T sTands for food and drink galore

Hi Everybody!

I had a fun weekend, did some drawing and painting, watched TV and read a lot. On Sunday I went out for lunch with my friend Heike, and we enjoyed ourselves.

This painting was made some weeks back and I am linking it to Erika's seeing red challenge at AJJ. The text along the left side of her neck reads 'silence is golden'. I used acrylics on an A3 sheet of paper:





This evening we start celebrating Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link part, so here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang who come by!

I mostly eat a banana and a raisin roll or slice of bread for breakfast. This roll looks just like a mouse, but I'm thankful to say  there was no mouse in it!

 


I love my huge coffee cup:


The pub / restaurant that we went to on Sunday was decorated for carnival. Tomorrow is the big parade in many cities, but on Ash Wednesday it's all
 over:


We both drank Weizen beer without alcohol:



The food was delicious. I had 2 giant Shnitzels with lots of chips / fries and a salad. I only managed one Schnitzel, so they packed the other one for me and I will eat it tomorrow:



Glasses and cups, already almost empty:


Then Heike had a fun idea that we should go over the road to our fave Café  for a cappuccino!


She bought me a chocolate heart, so pretty:




I think this evening we will both be exhausted from eating and drinking!
Happy T Day, have a great week,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

  3. I love your red haired lady and her hair is quite fiery. It's a beautiful entry for Erika's theme at AJJ.

    Wow. Those schnitzels remind me of chicken fried steak we make here in the states. I would love a bowl of those fries/chips, too. You certainly had a great drink related day, too, with both coffee and non-alcoholic beer. Then off to get a cappuccino must have made it a perfect day out and about! Thanks for sharing your art, food, and drinks with us for T this week, dear Valerie.

  8. A fun weekend is so good for the soul, isn't it? It looks like you enjoyed yours. And I wonder what your lovely red haired lady is meditating about. I bet she has cleared her mind and is channeling her energy to you to Valerie. I like her, and that reed hair is perfect for AJJ. Thank you again for sharing. I hope your week back at the clinic isn't too exhausting. And hopefully your happy weekend energy will carry over into your week. Happy early T day. hugs-Erika

  16. Right!! It is just exhausting eating and drinking. LOL So much fun. Great post and photos.

  17. Wow, those are riesen schnitzels! I've never seen them so big! I must say I too love crispy schnitzels. In the sixties, my parents would sometimes take us to a restaurant called Wienerwald (one of the first chain restaurants I think) where we would eat schnitzels. Si I developed a taste for them. Sadly no schnitzels in Spain....
    Your red lady is impressive. Very fiery. And somewhere between a Modigliani and Klimt.
    Your outing looks really nice. Good food, a nice drink and above all, good company.
    Something they do well here is the alcohol free beers. They are really tasty.
    Happy T-Day,
    Keep smiling,
    Hugs,
    Lisca

  23. Liebe Valerie,
    deine gemalte Frau gefällt mir SEHR gut, sie hat viel Ausstrahlung. Und ihr beiden scheint viel Spaß beim Schnitzelessen-Bier-Kaffee-Trinken gehabt zu haben. So soll's sein. Schön, wenn es danach auch für den nächsten Tag noch ein Schnitzel gibt ;-DD
    Alles Liebe - Hapy T-Day - ❤️ - Traude

  29. I'm so glad you were able to get out for some fun with Heike. The restaurant and your lunch sounds really delicious and it looks like a wonderful time. All that and cappuccino too? Sounds like a great day!

  30. How nice that the clinic allow you to go out -and eat out too.
    I can see that you had a Fun time with your friend Heike, she looks very nice and cheerful, just the kind of friend one needs when a bit under the weather. That was a lovely gesture of hers to take you for an extra coffee - and to give you a lovely heart shaped chocolate.
    Your lady with the red hair is beautiful, I love the colours you chose to sue for her skin, you have really managed to get the tones just right. One again the hair does it for me though. Your trademark is the hair.
    Please take care
    Hugs, Neet xx
