Spoon on liberally then broil for 5-7 minutes, or bake for 15 minutes at 425 min. ( was also good)
Enjoy!!!!

the Deliciousness of Cool Climate Chardonnay

This weekend I had the privilege of being part of the Cool Climate Celebration via Zoom!  It was very entertaining as well as informative. I learned so much abouthe history of wine making in the various cool climate wine regions around the world.  I also had the privilege to listen to experts such as Andrew Jefford, Matt Kramer, Karen MacNeil and Ian D'agato.  Learning about our world class wineries in Canada from the experts was to me a great pleasure, I look forward to visiting them and sampling the various wines in the near future.

Alcohol Painting

Last Saturday I attended a very interesting workshop on alcohol painting!  Alcohol inks can be a fun way to do impressionistic designs for making greeting cards and other works of art.  They are acid free, highly pigmented and fast drying in a medium that can be used on non-porous surfaces. The free flowing quality of alcohol inks allows you to experiment with the layering of colours on your desired artwork.  I am going to experiment with making birthday cards for my family (I have been doing this with acrylic paints on canvas in the past), but with alcohol paints I have purchased Yupo paper which is tree free, recyclable synthetic paper!  I have also purchased my inks and am ready to see what I can come up with!!!  I will let you know in a future post how I make out!!!!!
