Bowling, Rain, As We Know It,

I had a lousy day bowling. Don't know what was wrong with me, a few aches and pains, but that is par for the course these days. I didn't throw one strike all day. Matt had two very good games though. Not only that, the owner wouldn't give me my money back LOL Funny really, a kid had been bowling using a ramp so when he and grandpa had gone I had a go at using the ramp. First and only try I got 11 points. Then went and started my real game and got 2. Matt, on the other hand, couldn't go wrong.

It has been raining all day so of course the balcony workmen haven't been around much at all. We haven't had a lot of rain for a while so it is good for the ground - the grass and trees at least, although out back we don't have too much grass any more. Thank goodness we have the park to look at.

I have finished proofing my Carrie Butler's book,As We Know It. What an excellent story. A really good disaster book as well as a delightful love story with a great twist at the end. When it is released in December, I can thoroughly recommend it.

This is full of Kraft products, of course, but it looked really edible to me!! Simple enough to make too.

Cheesy Buttery Puff

Move over, potatoes. Six simple ingredients blend and melt and puff up into an airy, delicious side.
Be sure and serve it hot.

10 RITZ Crackers, crushed (about 1/3 cup)
1/2 cup milk
1/4 lb (4 oz.) VELVEETA®, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 oz (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cubed
4 eggs, separated
3 Tbs chopped fresh chives

1. Heat oven to 375°F.

2. Spread cracker crumbs onto bottom of 9-inch square baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.

3. Microwave milk, VELVEETA and cream cheese in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1-1/2 min. or until cheeses are completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after each minute. Whisk egg yolks and chives until blended. Stir into VELVEETA mixture.

4. Beat egg whites in small bowl with mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form; gently stir into VELVEETA mixture. Pour into prepared dish.

5. Bake 20 to 25 min. or until top is puffed and golden brown. Serve immediately.

Servings: 6

Have a great day

    1. So was I Alex, I even had a drink of aiming fluid (wine) and it didn't work. A friend bowling on another lane found the same thing, it didn't help.

    1. LOL. They have a very advanced one at the alley where you met us in Swansboro, Diane. The owner is disabled and I think bought it more for himself than anyone. First one I ever saw.

  5. There's something very refreshing about a good dose of rain. It cleans the air and I love the smell of the nitrate released from the soil. We should be getting some today as well. Lovely looking puff!

    1. Never actually heard of nitric oxide whether it comes from the soil or the clouds Pinky. But the fresh air after rain is gorgeous.
