Shingles, a Patio Door and Eggs benedict!

It's amazing to see how much can happen in a week! The construction has been going well. We now have the front of the house matching the existing house. There are new shingles on the roof. The patio door has been installed. There has been a bunch more interior framing done! And that's all in just this week. Ben and I go up into the addition at least once a day to see what's all happening, and it's fun because it's getting easier and easier to picture what the finished product will look like.








I love watching our neighbours. I think that we are the talk of the neighbourhood. Every time someone walks by, they walk by slowly and they look at the addition the entire time. I would love to know what they are all thinking about what we are doing!! One of our neighbours stopped by and told us that we need to have an open house when the construction is all done so that everyone can see how it looks!! Ben and I thought that was a great idea, so I'll keep everyone posted, but we will be having an open house to show off our new bed and breakfast.


Last week Wednesday I made eggs Benedict for a couple of friends, Ben and myself. I was pretty nervous about making this one. It's one of those meals that I have just never made, so I thought that it was really complicated! However it wasn't so bad. I discovered that the trick to making a poached egg so that it doesn't explode all over the pan, is that you just add a little bit of white vinegar. Who knew?!? Somehow that keeps all of the egg in tact and still looking good when you put it on a plate to serve someone. And as for the hollandaise sauce, it was delicious, if I do say so myself. However I can't take full credit for that one, I do have to thank clubhouse spices. They sure do make a good base to work from!! All in all the recipe that I used worked out really well and I will definitely be adding that to our menu for our bed and breakfast. I unfortunately forgot to take some pictures of the eggs Benedict, so you'll just have to use your imagination as to how wonderful it looked!
