Today I made crabapple jelly.   It looks like rubies and smells like floral perfume.

Going to be painting this sprinkle donut called "Birthday Cake" at DoRite Donuts in Chicago.   I will post the completed painting soon!

Ever since I went snowboarding in Wisconsin Saturday in 5 degree F. temps, I've been suffering with a cold and fever.  But today I feel on the mend.  Still weak but the worst is over.  Anyway, hot oatmeal seemed like a nutritious energizing option on this cold winter morning.   I just took what I had in the kitchen, some carrots, ginger, brown sugar, and steel-cut oats.  I also sliced some oranges on the side and added raisins, cardamom, and milk, to the hot oatmeal.   I have to admit, it really hit the spot!  I feel good now. :D

Today it snowed all day and I decided to try a treat I saw in a coffee shop in Miami.  Cocoa Puff Crispy Squares.   I just followed the recipe on the marshmallows bag for rice crispy treats.  But I substituted the cocoa puffs for rice crispies.   A little sweet for every day but not bad for the day after snowboarding in freezing cold weather!  

Treats from the local farmer's market.
