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.

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.

Squeezing a Lemon

My friend Beverly found this jadeit reamer to replace my broken clear glass one and gave it to me

A Recurring Theme

Popcorn. I like it. My sister does not.

My parents used to buy bags of Strawberry Popcorn Kernels and give them to us.

In Durand, Illinois. It was not strawberry flavored but red kernels like these pictured below.

I don’t care for microwave popcorn. I bought these two types at Soergel Orchards

Gourmet Red or Ladyfinger Petite
Popcorn, apples and a cup of milk used to be Sunday Night suppers after a large midday meal after church.

I did not split, toast and butter as recommended. Maybe tomorrow morning

It’s a short season. They remind me of childhood. These were purchased at FreshMarket this morning.

Take Your Pick

Sourdough Banana Bread

My granddaughter Maura baked Sourdough Banana Bread last week and sent a picture. I’d given her some sourdough starter a couple of weeks ago.

I felt inspired to try and bake it myself. Needed just 3 ripe bananas.

These little glass muffin cups held the leftover batter from the larger loaf.

Here’s the recipe I used. It was really good

Mine didn’t get that deep golden color

Slices of Rye Eyes

I bought a loaf of marble rye at the Bryant Street market this morning. When I went to make a sandwich with a couple of slices, they were staring at me.

A Two Loaf Morning

I’m trying to get into the Sourdough baking rhythm/routine.

These loaves were recipes from a cookbook I took out of the library

Classic Sourdoughs

Next time I’m not going to do two different recipes simultaneously.
