ART - What emerges from the fractured ankle

Guess what I've been doing? 

Drawing…

my leg… 

in a cast…

for three long weeks 

after one sweet instant 
when I missed a pushed up 
piece of sidewalk from the gnarly tree roots below on a normal afternoon walk that sent me BOOM! - up in the air sunny skies and baby carriages- look out- and rubber snakes in the grass - LITERALLY a snake in the grass -  and me, right down on the cement. Fractured the ankle and therefore the cast. 

I was given a choice of colour, and, you know, colour has infinite implications. If you read the lacy text on my drawing you'll see a few. 

So I've been busy with crutches and motorized scooters (fabulous) and propped up legs and then of course Turner Classic Movies, THANK GOD. http://www.tcm.com  I'd be going to the TCM festival if it wasn't such a hassle. 

So I content myself to heal while watching Ina Garten, the            BAREFOOT CONTESSA http://www.barefootcontessa.com/default.aspx
cook things like parmesan chicken, (that fabulous green arugla & yellow parmesan) and sea bass with prosciutto (claret red on white fish dotted brown - a painting)  and yellow cake with chocolate icing silky and smooth, and white pizza with arugla. What a wonderful show. I look forward to it every day and there are two of them back to back at one o'clock PST so I can eat my lunch & watch Ina at the same time. 

I mean look at this woman - doesn't she look happy? That's because she is doing what she loves - cooking. 

Food wonderful Food. 

You've seen my posts on restaurant Marino, http://marinorestaurant.net and La Brea Bakery, http://www.labreabakery.com and Joan's On Third http://www.joansonthird.com  which are a few of my LA favorites, but all right, here I am with my leg up and I'm renewing my appreciation for Ina.

I "liked" her on Facebook and she responded. That's Ina, not too busy to watch her social media. 

Don't those muffins look appealing?!! 

Thanks Ina. 

2 weeks to go. Love my food.
