a NEW taste Tuesday

Happy Tuesday!

So, a few days ago, my son brought me these eggs that his chickens recently graciously produced.  Aren’t they pretty?  Although the very day before he brought me these, I had made a Costco run and bought the big 5-dozen package.  Therefore, I need to make something that takes a LOT of eggs – right away.

Google to the rescue..:

This was a great article and while reading it, I learned something NEW! Am I the only one that didn’t know Pound Cake was called Pound Cake because it uses a pound of eggs (and a pound of flour, butter and sugar). I don’t know that I’ll make Pound Cake, but I think I’ll make a quiche, and I’ve always wanted to tackle Baked Alaska.

And! I learned you could freeze eggs. I never have.  Do they maintain a good consistency? I’m not so sure.  If anyone has used eggs that have been frozen, let me know how it turned out. Please and Thank you.

Have a great day! Do or learn something NEW!

 

 

misc Monday…NEW stuff i gotta share

summertime

Happy Monday!  Here’s my weird photo of the week.  Yes, I know it’s November, but this photo would be lost and forgotten about if I tried to keep it til next summer to post it.  So, there ya go. Random.Weirdness.Miscellaneous Monday!

Let’s see, here’s some more randomness:

I was doing some family history research lately and read about a Smock Wedding. (HERE’s another link that talks about it in The Encyclopedia of Superstitions). I learned something NEW!

What I’ve been listening to on my commutes:

Excellent writing!  BUT, I can’t believe I’m listening to this while in the midst of an election! Wowza, my timing couldn’t have been worse, because I’ve gotten enough of politics without choosing to read about it too!  Here is the snippet from Amazon: “Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, this classic book is generally regarded as the finest novel ever written on american politics. It describes the career of Willie Stark, a back-country lawyer whose idealism is overcome by his lust for power.”

I’d recommend it, just for the very good writing – but plan carefully (don’t read it in October/November! :o)

And lastly, since my backyard is covered in autumn leaves that need to be raked, I’ll share the superstitions I learned about autumn leaves:

I’m going out right now and try to catch a leaf to ward off any winter colds! Have a great day! Do or learn something NEW!

Happy Sunday! These autumn trees standing tall and standing together pairs perfectly with an awesome sermon by Sheri L. Dew.  This talk is called: “Stand Tall and Stand Together”…and it was a fabulous message! She says:

No woman is a more vibrant instrument in the hands of the Lord than a woman of God who is thrilled to be who she is.

But there is A LOT more terrific counsel in the talk.  Read and enjoy!

Here’s another message on the ‘Standing Tall’ theme:  You reach the greatest heights while on your knees.
