Haven't taken much photo of Maggie since I gave her a new face.
I really like her in this black dress. Don't who made it, but it was a gift from dear Laura. Thank you Laura:)
I really love the translucent face, how her tone changes against different lighting.
Chicken, Rice, and Veggie Crème Soup
1 Tbs olive oil
½ a large onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
1/3 green bell pepper, chopped (optional)
½ cup medium grain rice
¼ cup good white wine
Steeped mixture, strained (see below)
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup frozen mixed veggies (carrots, peas, corn, etc)
½ of a 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
salt & pepper to taste
1 cup cooked, diced chicken
1 cup fat free (or whatever) evaporated milk
Steeped Mixture: Combine and let steep for 4-5 minutes.
1 cup boiling chicken broth
1 Tbs Herbs de Provence (or dried herbs of your choice)
2 tsp Earl Grey de la Crème tea (or any Earl Grey tea)
Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add fresh vegetables and sauté until onions become translucent. Add rice and stir to coat in the oil. Let rice sauté for 5 minutes. Add wine, steeped mixture, chicken broth, frozen mixed vegetables, and tomatoes. Season with salt & pepper. Bring to a boil and then let simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is tender. Add chicken and evaporated milk, and cook over a very low simmer for another 10 minutes or until ready to serve. Soup will be thick, but feel free to add water or more broth until it’s as diluted as you like.
...so vivid these berries with the autumn sun shining through them and making them light up...
...view on black for full effect!...
Glass block window in our bathroom. This is the first house I have owned with these type windows. It's kind of cool because you can sort of see whats out side but not too clear. And amazingly enough they don't transmit a lot of heat. This window is over our tub which never gets used.
Taken through a sheet of plastic smeared with butter.
One of three - this one and Toby’s had the same amount vs the other show of Riley which had less.
Can’t say I liked any of them - but it was an interesting experiment.

Daily Dog Challenge - #5503 1/8 “Translucent”
it's been really hectic over the past week plus...
I brought a stray i've been feeding to neuter, (some of you may know him, it's the little one-eyed kitty, Du Yan) and he's staying temporarily in my house now to recuperate from the operation, creating much confusion and high emotions among my other 4 cats. it's been really hard to try and take care of him and comforting all the rest that it's all right. i really hope they get along but they, including Du Yan, all seem so traumatised! :(((
Plus my school work is working its evil voodoo now, so i really don't have the luxury of doing my fav flickring...
AND my precious camera was sent to Olymous due to a broken USB connector..i got it back today BUT i just found out it doesn't even switch on now!! <:(
i'm going to send it to them again over the next few days..fortunately, there's still my trusty but never rusty phonecam here.. :)
I'm really sorry that i don't have the time to pop by to all my friends right now, and argh i know i'm missing out a lot! But I promised to myself i will definitely satisfy my flickr addiction and pay all my friends out there a thorough visit once my life returns to a more normal pace.. :D
