We had a problem with our hall lights, we have a longish hall in our apartment. Called the Super, he couldn't fix it, he sent for the electricians. One of them arrived at 8:45 a.m. (embarrassing, still in my nightdress - you'd think they would have been courteous enough to let us know) and removed both lights and installed LEDs. Boy are they ever bright. Almost like daylight. Not sure I actually like it but I guess we will get used to it. I think our new lights may be even flatter than this one.
Monday bowling, the last one that counted, was terrible. Two of our team bowled ahead so it was just Matt and I. He bowled better than I did.
I washed some mushrooms one morning and then had noodles for lunch - I had intended spaghetti with mushrooms for supper but figured I shouldn't have 2 lots of pasta. I then Googled for how to
store washed mushrooms. Everything said don't wash them til you want to use them, yes, I know that, but what if you do what I did? No help at all. Next day: I put the washed mushrooms into a plastic bowl with a piece of paper towel pushed down onto them and then put them in the fridge. I am now in a position to tell you that they survived in perfect condition and were very tasty when used. Which now makes me wonder, why do they always say you mustn't wash mushrooms until you are ready to use them. Maybe one day I will wash some more and see just how long they keep in usable condition.
This morning, Thursday, Matt is having his skin cancer attended to. Keep your fingers crossed please.
I decided to make some coleslaw the other day, haven't done so in a while. I like my coleslaw very crispy, crunchy. I have had coleslaws that are really soft and to me not a bit enjoyable. This recipe is one I got from a friend in the US many years ago. It's a very simple recipe but one we both enjoy. I used red pepper as I didn't have green.
