Another weekend has passed, thus I hope you had a safe weekend. Ballroom dance events filled two of our evenings and we ate well each evening. Therefore, I made one of my favorite soups Sunday evening: Bok Choy and Navy Bean Soup, a variation of a escarole and navy bean soup from a long-standing vegetarian restaurant in New Haven, Connecticut – Claire’s Corner Copia. (We have one of her cookbooks).
For your Monday Morning Entertainment, I have to give Mags credit for finding this gem. I can’t recall if she used this exact video, but artist does a variety of portraits using only a salt shaker and a piece of paper. If you want to see more, click here. Enjoy and have a good week.
Another good excuse to play at the dinner table.
Mobius,
LOL … oh, that is a good one! Thanks for visiting and for providing a morning chuckle for me.
How cool! Going to mess around with my salt now
Mimo,
LOL … the video sure encourages playing! Simply a fun and interesting talent! Thanks for visiting.
Please pass me the salt…
Don,
Glad you like this amazing art and thanks for commenting.
Hi,
Sounds like you had an enjoyable weekend.
Yes it is the video, and I watched it again, just outstanding.
Mags,
Darn – when I decided to use it today, I couldn’t remember because I watched others too. Thanks for the find and for visiting.
Love this! Very much like some of the sand table painting videos. Here’s a link to one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=518XP8prwZo
Now back to my low sodium diet.
Lynn,
Low sodium diet reminds me that I seldom pick up a salt shaker and watch it when cooking with it. Meanwhile, if seen the lady with the sand table. Heck, just finished watching 5-6 others videos she did. Thanks for visiting and sharing!
I really love bok choy so I’m sure that was delicious. And I wish I could play in salt right now.. too bad I won’t waste any of my stuff LOL.
Kay,
The soup was tasty … and the good news is, we have enough for another meal! Thanks for visiting.
Amazing. Thank you, with my love, nia
Nia,
Glad you enjoyed the Monday journey with salt. Have a good week and thanks for visiting.
I hope your week rocks, too!
Hook,
Many thanks … and hope you have a bountiful week of stories to tell … well, with good tips.
Very cool salt art….I bet the artist is quite popular in restaurants! Oh….and the soup sounds delicious! Hope you have a great week Frank : )
Alex,
Especially on Sunday in the winter, we enjoy soups that spend several hours on the stove … ah the smell! Going off the top of my head, ingredients included bok choy, navy or great northern beans, basil, garlic, potatoes, parsley, cabbage, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Yes – tasty! Glad you enjoyed the salt art and thanks for stopping by!
I love all kinds of soup….my favorite being gumbo, which takes me about 5 hours to cook. When traveling I always try the local soups which at times can be quite adventurous, and usually delicious!
Alex,
If you ever make it to New Haven CT, Clarie’s Corner Copia is at the southern edge of the Yale campus. http://www.clairescornercopia.com/ … and she provides some recipes on this site.
Amazing. I once did something similar, but with pepper. Unfortunately, I used black paper and nothing showed up
Hansi,
Disagree … you just forgot the white background and possibly the risk of sneezing! Glad you liked the salty art, and thanks for visiting.
well, just when you think you have seen everything. It is amazing the variety of ways artist find a way to do art.
Nancy,
Just another example of human creativity striking again. Actually many more videos of the artist doing others in salt – and fun to watch. I showed one to my wife to see how long it took her to guess who it was … and she did well. Thanks for visiting.
And not a pinch thrown over the shoulder for luck? For shame!

(Yeah, I’m late to the party. You got lost in the untamed wilderness that is my Inbox!
John,
Untamed wilderness of your inbox … LOL … Meanwhile, this artist has an interesting skill! BTW – better late than never!
