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
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.
Chef Sam cut up the cucumbers without looking (on my Pennsylvania cutting board thanks Grandson Jack) to add to the salad.

And look at the homemade rolls he baked
My daughter-in-law brought this special paprika with her. I usually don’t use a lot of paprika except to sprinkle on Deviled Eggs. This is the best she told me.
What started out as vegetable Stroganoff became a vegetable stew and it was delicious.
How do you like peppers?
Another gift from the neighbor who had leftovers from a party.
I sautéed them in a bit of olive oil.
Stored them in a glass jar in the fridge overnight.
The next day I sautéed some baby Bella mushrooms and thin chicken breasts which I cut into strips. Got out the cast iron skillet for the flour tortillas! Delicious.
There are several versions of this saying “one bad apple can spoil the barrel”.
The remaining apples were fine in this case
Thursday’s supper. Capturing stills from videos.
My paternal grandmother, Mary Alta Hendricks’ recipe box. No fewer than five recipes for rolls. Lots of baking cakes. There are Crisp Pickle Chips, a few prize winners clipped from a newspaper one from 1950. I’ve posted some before but I like to touch and read them, find her friends’ names in pencil- Lucille Roberts, Ruth Kiest, Vesta.
Four years ago I posted about my friend Kristin’s husband Rick baking bread and showed her recipe box with a poem in the lid.
Today I’m sharing more of the contents as my friend Vincie suggested recipe cards after a post a couple of months asking if you still use cookbooks
I plan to bake the Orange Cake.
