Coffee anyone ?

[Xerocles]

Coffee is on.
Beautiful day predicted. Need to pick up feed, get a few groceries and make something yummy for a family get together for tomorrow..only have 2 eggs... oh and a hay run.

Too bad you're not closer. I would sure hook you up with eggs. My 6 EEs are being real troopers. 6 eggs one day, 4 the next. Only a month ago it was a steady 6-a-day. Took 4 doz to my sister on Thanksgiving. Have 4 doz in the kitchen now. Eggs frozen. Eggs pickled. Can you dehydrate eggs? I need to do some "opposite" chicken math!

4. Gently drape the piece of turkey in one of the muffin cups so that it rests on the bottom and the sides of the tin to make a larger cup.
5. Carefully crack an egg and pour it into the turkey cup.
6. Add a little bit of sliced red onion, spinach, red pepper and cheese on top of the egg.

8. Put the muffin tin in the oven and bake until eggs are set and the whites are opaque, about 10 minutes for a runny yolk and closer to 15 minutes for a harder one. Keep in mind that the egg muffins will cook for a bit longer when you take it out of the oven.

A lot of Keto recipes use eggs and are waistline friendly. LOL

This recipe is NOT waistline friendly, but who cares? It is my great grandmother's recipe, handed down through the years. My Mother remembered getting eggnog at breakfast on Christmas morning, I was allowed Eggnog also as a child. As an adult I found it amusing that my practically non drinking parents allowed us kids to get sh!t faced on Eggnog on Christmas day. LOL LOL I watched my Grandmother making it and wrote it down. I make it with only half of the bourbon and it is just fine. Full strength it blows my head off, not much of a drinker here. Mamma Wall's Eggnog is a family tradition and I freely share her recipe with others so that they can start their own family tradition or just enjoy it. Feel free to copy and print it out.


Mamma Wall's Eggnog
12 eggs, separated
12 heaping tablespoons of sugar
12 shots of bourbon (I use 6)
1 half pint whipping cream
1 cup milk
Beat egg whites until stiff.
Beat whipping cream until stiff.
Beat egg yolks, add sugar 1 tablespoon at a time.
Continue beating egg yolks, slowly add bourbon 1 shot at a time. Beat egg yolk mixture thouroughly while
adding bourbon. The bourbon cooks the egg yolks-if you just dump the bourbon in you will get curdled eggs.
With a large spoon or spatula, fold the whipped cream into the egg yolk mixture. Then fold in the egg
whites. Stir in the milk.
Serve in cups with nutmeg or cinnamon sprinkled on top.

Puff Pancakes
melt 3 tb butter in two cake pans (or as I use medium size skillets)
then mix......
4 eggs
2/3 cup milk
2/3 cup flour
1 tsp of vanilla
split the batter between the two pans/tins and stick in the oven at 375*
I bake for 20 minutes for myself (they will collapse a little after you take them out at that time). If you like things crispier on the edge or would like them to hold their 'puff' for better presentation then bake them a bit longer. If I bake longer I turn the oven down to 325* for the last half. with some whipped cream and fresh fruit they make an outstanding and easy fancy breakfast.

thanks... got rid of the hens a few years back for room for the bunnies.... when we get over to the farm though I'm getting another flock....hoping they can free range a bit. As eggs can be as low as 0.50 a dozen at the local groceries, hard to justify feeding hens for that... but they just don't taste the same!

hey guys, promise you need chickens and maybe some ducks for when your baking their eggs are great in baking.

ok off topic but i don't handle being the center of attention well much less in a group setting... my church is hosting a baby shower for me and I am having all kinds of stress over this. i am grateful, i really dont like being in the spot light... they announced it in the church flier thing and then sent a call on the prayer chain... we not in a huge church but a couple hundred people and now I am just about to lose it... to many people i already know some who are going and i am just need to vent i guess i been having nightmares about it like i said crowds and i dont mix well. i prefer one on one interactions... i know i am being silly on this in some ways but ahhh hide me... just the possibility of more then 10 showing has me freaking out. last time they hosted one for me 15 women were there but they didn't really announce it to the whole church it was just the women's bible study that knew about it and that was hard enough for me to handle and they. all know how I am....

Good time to learn destress and calming stuff.

Some essential oils are good... I got some pills and powders from my local alternative medicine place to help calm me...

And then meditation or prayer. Just repeating "Lord have mercy" while focusing on breathing can really help.

And yeah...WAY easier to say than do.... my jaw is still tense...

59 degrees. Partly cloudy. 10% chance of rain.
That's what the weather forcast was at 8:00 this morning. RIGHT! It's 10%ing like crazy right now. And I was wearing insulated gloves, a stocking cap, and still pretty chilly.

Get some lavender oil and put it on your wrists and a little on your neck so you can smell it, it should help calm you..........I understand it being stressfull for you, .....breath deeply and slowly...and enjoy the love your church members are showering you with ....

having all kinds of stress over this. crowds and i dont mix well. i prefer one on one interactions... and they. all know how I am....
[/QUOTE]
DITTO on the crowd thing. More than 3, it ain't me.
But we all get stuck sometimes. Here's the plan. Get 3 friends who "know how you are". Swear them to something dire if they leave your side for the entire event. Huddle in a group, in deep discussion. Be prepared to say "Thank you, that's so sweet" 50 times when people come up to congratulate you, and dive right back into your deep conversation. If somebody is really persistent one of the friends sidetracks them into some topic and leads them away, to palm them off on some other guest. It will be obvious that it must be important, so you won't have to be Ms Sociable all night. Well, I guess you'll have to break to open presents....but that you'll just have to tough through. It'll be like four friends at a mall....tons of people around, but just you and your buddies apart.
Happens all the time at proper social functions where one person is "supposed" to be the center of attention.

@Baymule my god woman! Do you have your own cooking show or something???
Ok. My epicurian egg delight.
Utensils: bowl (cereal size), fork, microwave, toaster

Ingredients: 1 egg, 1 sausage patty (frozen) OR ham slice, pinch of pre-shreded cheese and 1 English muffin.

Prep: place sausage in bowl, microwave 1 minute
While sausage cooks, slice muffin and put in toaster.
Remove sausage with fork, break egg into bowl, and put sausage back, on top. Cover with cheese. Return to microwave (and cover with saucer....cause that egg will explode all over the microwave otherwise). Cook 1 minute more.
Use fork to slide cheesy egg and sausage onto toasted muffin.
VOILA! Egg mcmuffin a la George
And that's about as fancy as I dare to get!
Thank you for the tips, though. I'll pass them along if I ever get a SO who does the cooking thing.
