Inspired by Graham's recent exploration of fruit and vegetables, here is a little composition named Apples and Rhubarb
Only joking.......
Whenever I am frustrated in my painting efforts, I have to go and make something. Usually something involving scissors and glue with my kids, but today I decided to get creative in the kitchen instead.
So I made rhubarb, apple and ginger crumble for Lucy since the rhubarb was plucked from her garden on sunny Bank holiday afternoon.I love these old Salter scales I got from ebay....they date from the 50s I think, keep meaning to find out. But they work perfectly and have outlived nasty electronic devices.

You are a domestic goddess and I claim my £10!
I think your apple's look nicer that Graham's (family motto secret et hardi).
Ego sum an artifex quod scelestus

Why does no one ever bring me crumble…;) all smothered in creamy custard…yummy…Will you be serving up such delights at your exhibition Sue?
Not knowing any Latin, I did a search on Google for useful Latin sayings…so I would look like I knew what you were both talking about…the first saying I found was…
"Exegi monumentum aere perennius." - I have erected a monument more lasting than bronze.
Now I just need to wait for exactly the right moment to use it…;)
si monumentum requiris, circumspicere.
A pint to the first person who identifies where you'd see this inscription... as long as you are prepared to swear blind you didn't Google it.
No Graham, no - you have nice, hot crumble with cold yummy cream. Contrast of hot and cold, very pleasing.
A - sorry couldn't resit a Goggle 8-).
Adam - I know what the phrase means but I am stuck on where you might see it inscribed.......any clues because I am sorely tempted to google.
Graham - There will be delights aplenty in the exhibition next week, just not of the edible kind I regret to say.....
ooh... how to give a good clue?
if you've walked down Broad Street you've seen another of his monuments!
nb... I mistype the last word - it should be 'circumspice'
Ah hah.
Sheldonian...?
Damn, i just walked passed the Sheldonian, If only I'd read this first I could have looked :)
the Sheldonian is the subject of the clue, but I did say 'another' of his monuments!
Hmmm......St Pauls Cathedral?
IS THE RIGHT ANSWER!!!!
Luce will be my proxy and buy you a pint tomorrow, assuming you've finished painting in time to go out!!!!
Whoo hoo.....I won!!!
Thanks A.
