Grilled deliciousness

It's summer and grill season. Actually, here it's so hot, it's a torture grilling or doing anything outside. Even the polymer clay is melting in my hands, but I'm persistent. My brain is melting too, I have no thoughts in there, so let me just show the pictures.

And this is the proof of a good food.

We love pizza

Pizza is another favorite in my family, right after the spaghetti. The biggest challenge was to make the sticky cheese on the top of the pizza, especially at the edges. There is an awful adhesive in Hungary, Technokol Rapid, which is so messy I can't use it for making miniatures. Its special attribute is leaving thin adhesive fibers all over the work. (And it smells terrific, it even causes headache.) But when I mixed it with some white acrylic paint, the "concoction" is perfect for melt cheese.
I made various flavors, pizza with zucchini, with mushroom and with peppers. The salami was constant. And of course I made my usual little scene, too.

Salmons

I made some fish in the past, but it was only carp. Now I try salmons, and I made it a little bit more interesting by adding fish intestines spilling out of one of them. If your stomach is turning and you can almost smell the fish and the guts, I did something right. I hope you are not right before breakfast, lunch or dinner according to your location in the world. If you are, I'm so sorry!

Nuts

That's it! I'm officially nuts! Or at least I made a lot of nuts. This time they are chestnuts, walnuts and hazelnuts. I still don't know what the hardest part was, making them or inventing the best methods to make them. I really love the results, although I have to come up with a better way of fabricating the spikes on the chestnut bur next time. I used sisal fibers, but it came out too thick. Maybe I should have used painted hair, like I wanted at the first place. First thought is always the best...
The leaves are mostly the perks of my big garden. (The chestnut leaves are from the internet.) I scanned them for printing onto silk paper.

Peanuts

I had a challenge this week. Somebody asked me to make peanuts for her. My first thought was even I wasn't crazy enough for that. But of course I had to give it a try. So here are my peanuts and my "giant" dices.

And I think it's just perfect to add some crackers to the peanuts.

Greens

As I watched my garden a few days ago I admired the wonderful greens of May. These colors inspired me to make some green vegetables. Absolutely healthy goods! Although making the peas didn't do any good for my mental state. I'm sure I dreamt about tiny green balls yesterday.

Spaghetti bolognese

Is there anybody out there in the world who doesn't love spaghetti with delicious sauce? If there is they definitely aren't from my family. Whenever I ask what to make for dinner our kids always answer in unison, spaghetti. (Or pizza, that's the second best.) Here is my version in preparation board style. Do you want to guess what the hardest part was? It was the sauce. I tried acrylic paint, glass paint, still water, ground baked fimo, chalk powder and whatever got into my hands to gain the perfect mixture, but never got it. What you can see on the pasta is the best I could do, and now I don't remember the concoction.
Bon appetite!
