T STands For Summery TomaToes



 Summer is saying good-bye, I reckon. Well, "summer" - do it better next year!!!
 

 To take part in Elizabeth and Bleubeard´s "T Stands For Tuesday" I present more yum:


Yumyumyum.

And...  Art-wise...

Another 60-90-seconds sketch (This is what it´s all about):

And, oh, can you believe it - it´s September already!

Let´s say hello!

Pressie from my dear friend Grace - the money went to Perth Children´s Hospital.
 

Laugh with them here!

  Henry 🦁...

 


... he gives you a smile 😊

Your tomato salad looks SO good. I could eat that all day long. Your orange rosemary drink is totally unique and unusual. I've never seen or heard about anything like it before. It sounds wonderful, though. Henry looks pretty good as a bun, too. Thanks for sharing your tomatoes, your Henry bun, and your drink with us for T this Tuesday.

That's a wonderful drawing, too, dear Iris. Good luck with your eye appointment, too.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Elizabeth, yes, we get cool softdrinks over here lately!
Henry says thank you, also for hosting!

Ella said...

I really like tomato salad ... and I don't want to say goodbye to summer! Autumn equinox is on September 22!
Art-wise ... did you do it? I find the model very "hairy" ... LOL πŸ˜…
I could stop laughing ... I have tears in my eyes ... Kookaburra is very cute!
And Henry ... is very tasty today!
I was at the check-up for my diabetes and what a miracle! My glycaemia is very low! That certainly comes from the holiday!
I'll be writing a blog this afternoon, okay? Big HUG for you! xoxo

Good morning September Iris thanks for the tip on how to delete a photo-hopefully blogger will get that fixed someday.
your tomatoe salad looks delish the chipmunks ate every one of my tomatoes we were so dry here I think they needed them more than me haha
Your drink sounds delicious too is it like a soda?
Happy T Kathy

We have had some spectacular tomatoes this year. I will miss them!

be well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com

Iris Flavia said...

Ella, I very, very much do hope summer reads your comment, I SO do!!! We DESERVE some hot summer-days still!
Yes, when I was studying we once a week in one semester had that art class - a big welcome (in that case also hairy 🀣) as contrast to the correct stuff in architecture!
I have three Kookaburras hanging right here above my PC.
Big Yay for your health, I have something on that tomorrow!
Off to the city now and then back to you, little BIG hugs 🦏 xoxo

Kathy, blogger sucks big atm. Real big. But it´s for free, so...
Here nothing grew this "summer", not even flowers! At least your chipmunks had their yum! πŸ…. Yep, I´d call it soda, it´s non-alcohol and sparkling. Oh, and yummy.
A happy T to you!

Iris Flavia said...

Mae, blogger kills me! You snatched in. Lucky you, here not.a.thing. Some bitter strawberries, that was all....

Anne (cornucopia) said...

Nice assortment of photos. Those tomatoes look delicious. July and August seemed to fly by, even though they were very hot where I am. I can't believe it's September already. Happy T-Day!

PerthDailyPhoto said...

Oh la! Brandon is pretty cute πŸ˜‰ it's been a while since I made tomato/mozzarella salad, with summer coming up that will soon change, it's one of my favorites πŸ’œ

Iris Flavia said...

Anne, yes, even despite shit#y weather time just flew by! Happy T-day.

🧑 Grace, yes, a joy for another month, thank you!!! Oh, rub it in with summer πŸ˜‰πŸŒž

That's my favorite salad. The flavors complement each other so well. We call it tomato caprese.

Your 90 second sketches are fabulous. Yet sometimes you make comments about not having art talent. I wonder if some unthoughtful important person, like as art teacher, once told you that. It happened to me in high school. I swore off art for many years and made crafts instead to satisfy my creative urge. Whoever made you doubt your talent was dead wrong! You are an artist!

"Fussy cut" just means precisely cutting out small pieces. I had many flowers and stems to cut with many twists and turns. My eyes and hands were tired when I finished.

Happy T-Day! Hugs, Eileen

gigi-hawaii said...

Nice pictures. Love the tomato, basil and mozzarella dish.

Karen said...

Henry on a sandwich even ~ He shows up everywhere! Caprese salad is the perfect summer treat.

Jackie McGuinness said...

There is nothing like a good tomato, I could live on them!!!!

Tomatoes and mozzarella taste good. Happy T Day.

Let's Art Journal said...

Such a fun post, loving your September images ...lol πŸ˜‰. The tomato and mozzarella salad is such a classic and reminds me of summer - yum! Love the cute lion on the sandwich, how amazing is that 😁. Wishing you a very Happy T Tuesday! Hugs, Jo x

William Kendall said...

