Ha! Just kidding… This recipe actually takes quite a bit of time but is therapeutic to do…
I posted this on The Helpful Blogger yesterday. Thought you might like to see it. You could make a vegan very thankful on Thanksgiving with this dish or make it as a show-stopping side dish.
Anyway… we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving.
Enjoy!

Maybe your skin is tighter than mine — especially around the jowls — but this happened to me Saturday at the book fair……
While sitting there, I worked on the above pen and ink. A lady came by and loved it and said she wanted to buy it. Yay…
At the same time, a photographer from one of the local magazines stopped by and started taking photos. The photographer encouraged me to continue to work on the drawing-she wanted an action shot.
So I did…until… the first lady said, “No, look up.”
“Why?” I asked.
“Because when you look down like that, your face hangs down.”
Yuck! At that pointed, I ended the photo shoot and asked the photographer to delete the photos.
Glad that I’m healthy, but aging is a bit of a pain… When I get up the nerve, I’m going to take a selfie to see how bad it is. For now, (LOL) ignorance is bliss.
Have a great day!
Writing
Spent today and will spend tomorrow at the Meet the Authors’ Book Fair. Lots of energy throughout the day…
Sold a couple books and hope to sell more tomorrow. All-in-all, the authors said sales of books were down. I took my 30-Day little paintings and was pleased with comments and the response. Sold several of those.
The best part was talking with other writers and friends I hadn’t seen in a while.

I won’t be around tomorrow and I’ve missed too mamy of the Sunday Selfie blog hops lately. So popping on tonight to post our selfie. Thanks to the Cat on My Head blog for sponsoring it.
Bugsy found out that playing with two ribbons at once doesn’t always work. He caught them both, but now he can’t move.
Have a great day…
Hugs, Bugsy, Knuckles, and Lou

If you’re near Melbourne, Florida, don’t miss the Artworks fine art festival in the Eau Gallie Arts District. It’s a great outdoor festival. It’s on Saturday and Sunday, November 17 and 18.
One of my paintings this week….
I’m having more fun with each floral painting.
Have a 24″ x 30″ started. Will show you progress on that in a few days.
Writing
Have you ever tried the Evernote app. If you’re a writer, you’ll love it. I use it to work on blog posts on the phone whenever I have spare time. And it’s fantastic when doing research. You can share articles to it and put them into a notebook for use when you write a post. If you try it, let me know how you like it.
The Boys
The Boys had a bit of trouble adjusting to the time change last weekend. They are doing better now.
More to come…..

The 30 – Day Challenge ended last Sunday. Here is a collage including all of the paintings. It was a fun challenge. I’ve made all of these into hand-painted greeting cards . They are for sale in my gallery.
I’m really hooked on flower art. I’ve not taken a break. I’ve made two more since last Sunday.

Am spending a lot of time daily writing. I am mainly working on posts for my (relatively) new blog, The Helpful Blogger. I am currently writing and posting a series on YO-YO DIETING. It explains what it is, what it does to us, and the post on Monday will give tips on how to design a lifestyle that supports weight loss, weight management, and overall health.
There’s so much to cover on this topic, I’ve decided to write a longer piece on it that will probably develop into a book.
The Boys…
The Boys are doing fine. They are participating in the Sunday Selfie Blog Hop put on by The Cat on My Head oh. Here’s their selfie for the week.
Yes, they always work hard on their Easy Like Sunday poses.
Have a Great day everyone!
hugs, Bugsy, Knuckles, and Lou

I am right on track this time with the 30 in 30 Painting Challenge. Today I will post Day 23. This year, I am painting 10″ x 7″ paintings on 140-pound watercolor paper, then folding them in half to make 5″ x 7″ hand-painted greeting cards. Here are a couple of the most recent.
The Boys have been very helpful throughout the process.
Hope you all have a great day… We’ll write more in another week when the Challenge is over.
Art News
Here are the latest from the 30 in 30 Painting Challenge…
Lots of flowers. Hope your life is full of them too.
What we’re doing…
We have been busy getting stocked up for hurricane season. We were surprised by Gordon last week. He didn’t come directly at us, but we got a surprise visit by enough rain to make me write out a list of supplies. They say there are several cyclones out in the ocean that may turn into tropical storms or hurricanes, so time to prepare.
Everything else is going fine here. Found a restaurant in town that has The Impossible Burger on its menu, so I tried that out and will be reviewing it soon on TheHelpfulBlogger.com.

As usual, we are participating in the Sunday Selfie Blog Hop put on by The Cat on My Head blog.
Look…I’m the same size as HH’s sketchbook. She could just trace me… Easy-peasy portrait…lol.
Have a great day,
hugs, Bugsy, Knuckles and Lou (HH)
