I have been very excited to finally see some fruit from one of my fruit trees, this tree was relocated from my previous home 2 years ago and it was only at the most 2 feet tall when planted. I was surprised to see many guavas on the tree and I was actually hesitant that […]

Garden Update.
After struggling with the weeds entangled in the stones on the back garden and after treating it with vinegar to kill them off, I decide to lift everything lay new fabric and wash all the rocks. I only took before and after pictures. This project very quickly became one of those that you are wondering […]
Surviving lockdown.
It’s been a couple of months since this crazy Covid-19 pandemic locked down the world and it’s been more devastating for some than to others but I think that the majority of us had to make some adjustments to our daily routine. I know for me my day would now start with my cup of […]

This particular recipe is closer to a Crema Catalana, a little softer in texture, like a custard. Try to use the best ingredients […]
30 day challenge … day 3
Okay… I think I am naming these 30 (5×7) painting challenge, I think it would make more sense to call it the 30 painting challenge. So anyways here it is, this one was very challenging not my favorite, I just couldn’t get those bamboo leaves to my liking but it is what it is and […]
30 day challenge day 3 delayed post.
Day 3 was painted on Friday but never got around to post it, nothing fancy I tried not to overwork the painting, I tried to lay the paint and not mess with it too much. I must admit I’m not doing very well with my challenge but I am painting a lot more than what […]
