LIMINAL SPACE: AUTO REFRACTOR IMAGES
Do you remember these?
Watched this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwIfQd3RRYs) about the origins of auto refractor images at the optometrist. Random but super fascinating and a beautiful example of liminal spaces! The balloon is my favorite.
Also pretty cool that the barn image is based off a real place called Manchester Farm in Kentucky. You learn something new everyday ✨

I’ve only seen the balloon. I didn’t know I was missing out!

@BEE1000 right!!? Its a whole genre of art. Someone from Brazil on Reddit said that they haven’t seen any of these but rather an image of a lake/ocean with a sailboat at the end! Curious how this differs across the world

CRISPY SOY GLAZED TOFU W VEGGIE NOODLES
Always a good comfort meal! The tofu is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside once I’ve pan fried it. I like to use tofu that’s been frozen to perfectly remove moisture + the flavor seeps through much better.
For the noodles, I use Trader Joe’s squiggly knife cut noodles but add to the sesame based sauce with peanut butter, etc.

ACRYLIC & WATERCOLOR PANTINGS
My mom learnt how to paint after watching online tutorials! It’s so cute when she sends photos of these in our group chat. She loves landscapes and abstract; some of my favorites (Lavender field, northern lights, bubbles, rose bouquet, and a villa entrance) ✨

SUNDAY SMOOTHIES
Local family owned coffee shops are the best and we’ve made it our Sunday morning tradition. This one’s drinks menu rotates monthly and they have seasonal specials with fun names.
I got the July beach bum smoothie with pina colada, margarita and a milk base. The spinach and feta pie was 10/10 too.
