Summer League, Shrimp.VCR. Repair,

Today was Coffee Klatsche morning but I was involved in several things and couldn't make it. Then in the afternoon we had our first game of our Summer League. We are really crowded this year, lots more people playing. I bowled really, really well, I was thrilled to bits - unfortunately I was the only one on our team. Matt was not a happy camper at all and the other two team members weren't that pleased with themselves. I just hope I can bowl that well for the rest of the season.

One of the young men who own the alley has been very good to us over the last few months, first when Matt fell down the stairs, then when we had a flat tire he pumped it up for us, later I had a problem with gears which he also helped with. He is very keen on seafood, such as shrimp, so we decided to buy some as a gift. Went into the store this afternoon and much to my surprise they had a special on. 14 oz. bags of headed and peeled frozen shrimp for $6.99. That's an incredible price round here. Not only did I buy some as a present, I bought some for us as well. Now I can make that shrimp and asparagus dish I posted a couple of days ago.

Nearly forgot to mention, I have found a "guy" connected to a TV store who does repairs on VHS players - he says he will take a look at ours. Probably be later in the month. It is close to the lab where I am having tests done on the 25th.

This is one of my favourite recipes. Unfortunately I have never made it. Matt used to, and I am too scared of using Phyllo. I really need to get over this and get on with it.

Asparagus Phyllo Bundles

For one roll:
Phyllo - 1/2 sheet for 2 asparagus
2 stalks asparagus
Parmesan, grated

1. Brush phyllo with butter, sprinkle with Parmesan, place 2 asparagus in middle and roll. Place in baking dish, sprinkle more Parmesan and put in oven 375 F for 15 mins.

Yield: one roll:

  3. Hi Jo - that's great you are able to give him some shrimp ... it's always nice to give gifts people appreciate. Well done on the bowling ... and yes give Phyllo a go ... it's easy ... just undo roll ... take one sheet off put in dish ... brush with butter (that's what I do) - and then another sheet ... and brush with butter ... then add mix - I use spinach, cheeses etc ... and put more sheets on top - brush each with butter. ... Cut through a layer or two, sprinkle top sheet with cold water - bake at a reasonably high heat ... possibly for longer than you think ...

    I couldn't get these rolls to work satisfactorily for me ... but the combination can be used so easily in other ways ... enjoy! Cheers Hilary

    1. Sounds easy when you write it Hilary. Matt never had any trouble, dunno why I am scared of it, but I do love these rolls.
