I'm very excited to introduce my new online print shop - Claudia True's Art Prints. Now you're able to purchase museum quality prints of your favorite art at affordable prices. You also may choose the size and the medium that the art is printed on - canvas, paper or metal (a very contemporary look). Pretty exciting, huh!  The art is divided into categories. This popular little dachshund is the cover for the collection of Holiday Art. Chinese New Year is February 16 - 2018 is the Year of the Dog! With prints you can afford to change your art for the holidays! Of course this little fella could hang in your home all year long and make you happy. "Year of the Dog" - Holiday Art Why did I love this print store - and think you will, too?
Categories of art in Claudia True's art print store. As I write this, I have 7 categories of art available:
"Potter's Goat" - Critter Club  Tomorrow I'm adding a new category - Faces. One of my art goals in 2018 is to learn to paint whimsical portraits. If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you've seen some of these characters that I'm creating almost daily. I'm adding a few for prints. If you see one you like that's not included, please contact me and I'll add it. It's SO fun and exciting to learn something new and to see how these faces will evolve! "Abigail the Librarian" - Faces I mentioned the fun Wall Preview feature of this online print shop. Here's the deal - in the ordering process, you select a print and can see how it looks at different sizes in different rooms. This really helps decide on a size - here's an example

Happy shopping - Claudia True p.s. my originals are on my website - www.claudiatrue.com Happy shopping there, too. Day 9 of recipes for the holidays - one from each of the 10 years of Cooking with Friends calendars. I hope you find something that looks delicious to make. Who knows - it might become a family favorite! Cooking with Friends, 2017 Does anyone have eggnog except at Christmas? It's pretty tasty and definitely a holiday drink. This version has quite a kick, too - sure to make you smile. Why the flamingo? When I "paint recipes" I also paint their stories and something about my friends who share them. Our Bakersfield, Ca fiends Kay and Brian Pitts were known for their flock of pink plastic flamingos in their beautiful front yard. So, I thought of a tropical Christmas scene featuring a pink flamingo! Brian shared a story of making eggnog for a group of AAUW members at a progressive holiday brunch. The group was greeted by a yard full of flamingos. Needless to say, they left laughing and happy after Brian's Noël Nog!

In heavy-bottomed saucepan, beat together the eggs and sugar. Sir in half-and-half. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick enough to coat a metal spoon and is at least 160 degrees. Remove from heat. Stir in cream, nutmeg, vanilla, bourbon and brandy. Cool, then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Just before serving, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, then fold them into the eggnog. You may add a little sugar and dash of vanilla extract to the egg whites when beating. Serve cold and sprinkle with nutmeg Brian's Note Over the years I began to use Jack Daniels Tennessee whiskey as the bourbon in varying ratios to the brandy. The smoky flavor from Jack Daniels adds a flavor element that our friends seem to enjoy. Also, I have used half-and-half instead of heavy cream and it is still delicious! Here are the front and back covers of the 2017 Cooking with Friends calendar. Be sure to check the back cover to see my friends who shared their recipes. I hope you've kept all these calendars! They're my favorite cookbook, and the art's pretty cool too.
This is the 9th holiday recipe I've shared with you in this blog series. Hope you found something to cook and enjoy with your family and friends!
