The next #UskQuezonCity prompt for #Sketchtober2023 was ‘bread’ (for Day 6) and although I have recently draw the results of my bread making, I didn’t hesitate to draw this new loaf. After a few failures (rock hard or doughy loaves) I bought some new yeast and this was the solution. This loaf (the Kenwood recipe calls it ‘rustic white’) came out perfectly.

The next subject for #Sketchtober2023 from #UskQuezonCity (for the 5th October…as usual I am a few days behind) was ‘native product’. So this is definitely not an #UrbanSketch because I took these little dried fish out of the fridge to sketch. I think they are called Danggit…there are so many types of dried fish here, I lose track. I don’t eat them being a vegetarian…and frankly I wonder how much nourishment you can get from these little dried things as they are mostly skin and bone!

Following the #Sketchtober2023 prompts gives me a good excuse for sketching some fruit (the prompt for day 4). These are plantains – they taste a lot nicer than they look. I find they don’t go off as quickly as bananas (which they are related to)…but seem to be a lot higher in calories! I wasn’t careful where I put the plantains in this sketch, so had to put in more background than I usually do…but somehow I think it works.

My wife was given three boxes of these recently – I am happy to scoff them down as they are a delicious snack. If you don’t know what Hopia are, the internet describes them as a “popular bean-filled moon cake-like pastry, widely available as a inexpensive treat and gift”. These ones are have a mung bean filling.

Yesterdays #Inktober2020 prompt of “slippery” was relatively easy to follow – it didn’t take me long to think of something oily and then of olive oil. I used to think olive oil was healthy, but these days you see so much conflicting dietary advice online, it’s best just to ignore it and just have a good balanced and varied diet.
