Egg ‘Noodles’ with Mushroom Sauce; state of the pool

I know the world loves using spaghetti squash in place of pasta to avoid ‘carbs’ but these are quicker and easier: just noodles made from eggs with a bit of flour.

We actually like carbs, especially pasta, but, we have this as a first course, and even we don’t do more than one carb for dinner.

You could, of course, make more of the noodles and have it for lunch or dinner. They actually stand up quite well to a medium-weight sauce.

The flour adds ‘body’. You could use cornstarch in place of the flour, or skip it completely if you are eating gluten-free.

There was a lot of progress on the pool deck this week:

The framing was finished for the second level of the deck. This will be the biggest space.

Then he did the stairs connecting these two levels.

We now have stairs leading nowhere that one can’t get to from anywhere….

But, once on the pool level deck he can now go up the stairs to lay the floor on the next deck,

Disregard the dead petunia in the corner.

It’s been dry here – and time for the summer flowers to hit the compost.
