... is a TV show. But last night , here , in the Golden Horseshoe ( oh, another name for the region bounded by the cities of Niagara Falls , Hamilton and T.O. probably as far as Oshawa on the shores of Western L . Ontario. ) the storm front hammered the area.
Reported funnel clouds , dropping down , strong winds and rain. Hydro lines went down under tree limbs etc.
W/ some trepidation on M's part , I started forth at 7: 30 Pm , for a poker game well north of the city ( 25 Km ). Spatters of rain hit the windshield and blue skies popped out with clear air. Right , blew right past us in a hurry.
Didn't matter , I lost at cards anyway. C'est La Vie
Our A/C seems to be hanging in ( XXX fingers ). However , the water on the floor that I thought came from the A/C sweat , may originate from the water heater ( oh yeah ,everything breaks at once ). We've seen that water before but thought the A/C was the culprit.
The royal baby is becoming a downer. Kate was supposed to deliver , soon. The paparazzi started early outside the hospital and have now run out of all their material. Come , baby , come is the cry.
This afternoon is clafoutis time. Clafoutis is a dessert / or breakfast
fruit custard. The recipe that I found called for blueberries and raspberries. I wanted fresh fruit so when I saw the blackberries on sale , I grabbed them. Thus, we will have blackberry clafoutis ( this is not the phone but blackberry as in the fruit ).
Clafoutis , hails from the Limousin region of France. Limousin is also , famous for those cars that rich people are driven around in.
You can use any fruit and serve the clafoutis dolloped w/ creme frais and beer in the aft or evening or w/out beer for brekkies. Me , I'm thinking clafoutis and milk as a drink. Or clafoutis served w/ French vanilla yoghurt.
Report to follow.
Weather as we speak , clear / sunny and cool - ish , I think.
4 days of seasonal or sub seasonal temps. A little rain in 2 days.
