Apples and rhubarb


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).

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.

MissT said...

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.....

Adam said...

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'

SueC said...

Ah hah.

Sheldonian...?

Unknown said...

Damn, i just walked passed the Sheldonian, If only I'd read this first I could have looked :)

Adam said...

the Sheldonian is the subject of the clue, but I did say 'another' of his monuments!

SueC said...

Hmmm......St Pauls Cathedral?

Adam said...

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!!!!

SueC said...

Whoo hoo.....I won!!!

Thanks A.
