Today you could have thought it's April, judging from the weather! In the morning it was snowing like in deepest winter. Then towards noon it stopped, the clouds disappeared and the temperatures rose towards spring, if not early summer like heights! Then towards the evening fog crept in from the lake!
As some of you know, I'm not much of a cook (OK, not much of a housewife in general) so I don't experiment a lot. However tonight I felt like something different so I cooked some pasta and for the sauce chopped up a Paprika (red pepper) and some cherry tomatoes, fried them with some olive oil, added cream and ground cheese (Grana Padano, hmmm!) and some garlic salt, pepper, ground paprika, nutmeg, basil and origano... and wow, it turned out really well! I think next time I'll try the same with crème fraîche instead of cream, as a variation. I must admit I'm pretty proud of myself! :D
And I also made another wallpaper. OMG how could I resist when I found those pictures... (the last one, which fit in perfectly and really made the set complete, today). I started last night - and by now I really should know better than to start putting together the pictures for a wallpaper less than an hour before midnight. Because of course I couldn't resist to start dabbling with them, and well... um, let's say it wasabout 1 1/2 hours a little bit later than midnight until I went to bed! However I think I'm starting to get the hang of the whole textures and brushes thing, which is great! But enough babbling about it, here is said wallpaper, and yes it's snaggable - not like there are more than one or two people on my flist who are into Joaquin... ;)
