It feels like my skin is melting off of me. Yesterday it was a blistering +34. That does not include the humidex which probably had us up over +40. Today it's not too bad, we are sitting at +29. The inside of my house is a lot hotter than that though.
I'm not bitching though, I really do enjoy this hot weather. Last summer it was horrible for me because I was pregnant, but I am not with child this year, so I get to enjoy the heat.
You will probably think that I am a fool to use the oven in this hot weather, but I can't turn down a good food dish, so this is what is cooking as I sit here typing. Incredible Broccoli Pie.
You will need..
cooking spray
125 mL (1/2 cup) green onions, chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
375 mL (1 ½ cups) broccoli, cooked, chopped 
125 mL (1/2 cup) low fat cottage cheese
6 eggs
125 mL (1/2 cup) milk
125 mL (1/2 cup) variety baking mix
To taste salt and pepper
15 mL (1 tbsp) goat cheese, crumbled (or light cream cheese)
15 mL (1 tbsp) parmesan cheese, grated
Spray a 23 cm (9-inch) pie plate with cooking spray. Set aside. Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat. Sauté green onions and garlic for 5 minutes or until transparent. Stir in broccoli. Layer broccoli mixture and cottage cheese in pie plate. Set aside. Whisk eggs with milk and baking mix; season with salt and pepper. Pour over cottage cheese mixture in pie plate. Sprinkle top with goat cheese and parmesan cheese. Bake in a 180°C (350°F) oven for 25 minutes or until a knife inserted near the centre comes out clean.
I finished the romance from below..'Night Storm'. I'm glad that I read it despite the bad reviews, because it was REALLY good. I have yet to start 'Reading Lolita in Tehran'. I tried to get into it, but I can't seem too. I'll read a few pages, then pick up a different book to read instead. I will finish it, but it will take me a while.
In the meantime I am re reading one of my all time favourite novels.
Promises by Charlotte Vale Allen. It's an older book from the 80's I believe, but still very good for todays standards. This will keep me occupied till my next shipment from Eharlequin gets here.
