Savoury Clafoutis

Jan of the Low Carb Diabetic featured a savoury cherry tomato and cheese clafoutis on a recent post. Here is the recipe. I used a pint of cherry tomatoes and 2 cups of cubed old white cheddar cheese in mine.  It's delicious on a slice of bread or even just eaten on its own perhaps with a salad.  Thanks Jan!

After all the Oscar buzz I would really like to see the movie Moonlight now.  Here is a write-up about the author.

Nifty Repair Work

My friend S and I were out for a spring like walk last week and we noticed some nifty repair work in the neighbourhood!

Thinking Outside of the Box

There was an interesting article in the newspaper recently that I wanted to share with you.  The University of Toronto has a library containing very rare books which were being destroyed over time by condensation.  The problem was put to some first year students after being told by the experts that the only solution might be to move the delicate books and insulate the building properly.  The first year engineering students put forth the idea of coating the building with insulation from the outside!  The library has chosen to implement an altered version of their plan.  This is truly thinking outside of the box!

Paint Party Friday - Reflection

Autoshow 2017

Son K, husband M and I were at the 2017 Autoshow recently, we like to go every year to see what's new. I seem to have taken lots of blue cars for some reason. I did enter a contest to win a free Toyota and was happy not to have entered more. They do tend to bombard your email afterwards.
