Thanks to the outcome of Election Day there is more hope in the world this week.

The exciting part of the week was that Tricia went to the dentist and I got a haircut – sometimes the mundane is quite alright.  It was a good week for just sketching some odds and ends and using some different mediums.

I dug out my Duke Confucius Fude pen.

Here are a few more of my daily sketches.

Often our meals are inspired or motivated by what is on hand. We had a lot of mushrooms so on Monday I made a mushroom tart with an olive oil crust. The crust was a new style for me, it turned out well, but found it is a bit different to handle from a butter crust, so it ended up uneven – lessons learned to be applied in the next iteration which will come agains since the flavor was so good.

How was your week? Did you have anything interesting to eat? What did you sketch?

I hope your upcoming week is filled with friends, and a bit of the mundane, some new food and old favorites. And of course I hope you are capturing the moments with whatever medium you find interesting.

Thanks so much for following, and commenting.
