Looking out from the window of the kitchen where i am working I can not believe , the flowers start to blooming . Oh , God your creations is so beautiful .
Today after I came from Camano I did same crapes , I enjoy doing .
I stuffed with apple butter and i sprinkle with honey . They tasted
pretty good .
The beauty of vibrant red of this apples impressed me so much , so I decided to do a few photography .
From the first bite ……
They are delicious and juicy .
To the last one ….. What a treat !!!!!!!
Today I tired to do another bread , now is 12 a clock night time when I take it from oven . is hot and smoky but I can not wheat , and I cat it and I put a little sweet butter to test . Oh , God is so delicious !
The top didn’t raise to much , but maybe next time …….The recipe sad to put the bread in cold oven and then to raise the temperature to 400F for 15 minutes , then to put 175F , for 25 minutes . I believe the 400F for start is to high temperature and do not aloud time to raise slow , so next time I will try from the start 250F or 275F for 45 minutes . I will see what will happened.
The texture is what i expect …..
A little sweet butter and honey …..
A glass dish with a single rose on the center of table can be a lovely and simple and elegant decoration .
Enjoy ! And have a nice week.

It has been sad that everyone has a story. That’s the case with Maria Muresan who, these days, expresses her creativity through cooking – for family , friends and at work at Plazza at Anderson House , a senior living community in Shorline , where she is a cook.
“ I fined cooking like art “’ sad Muresan , who writes a blog about cooking and posts photos of her culinary creations.
But throughout her life , Muresan has also been an artist .Since the time she was a young girl in the 1950s in her hometown of Lipova , Romania , she’s had a passion for drawing and painting , eventually obtaining a degree in fine arts.For the next 15 years , she put her talent to work making a difference in the lives of young people , teaching art to mentally disabled children.
“ These were children on the edge of society , I tired to inspire them to use art as a way to express themselves ,”she sad.They loved drawing .It make them happy .” She even surprised and impressed the residents of the small town when she organized an exhibit of the children’s artwork.” Anybody can express what they have inside their mind and heart through art , even if they can’t say ,”art”she sad .
Waile awaiting immigration approval to the U .S.,Muresan turned to painting as a way to support herself , working on commissioned portraits .” That was the most intensive seven years of my life “ she sad .
After immigrating to America in 1988 with her husband and two children , she resumed painting for pleasure , creating portraits of older women she took care of – one of women was 103 when she passed away. “ “ I was fascinated by her hands ,” she sad. “ They became bones and skin, but they were very expressive .”
When her coworkers at Anderson House discovered her talent , they asked if she wold share her art with the residents and the publik in a show . Her paintings , which include landscapes, portraits and a reproduction of a Spanish Painter’s piece titled “ The little fruit seller “ , are on disply at the Plaza through the month of February , along with some of her unique tapestries as well.
Lauren Vetromile , activities coordinator at the Plaza at Anderson House , sad she put together the current show , which includes some resident’s work as well as that of the staff , because she wanted to let others enjoy the art. “ It proves that art is everywhere and in every generation “ sad Vetromile It sparks conversation .You fined out so much about who ( the artists ) are.”
Also on display are the humorous drawings of Plaza resident Victor Hawkins , 91 , who began creating cartoons as a sickly child to occupy himself during the many long days he spent in bed . Later in life , Hawkins used his talent to create flight paths and water maps in the service .
The public is invited to a tea and celebration for the artists at the Anderson community on Sunday , Feb. 21 , from 1 to 4 p.m. Anderson House is located at 17201 15 th Ave . NE .in Shoreline . For more information , call ( 206 ) 364- 9336.
