Bananas for you, just a white building now and beautiful broth

- My great nephew Sawyer's contribution to the preschool Valentine party snacks.  The teacher asked for "healthy" snacks from everyone - so niece Abby came up with a creative idea, I think.

 - Late Friday afternoon - a lone building painter worked on this building.  My boss was in over the weekend and said the painter worked all day Saturday to finish up.  Someone wanted the graffiti covered up, I think.  Street artists had painted these two sides when they were hidden by trees (click to enlarge.)  Someone took down the trees and all was revealed.  On Monday morning, the whole building was white.  We admire the effort that took from one man, a ladder and a brush.

 - When my sisters were visiting several days ago - my sister Jo was talking about Southern Living magazine's Peanut Chicken Stew that I made for her last February when she was visiting.  She said she daydreams about how good it was, so I was inspired to make it this weekend.  Click on the red link above for the stew recipe.  The base of it - sweet potato broth - is pictured here.  It's so beautiful that I snapped a photo of it.  Last time I made it, I had some broth left over and froze it; later using it for a vegetable soup base.  It was the most delicious soup I ever made.  Let me know if you make the stew.  I used rotisserie chicken from the grocery store instead of cooking it myself.
