Hey Family,
I have to tell you all about this wonderful new site called, "Theydrawandcook.com"
It is a most wonderful site! They are looking for artist who can draw and of course cook i.e. the name.
I got a delicious email from Nate Padavick . He and Salli Swindell
of Studiosss.com run the delicious site!
He invited me to do a piece. I did my Geechee girl's Low Country Red Rice Recipe with some illustrations.
I have to tell yall it was fun, fun, fun!!! The most fun I've had in a while. This girl enjoys food and art.
What is more divine than food and art??? I love it! My blogger pal the very talented
and hilarious Michael Robertson of Sambaforrats.blogspot.com
did the most Fabulous work of art that you have got to see!
If you get the chance go and check it out. You won't be sorry!
It's an illustrator's and Foodie's dream come true! he he he he he!!!
Shrimp and grits Yall!

Okay, so when do I get my beans and rice? How can you put this on here and not tell us where you are serving it up! I'm tired of your family having it! Hmmmph! lol! I love it, love it! You create on every level! You're a clone, right? Big hugs with a growling tummy! :)
Fantastic V!! Looks tasty... the food I mean! I don't want to imply that I would eat your artwork - I leave that sort of stuff to my 11 month old.
wow...I go away for a few days and come back to see this masterpiece! I'm so glad you got involved-you've really added a kick-start to the site! thanks!
your amazing personality and awesome spirit is sure to get many other artists involved and not only will we get to see a lot of great illustrations, but we'll also get to eat lots of delicious food as well!
thanks,for the shout-out too, my friend-it couldn't have come from a better person.
I just got hungry typing that, so if you'll excuse me, I gotta go cook me something good to eat...
AWESOME, Nester! This rocks..you are so talented beyond words. Love that it's LOW country Rice..coo-ool. Hope you're having a wonderful week so far...look at all of the great pieces you come up with each week..amazing. Still under a pile o' stuff..hope to come out maybe when the Easter bunny shakes his tail. : ) Hugs to you!

Hi Vanessa,
Thank you for visiting and commenting on my blog, I'm truly honored.
I love your creativity, you so inspire me to get drawing again. I'm no where near your level of talent, but not too shabby :)
Your entry in "They draw and cook" is the best one!
You'll be seeing me around your blog a plenty.
All the best
Eve
