Molly entertained our tastebuds tonight with homemade "Nutt House" meatloaf--Mary Lou Watkins' gen-u-ine recipe! Little Miss provided after dinner entertainment by drawing our portraits. I particularly like the emphasis on chins and cheeks. And that she gave us all blacked out teeth. And pig noses. Maybe we can start hiring her out to do caricatures at parties, or the soon to open Mary Lou Watkins Dinner Palace Theater at the Nutt House Hotel. You read that right! Shortly you too can enjoy a catered dinner and live entertainment inside the Nutt House Hotel.
But will you be able to purchase an orginial work of fine art?!
Happy 4710, by the way. We Nockinbirds welcomed the Year of the Dragon last night with homemade Buddha's Delight, bacon fried rice (probably not favored by Buddha), store bought eggrolls, and traditional Chinese New Year oranges, or clementines in our case because they are so much easier to peel.
I found this inspiration at Walmart while shopping for our Year of the Dragon feast (my sweet baby brother is a dragon...explains a lot really). I felt all inspired to come home and stitch it up...I probably should have just bought the $3.96 plaque. Ooooh! Chinese New Year resolution: actually stitch this! That's it! I'm committed! I'll post updates.
