Strikes and spares. It may take a bit to figure out how to score a game, but bowling is a sport you can pick up at any age—as long as you can pick up the ball. Especially with Ten pin bowling.
October is Learn to Bowl Month and chances are you're familiar with, and a fan of one or the other: Candlepin or Ten pin bowling.
If you're familiar with both, you probably favor what you grew up with.
Candlepin bowling, popular in the Northeast, uses three small hand balls, while Ten pin, more common across the country, uses a larger ball with three finger holes..
Scoring is slightly different for each style. Candlepin bowlers roll three balls to knock down the pins while Ten pin bowlers get two chances.
Bowling alleys for each rental shoes, offer jukebox music, plastic chairs arranged in half-circle benches. But that’s where the similarities end.
Where shoe rentals are the heel.
Bowl them over with your bowling knowledge with these resources:

THE REQUEST IS ALWAYS THE SAME ... birthday pie, not cake. This year he asked for apple pie.
If it was my choice, I'd go with mincemeat (the dried fruit version), but when it comes to making pie ... blueberry, pumpkin, or even cherry, it's the apple that gets my attention. It's the one overflowing with ingredients that can't be measured. The one that makes me think of my mum peeling ribbons of peel with each apple. And my grandmother, whose voice neared a whisper when she told me she used only half the white sugar measure, balancing it with half brown sugar—despite what the recipe called for. |
When I make the crust I think of my friend who is a baker. Her recipe includes a splash of vinegar. And another, who shared her mother's recipe. I thought it was a family tradition. It's not. Her mother got the recipe from her hairdresser. That recipe includes an egg.
I'd never added an egg to my pie crust. Yesterday I decided to give it a try. What a pie. The crust was flaky and tender and the filling as sweet as ever. The perfect blend of ingredients ... some that can be measured and so many others that can't. |

Why the name, Tinplate?
The first definition of tinplate I read wasTinplate is a thin layer of tin applied to steel or other metal to protect against rust and corrosion, and that, I believe, is what our hobbies, passions, and distractions do for us. They add a layer of wonder, curiosity, and respite between us and a sometimes hectic world.