The kookabura image is neat.

RedPat said...

We've been eating tomatoes from the garden every day! Yummy!

Iris Flavia said...

Eileen, I thank you. I re-found my stylo and maybe I´ll try again!

Why is it called fussy I still wonder? You get all fussy? I started a little fussy-collection already, and now I have a name for it!
Happy T-day to you you, and hugs!

gigi, yes, yum!

____

creativeseconds, it´s Braunschweig, the City of Henry the Lion 🦁 - he needs to be on a roll! And everywhere else!

____

Jackie, I agree - what is missing is good olive oil, though!

____

Valerie, yupp and happy T-day.

____

Jo, yes, aren´t those calendars great! 🦁 Henry says thank you, he thinks he is yummy like a tomatoe πŸ… salad! Happy T-day and hugs from here! x

Iris Flavia said...

William, yes, it is!

Divers and Sundry said...

I've never seen a drink like that, but I tend to like orange drinks. The kookaburras are great! Happy T Tuesday

At Home In New Zealand said...

Your tomato salad looks divine :)

My name is Erika. said...

We've been eating tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and basil lately. It is such a wonderful summer taste, isn't it? And nice drawing too Iris. Love how your found Henry's face in the bread too. Nice looking. Hope it was a super T day. Hugs-Erika

Kate Yetter said...

Your tomatoes with mozzarella and basil look delicious! And what a cute way to present a sandwich. Such a creative piece of bread.
I can't believe it is September either. Where has the year gone?

Happy Tea Day,
Kate

Good thing that 2020 has now only four months left.

River said...

Your summer is leaving and ours is soon arriving, the blue skies and warm breezes are already here, but I think (I hope) we are to get rain next week. "They" are predicting a wet spring and I hope that happens.

Iris Flavia said...

Divers and Sundry it was yummy and yes, the birds are cute (in the wild, we have one (one!) in the zoo, he never laughs).

____

Margaret, it was, and so quick and easy.

____

Erika, maybe summer comes back, as will tomatoe-salad! The pregnant woman was a joy to sketch, always, those round forms are easy to catch.
Henry-buns you get at the Lion-bakery 🦁 always :-)
It was a great day, thank you and hugs from here!

____

Kate, this is the City of Henry the Lion and at the Lion bakery... well ;-)
Yes, scary how time flies.

____

Dora, nah, time runs too fast and "Corinna" will take her time anyways...

____

River, I loooove rain, especially in Perth/Madeley - our caravan park has eucalyptus trees, yummy smell! And the sound on the tin-roof!
Fingers crossed for rain for you!

Jeanie said...

Everything looks delicious -- and I am especially loving your caprese salad. I do love tomatoes, basil and mozzerella. Whomever decided to put them together like that should win an award!

Lisca said...

Tomato and mozzarella, yumm! I like that.
Your quick sketch of the fat thighs is great. (Made me smile)
Oh, Henry on a bun! That is unusual. Also unusual is your arange and rosemary drink. Never heard of that. Does it taste nice?
Love the fire fighter calendar. Brandon certainly is a hunk!
Happy belated T-Day (Yes, I'm late again as per usual. Tuesday is just a very busy day and I spend the whole of Wednesday catching up)
Lisca

Iris Flavia said...

Jeanie: ME!!!! ME! πŸ† πŸ˜‚

Lisca, Henry belongs on a bun in The City of Henry the Lion 🦁.
The drink is refreshing and the lady really was highly pregnant!
I´ll love greeting Brandon this month every time I go into kitchen or living room 🧑

CJ Kennedy said...

Mmm, a Caprese salad. So summery. I'm trying to hang on to the last days of Summer. Henry on a bun is almost too cute to eat. Almost. πŸ˜‰ A friend from Australia when she came to visit brought my girlies when they were little some stuffed toys with her. A Koala that played Waltzing Matilda when you squeezed his paw, and a Kookaburra that laughed when you squeezed his belly. The Eldest would tell jokes to the Kookaburra and then squeeze him to get a laugh. Then she would say. Thank you. Like she was a stand up comedian. Thanks for that happy memory and Happy T Day

pearshapedcrafting said...

Yes , Summer is ending and the leaves here are beginning to change colour already! We never got to the beach but there's always next year......and it must surely be an improvement on the Summer we have all had!!
Take care, belated Happy T Day, Chrisx

Hi Iris,

Why fussy-cutting? One definition o fussy ifs full of detail. So when you fussy-cut, you try to be very precise and pay close attention to the little details. That's why my eyes were so tired. lol Hugs, Eileen
