Thursday morning I received an email suggesting I should go where the wild things are and including details of all kinds of trips. Look at the price of this one. It suddenly hit me that these people who go to Africa to shoot animals have to start off paying this kind of money to get there in the first place and they then pay a small fortune to legally shoot animals (I am not talking poachers here) but people like the dentist who shot Cecil the lion. I then proceeded to think why would anyone, however rich, want to spend all that money just to shoot a beautiful wild animal? What bugs me too, I couldn't even begin to think of getting there for financial reasons and yet they squander all this money to go on a killing spree. I must admit, thinking of the dentist, I didn't know they made that kind of money. I do know, from recent experience, that dentistry is expensive, but.....Bowling went pretty well today even though I was beaten twice. Matt decided to bowl really well today too. I just hope I can keep this up when we start our league play next Monday. There was one point this afternoon that we were the only people in the alley apart from the owner. Seemed very odd. The Thursday league (which I call The Ladies from Ayr) doesn't start til next week. Sept. 14 which is the birthday of someone I know quite well.
Irma still seems to be heading for Miami or a bit south. I am so glad we are not there any more. It occurred to me that Matt's granddaughter who has been cruising up and down from New Jersey to the Bahamas (I think) must be pleased to be back in the UK right now. Things are really in a mess in that part of the world with the Texas coast having been devastated and now the Florida coast about to be ravaged. Nobody has even mentioned the hurricane which has just gone in to Mexico - this was Katia and I haven't really heard much it.
This recipe is from Mushrooms Canada and is well worth taking note of.
Caprese Baked Egg Cups
Butter, for greasing
12 eggs
½ cup button mushrooms, sliced
½ cup cherry tomatoes, sliced into quarters
½ cup bocconcini cheese pearls, cut in half
½ cup fresh chopped basil
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Prepare veggies, and grease muffin tins with a generous amount of butter so that egg cups don’t stick. Crack eggs into each muffin cup.
3. Divide veggies evenly among muffin tins, then season with salt and pepper.
4. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until yolks are just set. Cook closer to the 15 minute mark if you like your yolks semi-hard.
5. Serve and enjoy! To re-heat, microwave two at a time for 1 minute.
