Easy Egg Pan Clean Up

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

This is after the eggs are on the plate.
A pretty clean pan

Farm Fresh Eggs

Saturday I helped out with Sheep Shearing day at Flower Hill Fleeces Farm.

Skirting the fleece with Rachel
of **Tableten Podcast** fame.
It was chilly in the barn.

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.

We Await the Storm

Up to 14” of snow predicted. Hasn’t started yet. I went down to our neighborhood market and bought a few items.

Update Sunday 4:57 am the snow started in the night and I just heard from my friend Joanne who told me about Storm Chips

How storm chips became a bad-weather staple in Atlantic Canada

Here’s a photo of a bag of Storm Chips her friend Colleen just purchased in Nova Scotia as prep for this week’s weather.

The Gift of Farm Eggs

Saturday some Fiber friends and I helped out at a farm on Sheep Shearing Day. What a cool experience.

At the end of day, after a hearty meal I was given a dozen farm eggs to take home. They weren’t washed yet so could be left on the counter. What a great offering.

The taste of a farm egg is like no other. Delicious. So flavorful and rich.

My friend and I were at the skirting table picking out hay and debris from the fleece. All the lanolin was like a spa treatment even after you washed your hands.

**Boss Mare Shearing** made it look easy. It’s not.

Feeling Devilish? Guest Blog

Is it Devilled or Deviled? Who cares?

Either way you spell it, these hard boiled, then split-in-half eggs with the yolks scooped out and mashed, are frequently devoured with enthusiasm at a party. The 1800’s Housewife spells with two Ls and has a source for this question from this link at the Grammarist It depends upon where you live!

my friend Joanne’s deviled/devilled egg dish photos are below.

Joanne writes-

Do I have enough devilled egg dishes?

I do love them and have trouble passing by a devilled egg dish at a yard sale or antique shop…..I’ve collected these over the years and I do indeed make devilled eggs often. My friends ask/expect me to bring them any time a potluck event is planned. My favorite recipe comes from my original Betty Crocker (red plaid cover) cookbook from 1968 ….. the flavor comes from adding mustard and vinegar to the mayo. And I sprinkle mine with dill weed. My friend adds curry powder to hers. Of all of my dishes, I use the long white ceramic one the most.

Here is a link to a one minute video Classic Betty Crocker but I see they omitted the vinegar
