A good friend had come by for a masked walk and a backyard coffee to pre-celebrate my June birthday.
And here we are at the end of June!
preheat the oven to 350F (I have a hot old oven)
six 4" ramekin bowls
1/2 tbs butter
2 c sliced cooked mushrooms
3/4c milk
salt
pepper
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 c shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
butter the ramekin bowls
whisk 6 eggs in a bowl with milk, salt, pepper, oregano
build each ramekin bowl with mushrooms, shredded cheese and an equal amount of egg mixture poured over top
Place the ramekins on a tray lined with parchment paper. Bake 20 mins at 350F until cooked. Mine slid easily from the bowls.

I thought of bungee jumping and here is my ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2"). It is not something I would ever willingly try, even in my younger days, how about you? Or maybe you already have.
We received these free samples of Olay RETINOL24 serum and moisturizer products via a mail in offer. The serum is more liquid, the moisturizer is more creamy apparently. We are meant to choose one of them and add it to our nightly routine. Retinol is a form of Vitamin A which smoothes wrinkles and brigthens skin. It can't hurt to try them anyway.
It is my birthday today, and welcome to summer! I think summer technically came in yesterday this year.
A friend asked for an autobody repair shop referral. Husband M remembered a place we used within the last 5 years but unfortunately he threw out the receipts a few weeks ago when he was decluttering. He knew the location but not the name of the business, but doing a quick search on Google maps produced excellent results. My friend said TQVM which translates to 'Thank You Very Much!'
I just used a bottle of teriyaki sauce I bought from the grocery store. Days later, I bought some boneless skinless chicken thighs for this recipe, it was even easier, no need to debone the thighs. However I think cooking with the skins imparts extra flavour, even if you don't end up eating the skins. Many people say that, but until you try it yourself, you may never realize it is true.
Yield to any vehicles already in the roundabout. Use your turn signals which are now mandatory.
I lamented the recent passing of crooner BJ Thomas at age 78. He was diagnosed with lung cancer in March and died May 29, 2021. It made me realize that when your time comes, that's it. You can try your best to live a healthy, safe life, but we have to accept whatever our fate decides.
On another topic, I recently learned that cooking recipes are not copyrighted like art, even the slightest change to a recipe makes it new.
I read this interesting story, about a hardworking waitress who won $5 million dollars in the lottery. I was struck by how well she used the money.
She was a 61 year old single mother of 2 sons. She paid the boys' mortgages off on condition that they keep working. She also gave to a favourite charity. Then she bought this cottage up north for $355,000 in 1996. It was well enjoyed and 25 years later, now 86 she decided it was time to sell. The highest bid for the cottage was $2.55 million! She will share the money with her boys and their families. Her boys are lucky to have such a smart hardworking mom and they know it.
