Cuban pastries with Cuban coffee!Today, we chatted over delicious Cuban pastries and coffee at my daughter's friend's house. I learned how to make delicious Cuban coffee from his mother and drank a Cuban coffee in a cute little glass. The pastry she baked herself was patelitos de guayaba (guava pastries), a delicious bread with a combination of sweet, chewy, and crunchy texture. I become very fond of Cuban pastries and coffee thanks to the invitation that day. Café Cubano is a rich and sweet coffee that resembles the passion of Cuba. Place ground coffee beans in a moka pot and prepare for extraction. Put 2-3 tablespoons of sugar in a glass measuring cup, add coffee powder boiled in a moka pot, and knead as if making flour dough until it turns into caramel. (When the coffee begins to brew, add a small amount of coffee to the jug containing the sugar, enough to slightly wet the sugar.) Afterwards, pour the coffee from the moka pot that has been boiled and extracted into this. Stir until the caramel melts to complete the process. Elizabeth shook the Cuban coffee well and poured it into a small, pretty glass like the one above. The coffee tasted sweet and full of flavor, like caramel espresso. Guava is a delicious fruit, and guava juice is sometimes called the ‘drink of the gods.’ Elizabeth also used guava, made it into jam and baked it into pastries. Of course, the combination of Cuban coffee and this pastry is a taste of heaven. Ingredients: 1 package Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets 1 bar guava paste 1 package cream cheese (optional) 1 egg (scrambled to make egg wash)

Light is the chaser away of darkness.Light is the chaser away of darkness. Shade is the obstruction of light. By Leonardo da Vinci's notebook. Light, in its essence, is not merely the absence of darkness but the active force that dispels it. In both literal and metaphorical senses, light serves as the chaser away of darkness, illuminating the path forward and revealing what was once obscured. Physically, light is the antidote to darkness. Wherever light penetrates, darkness retreats. This fundamental principle of physics underscores the importance of light in our understanding of the universe. From the gentle glow of a candle to the radiant brilliance of the sun, light banishes shadows and brings clarity to our surroundings. Without light, the world would be shrouded in perpetual obscurity, devoid of form and definition. Metaphorically, light symbolizes knowledge, enlightenment, and understanding. Just as light reveals the physical world, it also illuminates the realms of thought and consciousness. When faced with ignorance, prejudice, or confusion, it is through the light of education, empathy, and introspection that we dispel the darkness of misunderstanding and misconception. Like a beacon in the night, enlightenment guides us towards truth and fosters unity amidst diversity. Moreover, light serves as a beacon of hope in the darkest of times. In moments of despair and adversity, it is the flicker of optimism, the warmth of human kindness, that pierces through the gloom and offers solace to weary souls. Even the smallest acts of compassion and courage can ignite a flame of hope that transcends the shadows of despair, inspiring others to persevere and strive for a brighter tomorrow. I once painted a small picture with $1 watercolor paint with this wish in mind. And I was happy to be able to check the temperature and atmosphere created by the watercolor paint during the time this painting was completed. This feeling of happiness was conveyed and it became the most popular picture among my Pinterest pins. And I think that I want to continue drawing light that overcomes darkness like this candle.
Preparation for the Surrounded by Water.Preparation for the Surrounded by Water. This is an open call exhibition at Mills pond Gallery. I decided to draw the sea for this exhibition. And to get ideas, I selected photos that fit this exhibition among the photos I took. From ponds, streams, bays to the ocean, Long Island's waters have long offered endless possibilities for artists to find their muse. We invite artists to submit work that will spark memories and curiosity about our beautiful Long Island waters, and inspire gallery visitors to learn about our relationship with water, which shapes nearly every aspect of our lives, and how we must all work to protect it. Inspires you to reflect! This exhibition does not seem to require that it be just as beautiful as a landscape painting. Behind the elegance, this is a message about nature that we must work hard to protect and protect. I decided to participate in this open call because, more than anything, I could give this message.
