STEAK=OUT for Sheila...James

Sheila's theme for her Moleskin is "Things You Love". Aside from the "Four F's"... Faith, Family, Friends and Freedom, that leaves my pups, Pokey and Taco Belle, Art and 18 Billion other things. While pondering this dilemma in 108 degree temps, out sitting under a tree, after a long day slaving in the greenhouse, and wondering where my energy went...I gave up, had a beer, and took a nap. Did the same thing the next day. And for the next 6 days. That's why I'm a week late. Then one day, I came home with a bit of pep left, thirsty and hungry. So I whipped up a steak, and a big stuffed potato, and a Zeigenbock Amber (only in Texas). While I was dining, I thought.."Man. I Love This". So I decided to paint it. That's why it's a little less than good....Had to paint it from memory. Bon Apetit.. Sheila!!!

  7. Irit...just a bit of advice...putting catsup on a steak in Texas is a capital offense. ;-)

  9. I'm with Angela, I'm wanting a beer after looking at this one :D Although I also love a nice stuffed baked potato. James, don't feel bad about being late, I'm still late to do Vern's and Sheila's. Sometimes we get a little block, but that's okay, tomorrow is always another day and I know I will get them done and don't you worry, peeps, they will be on their way to you!
