FFO Aquafaba

 

 Welcome To Friday Face OFF (FFO)

This is the place to show off your faces or your face. Post any type of face from any medium. You can create it, or find it in nature, or even that face in the design of the
woodwork in your house. 
Human, animal, alien, or monster. 
ANY KIND OF FACE!
 
Before I get into FFO I want to remind you of the blog posts I wrote years ago on Aquafaba. It is an egg replacement. Aquafaba is the juice from chick peas/garbanzo beans. You can us canned or make your own with dried beans. I watched a fabulous video on how to maximize the aquafaba. 
This video tells you how to do it. 
3 tablespoons un-whipped = 1 egg.
2 tablespoons un-whipped = 1 egg white.
Whipped aquafaba can be used in baking, to make mayo, meringue, ice cream, chocolate mousse and a host of other goodies. Look it up on google. 
Aquafaba will last 5 days in your fridge. 
To make it last longer you can freeze it. 
 
Now for FFO
Lots of traveling this week so getting in the art room wasn't possible. I do have some AI art to share with you.
 
 
 

I need this in my kitchen. 
 
Let's see some features.

Don't forget to link up with Gillena

That's it for today, now it's time to show me your face.

Thanks for the aquafaba reminder. I have some in the freezer but hadn't got around to using it.

Gene Black said...

The Trees with Faces are quite intriguing.
I tried using aquafaba once but I never could get it to beat up into a meringue.

Interesting AI works

Iris Flavia said...

I am glad eggs are still normal-price here, just got twelve yesterday.
Love the AI-art! To time to make art yourself again!

I always love the whacky unique faces you created

Rostrose said...

Fascinating, dear Nicole, what you can do with aquafaba! I've never heard of it.
Your AI "tree nymphs" are wonderful! The enormous roots remind me of trees that we saw in the rainforest of Costa Rica - you could really see all sorts of things (including long, flowing hair) in them... And the heads that are higher up on the tree trunks remind me of the Thai Buddha that we photographed in Ayutthaya: The head of the Buddha statue is "encircled" by the roots of a banyan tree... look here (in the 5th collage): https://rostrose.blogspot.com/2018/07/thailand-reisebericht-teil-4-ayutthaya.html
All the best, Traude

It’s amazing to me just how often you can find a face on a real tree. You just have to look.

Valerie-Jael said...

Those tree ladies are magnificent! Have a great weekend, hugs!

Those trees are amazing. And I remember your aquafaba posts too. But it's a great time to repost them. Have a super weekend. hugs-Erika

...I just had my two eggs over easy. At $4.45/doz, I can still treat myself.

Violetta said...

Always astonishing what AI can do....but, as I told you, I don´t like AI though it looks very good....I prefer the own creativity. Have a good time and all the best

Jeanie said...

There are loads of fun faces here! Thanks for including me in your features, too!

Thanks for the aquafaba reminder, Nicole. I haven't bought eggs in about six weeks. We chose not to eat them at home in Waikiki, but I'll probably cave once we're home in Aurora. Your AI images are fascinating. I hope you get to slow down this week.
