A Vintage Find

Posted on April 27, 2012 by Katherines Corner

Many of you know that I have a shop on etsy, well two actually. In my Keepsakes By Katherine shop I sell vintage jewelry among other things. I am always on the look out for wonderful vintage jewelry, preferably with pearls and rhinestones. Today I am sharing this amazing SCORE with you! It’s a Sarah Coventry brooch, with an Art Deco design. I hope it will make someone as happy to own it as I was to discover it.

Sarah Coventry jewelry has had a variety of designs over the years. The designers at Sarah Coventry used to find their inspiration from styles and fashions of the Victorian Era and geometric lines from the Art Deco period. Just sharing a tid bit of info

As long as I am writing about vintage jewelry I thought it would be the perfect time to mention that I won a giveaway recently at Sarahs’ blog Hope In Every Season. No, not to brag about winning… But to share the sweet pillow she made. It is embellished with a lovely vintage pin! The pillow now rests happily in a corner chair in my art room. Along with the lovely pillow came some of her delicious toffee. It was a big hit with my wonderful hubby ( I can’t eat sugar) I can tell you it is going fast!

Thank you again Sarah. for everything!

Do you like vintage jewelry?

Meals On Monday Eggplant Fries or Zucchini Fries

Posted on April 23, 2012 by Katherines Corner

It’s Meals on Monday and it’s meatless today! You are going to love this simple recipe. I make it with eggplant (or zucchini.) So I hope you will try both ways. Enjoy!

What You Need

1 Eggplant ( or you can use 4 small or two large zucchini)

1 Cup flour

1 Cup Italian bread crumbs

1 tsp. Garlic powder

1/2 tsp. pepper

1 Egg

1 Cup milk

1 Tbsp. olive oil

1 Cup olive oil (not extra virgin)

Nonstick skillet

Draining rack (cooling rack)

Plate or tray lined with paper towels (to place under the draining rack)

2 Pie plates (or shallow dishes with edges)

Sifter

Slotted spoon

Large bowl

Grated Parmesan cheese (optional for topping)

Ranch dressing (optional for dipping)

Marinara sauce (optional for dipping)

Before You Start : Wash and peel the eggplant or zucchini and cut into French fry like strips, place a tray lined with a paper towel under the draining rack.

Lets Make It! In a bowl sift flour, garlic powder salt and pepper together. In a pie plate combine egg, milk and 1 Tbsp of olive oil and whisk together. Pour bread crumbs into the second pie plate. You are making an assembly line. Heat olive oil in nonstick skillet on medium high heat. Roll eggplant (or zucchini ) pieces in flour mixture to coat. Then dip into the egg mixture, and then roll in the bread crumbs. Place carefully place each one into hot oil and fry until golden (about 4-6 minutes) turning often to cook evenly. Using a slotted spoon carefully remove from hot oil and place on the cooling rack. Sprinkle with more salt, or grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Continue this process until they are all cooked. Serve with marinara sauce, ranch dressing or nothing at all ( that’s how I eat them)

Serves 2-4
