Zoomer Show Toronto

We went to the Zoomer Show in Toronto on Saturday, it caters to people 45+.  Had free tickets, so figured it would be interesting, which it was.  The Canada Revenue Agency was there and we had a couple of questions regarding dh's pension.  I think I got more sense out of the chair they were sitting on!!  Talk about evasive........whatever!!

Had a free 15 minute Reiki session.  I am not sure what to say about that other than her hands were hot.  Did it work???  Who knows........I kept getting distracted about what was going on around me!!  If anyone is an expert with Reiki please enlighten me, as I don't get it?

Anyhow here are some photos from the show:

Loved this tea towel but it was $15 which I thought was expensive.

Not sure which t-shirt would have been perfect for dh..........thinking maybe the bottom one😋

I would have got the grandkids one of these if they came in children's sizes

This was also a cute tea towel.

Zoomer radio was broadcasting, you can listen to it here.

I so need this apron...........just in case it's not clear it does say FECK OFF!!!

 This was our lunch, cost $11.25 for those from the British stall. Were not as good as I remember?

Dh thought we should have a rest and relax here!!

Glad we got in for free, it was an okay show and put in a few hours on a wet Saturday afternoon.

We are member's of CARP and also receive the Zoomer magazine and think it's a good deal.

Couple of "recipes,"

I made Scotch Eggs for supper on Monday night.  They were so good, I must make them more often, as they were so simple to make.

To make them you need:

Hard Boiled Eggs
Sausage or sausage meat
1 egg, beaten
Seasoned flour
Either breadcrumbs or coating of your choice

Peel hard boiled eggs. If using sausages take them out of the casings.  Then wrap the eggs with the sausage meat.  I used breakfast sausages and needed three per boiled egg.  You can add any type of seasoning you want to the sausage meat.  As I like "plain" food, I am happy as is.

I put mine back into the fridge to firm them up.  When ready to cook them, roll in seasoned flour, dip in the egg and then toss them in breadcrumbs or coating.  I used a package of Shake and Bake. (One scotch egg looks different from the other; far right, as I used different sausages on that one)

I placed them on a tray covered with tin foil and then parchment paper; easy clean up!  Cook at 375 oF for around 45 minutes, turning them over half way through.  They are as good cold as they are hot.  Dh will be having one in his lunch every day as well.

We had one with roasted potato wedges, that cooked at the same time and coleslaw.  It was a yummy supper.

For afters I had stewed some rhubarb, made some custard and topped it all with a little strawberry yogurt.  That was good also and there was enough left over to have it for tonight's dessert cold.

Rhubarb and custard was something we had as kids.  That along with Scotch Eggs are very British.

If you have recently signed up to be a follower of my blog, I thank you.  I should have thanked you when you signed up, but I am terrible at forgetting that.  For those of you who have been following me for ages, thank you for hanging in there!!  You all deserve a medal for listening to me generally whine on about everyday life.
