Balconies, Bowling, Weather,

I totally forgot to mention that our balcony has now been painted both top (roof) and bottom (floor). The did the first floor coat on Tuesday, whilst we were out shopping and I wasn`t too happy to see a lump of something or other under the paint. I hoped they would fix that with the second coat. I am very glad to say they did. Looking good. Now all we have to wait for is the railings. Wonder how long that will take. Been meaning to check where they have been installing them out back and see how far they have got.

Thursday bowling, Matt won 2 games out of the three. However, in the middle game I bowled a 207 which I was very please with. Now all I need to do is bowl that kind of game all the time, especially during league play. Easy, right?

Can't believe this weather although I am glad it is good. It did get colder the other day but now it is bright and sunny. Had to have the air on in the car.  Great for the workmen of course.

Here are the omelets mentioned in yesterday`s blog. I forgot to get any Ricotta so haven't made them yet and have run out of tomatoes. Problems, problems LOL.

Ricotta Omelets

This also makes a great dinner for one; just cut the ingredients in half.

2 Tbs unsalted butter, divided
4 large eggs, beaten to blend, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
4 Tbs ricotta, divided
2 Tbs grated Parmesan, divided
2 Tbs chopped fresh basil, divided
1 Tbs chopped fresh chives, divided
Cherry Tomato Vinaigrette (Recipe yesterday)

1. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season eggs with salt and pepper.

2. Add half of eggs to skillet. Cook eggs, stirring gently with a heatproof silicone spatula, until eggs are lightly scrambled and almost cooked, about 3 minutes. Spread eggs evenly to cover bottom of skillet.

3. Top eggs with half of ricotta, Parmesan, basil, and chives. Using spatula, fold up one-third of omelet. Roll omelet over onto itself, then slide omelet onto a plate. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make a second omelet. Top with Cherry Tomato Vinaigrette

Servings: 2

  1. Hopefully the nice weather here will allow the road crews to finish their work. I would hate to have to go through the winter with road closures around here. With all the lakes it is hard enough to get around without construction. Here's hoping your bowling stays in the stratosphere of scores.

  3. Sounds like bowling is going well. I bowled this summer and did great one game and horrible the next. I tried to throw the bar with more oomph and hurt my shoulder. I should have stuck with my original slow roll.

    1. Definitely Liz, those balls are damned heavy. I have used an 8 pounder and it was too heavy. Come to Canada and take up 5 pin LOL.

  4. Got so cold here the other day that the heat was on and then, the last few days, sunny, bright, and I hung the bedding outside.

    Love it.

    1. Same here Ivy. We had the heat on the other day and today the sun is pouring in the windows and we have the A/C on. It was 80 in here when I got back from exercise class.

  5. A lump under the paint? The mind boggles as to what it was.

    1. Not really Pinky, it looked like a bit of concrete or a bit of wood. Just not been properly swept off before they painted.

  6. At least you have some progress with the balcony. Fingers crossed they get on with the railing soon.

    1. The Super and the Asst. Super (who is overseeing the job) both assure me it will be done this year Helen.
