I heard about this method of cooking eggs so they don’t stick to the pan.
1. Heat your pan
2. Heat your fat (olive oil and butter)
3. Pour in beaten eggs (one minute video I filmed) click to watch
In 2011 I started a blog of Throwback Recipes. I didn’t check the dates to see how long I kept it up but it was short lived.
Here’s an example of a post. My mother’s Chocolate Pound Cake Recipe
Last week at the Community Center I saw an old cookbook on the “Free Table” so I brought it home and found a handwritten recipe and a newspaper clipping and had fun going through the pages. It was from Lake Charles. Louisiana first printing in 1965

The 4 women artists featured in the Carnegie International are:
Maya Lin: Known for her environmental works and memorials, including the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
Miriam Cahn: A Swiss artist recognized for her powerful paintings and drawings that address themes of gender and violence.
Mona Hatoum: A Palestinian-British artist whose work often explores themes of displacement and identity through various media.
Maja Bajević: A Bosnian artist whose installations and performances reflect on cultural identity and social issues.
This representation highlights ongoing discussions about gender equality in the art world, as noted by the Guerrilla Girls, who pointed out the historical underrepresentation of women artists in major exhibitions.
The Irish Design Center on Craig Street in Oakland neighborhood is a bit of Ireland in Pittsburgh.
Supporting small business by showcasing the highlights of the store!
I bought some Gooseberry Preserves and a sheep key ring, some Irish afternoon tea. A great place to shop for gifts.
Thanks for accompanying me as I browse through the store.
You just know there’s a story there.
April is National Poetry Month .
My friend Lisa and I went to hear a couple of our friends read their poems on Friday evening at the Shaler North Hills Public Library .
We even received a free houseplant (a jade plant) from poet Megan Tutolo. After the reading there were snacks and conversations with the poets. We enjoyed all of the readers. They each kept to a ten minute time limit.
Saturday I helped out with Sheep Shearing day at Flower Hill Fleeces Farm.
At the end of the day, I was given a dozen farm fresh eggs from their chickens. Thanks Jodi. You can let the eggs sit on the counter until you wash them. Then they need refrigeration. I washed two and put butter and olive oil in my omelet pan to fry them up.
Here’s the short video of them cooking. Look at those vibrant yolks.
They were delicious.

I received this fabulous photo and message from fellow blogger Darlene Foster. (You can click her name to visit her blog. )
Thank you for thinking of me, Darlene. International abandoned furniture made my day!
“It was on Calle Cerise in Orihuela Costa. Calle Cerise means Cherry Street in English. I was on my early morning dog walk when I saw this abandoned red couch by a garbage bin. I immediatly thought of Ruth and quickly snapped a picture while the dogs waited impatiently.” Darlene
Darlene Foster is the author of the Amanda Travel books series that my granddaughters enjoy reading. Prema especially loved Amanda on the Danube as they were living right next to the river
