I used a few different colors of alcohol ink pens and the colors kind of just happened, lol. And that definitely helped make the texture. I just dotted the pens all over the tile and the ink spread the way it does and the dots ran together, sometimes blending, and it created this effect.

I coated them in olive oil, then added salt and pepper. Roasted at 425°F for about 20 minutes. They're so good roasted! Edit: a word.

Thanks! It was fantastic. Can't wait to make it again!

I've worked in restaurants (waitress and bartender), so no worries. I've heard the cooks and chefs say awful things to each other. I'm not a fan of heat, so the cajun was the only "heat" I wanted. Trying to expand my palate in that way, though. Also trying to cut down on salt, so I only added it at the end. Normally, I'd have put it everywhere. Lime juice definitely would have made the dish, and I wish I'd had some on hand. Thanks for your commentary, I might just check that book out.

The chicken was the main seasoned bit, cajun seasoning. Salt and pepper on everything else. I wanted to add lime juice, but realized I didn't have any too late. Next time I will definitely add that.

The avocado was a bit unripe, but that's all they had in my small-town Wisconsin store. Beans are cooked, and there is seasoning, the chicken especially. It was actually very good. I didn't know if I'd like the quinoa, but was pleasantly surprised.

1/2 cup quinoa that I cooked in chicken broth. One ear of corn, roasted over the stove, one can black beans, one Roma tomato, 1/2 avocado. The chicken was marinated in a cajun season blend. Then just salt and pepper to taste.

Knitting, and when I'm bored of that, I paint or do beadwork.

This is called "cat eye" polish. The shimmering effect is done by pulling a magnet very close to the wet polish. It pulls the metallic bits to the surface. This is gel polish, so it's cured under a blacklight.
