Happy New Year to all my blog friends!!  I know, I know I’m late this time, penning down my thoughts. You know why, because I have been trying to paint my thoughts on canvas and every time I try  I fail! Lol! So, one dream that  I’m a Celebrity Painter is shattered. In dreams also I can’t imagine myself as a painter, I’m such an awful painter (ha- ha). Kudos to all the painter/artist who paints their thoughts and makes the walls of the house/palace/mansion/museum/social networking site beautiful and colorful.

So we had a snow storm and my gosh every time it snows I feel that nature has painted the surroundings so beautiful.  Everywhere it’s white like cotton and I love anything in white. It looks so pure and innocent.

So I was driving back home and on my way I just glanced at the frozen lake and there were trees surrounding the lake , the trees looked beautiful. Each branch was covered with snow ,as if somebody took so much care to sketch the branches in white. I thank all mighty to provide such a beautiful planet “Earth” which has given and will give so much. The season changes and your life, mood changes too. Everyone, let’s try to save our planet!!

Look at this , Beautiful

So coming back to my imagination or you can say my dream, btw I dream 24/7 (ha ha). I was thinking that if I had a house boat and on one evening I’m just sitting  and relaxing on the deck facing the frozen  lake , sun rays makes the lake  shimmer like silver and in the middle of the lake there is a bonfire and the fire provides the bright red and yellow reflection . Imagine the mix of color silver, bright red and yellow. Wow how romantic! Isn’t it? Just imagine you are gazing at this beautiful view with a nice instrumental  in the background and don’t forget munching on a finger licking food with a sip of wine or cocktail. Aha, i’m just screaming with excitement and wish this dream I could make it real.

So I thought of doing some research on the house boat  not that I would like to own one but definitely would want to spend one special evening all by myself and later on entertain friends and family. Sometime you really want me time and who wouldn’t want “me” time like this in a luxurious way. Yeah !!  that’s the expression I have right now, while penning down my imagination(ha ha).

Here are some spectacular house boat .

Now I am all rejuvenated by the dream I just lived  and its time to entertain my friends with one finger licking starter which I imagined myself gulping  while sitting on the deck facing the beautiful view.

So my finger food is Bacon Wrapped Thai Shrimp and my background music which I always listen .

Here are the steps  for the receipe:-

• Marinate the shrimp with Thai Red Curry Paste , roasted cumin powder, chopped coriander leaves,  lime juice and salt to taste.
• Refrigerate the marinated shrimp for 30 minutes.

• Now place the bacon and cut the scallions lengthwise.
• Flatten the scallion and place it on bacon.
• Now its time to place the marinated shrimp , shredded cheese.
• Preheat oven to 350 f  and grill the bacon wrapped shrimp for 30 – 35 minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• All set to gulp in. Ginger infused Mojito accompanied the dish .

  

For all my artist , here is the imagination which I wanted to brush , a female sitting on a chair on the deck facing frozen lake surrounded by snow covered trees , where her toes are more prominent  in the picture . There is a small antique end table which  has empty glass with a bottle of wine. In the middle of lake there is a bonfire which is half immersed  in the frozen lake . Frozen lake reflects the rays of sun and fire. Whoever can paint this imagination i’ll be so delighted and would love you to post that painting here.

See you soon !!
