The individual parts, from the tiny cucumbers, the even smaller peppercorns, the fork to the glass, come from a "Miniverse" ball. The individual parts are glued together with synthetic resin in a similar way to a model kit, leaving the design up to your own creativity. The synthetic resin must finally be cured with a UV lamp. The glass is only about 1 cm in diameter and 2 cm high.

"Roasted Red Potatoes"
Best viewed large.
This is my basic recipe for roasting potatoes. From here, you could add just about anything.
Cut one pound of small red (new) potatoes into small chunks. Spray a baking dish and put the potatoes in it. Drizzle with olive oil, salt & pepper and toss to coat. Spread out and bake in a preheated oven at 375F, for about 20 minutes, or until tender. Sprinkle with some chopped regular or Italian flat leaf parsley.
I sprinkled a bit of paprika on them before baking to add some color.
Sprinkle with thyme or with rosemary and crumbled feta for a Greek Style potato. Add some garlic. The options are endless.
"Filet of Salmon on a Bed of Sauteed Leeks and Green Onion".
Best viewed large.
Saw this on a menu once, and although I did not order it, I decided to try to create it at home. It has been a favorite of mine for several years.
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Trim the ends of the leeks, cut the bottom part of the leek in half, lengthwise, and thinly slice the white part, as well as about one inch of the light green. Sadly the bulk of it gets thrown away. If you buy them by the pound, you'll see why these become an expensive item! Leeks grow in very sandy soil, so wash the cut leeks carefully to get all the grit out. Trim and slice the green onion the same way. For two salmon filets, I used 2 leeks and six green onion.
Season the salmon with salt and pepper and bake 10-15 minutes. A general rule of thumb is about 10 minutes per inch of thickness, if you like your fish cooked through.
In a pan, heat equal parts olive oil and butter. Add the leeks and green onions, salt and pepper to taste, and saute until soft. Should take about 10 minutes.
Place the leek mixture on the plate and place the salmon filet on top. Pretty simple yet tasty. The sweetness of the leeks works very well with the salmon. You could also add garlic to the leek mixture, and a splash or two of white wine when sauteing would be nice as well.
"Asparagus Parmesan"
Best viewed large.
Trim the ends from a bunch of asparagus, and soak in cold water for about 15-30 minutes.
Lay out asparagus in a sprayed baking dish, and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt & pepper, and then top with parmesan cheese. Bake at 350F for about 15 minutes or until asparagus reaches your desired degree of doneness. If you would like the melted parmesan more browned, move to the broiler for a few minutes.
"I Made This.........72"
I ran this as a special for two weeks and it sold very well. This is part of a line of amped up grilled cheese sandwiches I am planning for the new menu.
This sandwich consists of two slices of cinnamon-raisin bread, a slice of cheddar on each slice, apple butter spread on one slice over the cheese, and heated deli sliced turkey. It would be great with leftover turkey from the upcoming holidays.
This is a paint by number. My daughter gifted this to me at Christmas. I have just finished painting it. In this photo I still have some work to be done. I made this. :-)
"I Made This.........50"
For my 50th "I Made This", I decided to make this dish in honor of two of my favourite flickrites...Corey and Carl.
Carl and I have known each other for a long time. Due to changes in schedules, we don't get to chat much anymore, but I always follow his goings-on via flickr. His "I Made This" group creation, inspired me to cook more at home, and become more creative again. Miss you, Carl.
As for our adorable Corey....well, what can I say? When two guys in different parts of the country wear the same Mundies on the same day...kindred spirits I think. I love following his life on flickr, and I love his "naughty" comments he makes on peoples photostreams, and he loves my butt. What more can a guy ask for?
Inspired by both, I created this dish just for them.
Take a box of frozen kernel corn and a box of peas, preferably early spring peas, and cook. Drain, and toss with salt & pepper, butter and basil. Serve.
Enjoy guys...I love you both!!
Yummmmmmmmmmmm...

Layers of sauteed mushroom, grilled eggplant cheese and mustard/mayo sauce.
Needed something else though tasted incomplete.
I wanted potato and leek soup - but maki too! Cuisine conflict!
Mashed avocado, mini onions and chopped salmon seemed to work though.
People asked what are you going to make with it, sewing needles. So, stick pin for scale.
Yes, I even made the little nuts. Crushed a few in the process. Parts of this were made on a lathe not much newer than after the period this is modeled.
See photo stream for other pictures. It took over a year working once a week about 5 hours.
I had one left over - so I thought I try it with grilled chicken.
Not too bad but I think the jelly base needs to be different - more consomme or oniony. The lemon and dill parts were fine though.
For Macro Mondays - I made this. Turquoise beaded necklace on a embroidered tea towel with a watercolor Sunset after a monsoon looking west from Paseo del Bosque Trail as the background.

i got an idea in my head about a 2 sided mug rug where each side also featured the quilting from the opposite side ... and this is what i ended up with!
hope you like it partner - i went with the KJR dots because they're just so dang cheery!
sticking a few little extras in an envelope and this will be in the mail tomorrow!
To be happy in this world, especially when youth is past, it is necessary to feel oneself not merely an isolated individual whose day will soon be over, but part of the stream of life slowing on from the first germ to the remote and unknown future.--Bertrand Russell

I made WAY too much of this but it is seriously ridiculously good.
pound orzo (rice-shaped pasta)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, juices drained
1 1/4 cups whipping cream
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Bring a heavy large saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the orzo and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a heavy large frying pan over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic, and saute until tender, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook until they are tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in the cream and peas. Add the orzo and toss to coat. Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the Parmesan to the pasta mixture and toss to coat. Stir the pasta mixture until the sauce coats the pasta thickly, adding enough reserved cooking liquid to maintain a creamy consistency. Season the orzo with salt and pepper, and serve.
