This was one of those lunches that surprisingly just worked
Apple Cinnamon + BBQ Trout Salad
Leftover NC trout + chopped carrot, celery, green pepper and apple + cinnamon + Apple Cinnamon BBQ sauce (from EarthFare) =
Served with toast and plum jam.
Even the bears liked it! (Although they like anything wish fish given their genetics…)
I worked on my closet a little this morning. Transition to cold weather clothes is necessary. Matt did not like that I covered up the duvet when he got home!
SCULPT class was great. Not as intense as other days, but I still felt the burn. I got in 20 minutes on the Stairmaster as a warm-up too. ‘Twas a great workout.
After lunch the mail came! I got a card from my grandmother, who is an artist and sent some of her recent Sunday school art projects. The bird is a holy spirit that sits still very nicely and the card is St. Pascal, patron saint of kitchens! [And would believe that while I was double checking the spelling of his name that I discovered he was beatified TODAY – on 29 October 1618 by Pope Paul V!!]
Some more of my grandmother’s artwork: her animals and Adam + Eve
The Aztecs
And Shakespeare’s Seat
I am headed down to Rock Hill early to work on a project that involves gathering prices of foods at EarthFare. And speaking of fishin’ for apples, I’ve got a coupon for a free bag of honeycrisps with the purchase of an item at EF! YUM!
Back home late tonight for an easy soup dinner.

Take it from a former art major; awesome pieces of creativity right there. Whimsical and colorful. Also like the mish-mosh sweet-and-tangy salad idea; made something similar involving wheat berries, fresh and dried cranberries, and Annie’s honey mustard dressing last night.

hey kath,
what happened to the “header” underneath your banner (where there were various catagories) — i can’t see that anymore.
Kath says
Not sure what you mean? Everything looks OK to me!

I have some apple BBQ sauce that I am planning to make some beans with!
There is the hole in the wall place on the Charlottesville downtown mall that makes a sandwich with sliced apples, cheese, spinach and BBQ sauce. I can’t think of the place now but it was SO good!
Julie says
I love the artwork, your grandmother is very talented.

Eve says
You’re making me feel like I really need to go change over my closet!! It can be overwhelming when you take everything out, but then you feel so good when it’s done! I haven’t had a chance to change over mine yet, hoping one weekend I have some free time to do so!
Mama Pea says
I love how Grandma hid Adam and Eve’s naughty parts. So clever 🙂

Your pictures look amazing! I love the playfulness of your grandma’s paintings, very creative
megan says
a free bag of honeycrisps sounds great! although, I actually prefer golden delicious to honeycrisp apples. I chop one up every morning to put in my oatmeal – so good!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
i just cleared out my closet too, though in southern cali the weather never really requires a “winter wardrobe.” i am planning on hosting a swap with all my non-used stuff, to make sure they go to good homes.
Julia says

K says
Apple Cinnamon BBQ sauce sounds awesome!! What a great flavor combo!
That artwork is great – the colors are so vibrant! Score on the free bag of apples!
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
I would never think to add apples and cinnamon to BBQ sauce and fish. Sounds strange. But I’m willing to try anything once.
maria says
Your grandmother’s art work is fabulous. I love it! 🙂 Gotta love having an artist in the family.
Megan says
Apples in salad is the BEST. Especially with cranberries!!

Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
What a neat combo! Oddly enough, it really sounds delicious!
I’m so impressed by your grandma’s artwork. How neat that you have so much of her work!
Kath says
Thanks for all the nice comments on my grandmother’s art!! She is not a professional artist – meaning she doesn’t paint for a living – but she has hundreds of paintings and has been in galleries! I don’t believe that her art is for sale, but it should be!

Lu says
