Egg Recipe #19

Here is the second part I promised. Egg Breakfast Sandwich Your way I used the egg cooked in the microwave and for my meat choice I had some Canadian bacon but why not use bacon, sausage or ham. Really whatever you have on hand.. Now I had whole wheat  English muffins but I have also used bread, biscuits, soft rolls, crescent roll or what about bagels. I love cheese on mine but that is optional. And you can not forget the ketchup   Till next time Kat =^..^=

Egg Recipe #18

I have been so preoccupied with being at the hospital with my daughter and not in my own kitchen I have fallen behind in posting the weekly egg recipe. I have been on the run a lot so I thought what better recipe to share is a couple of very simple and familiar ones we all have eaten at one time or another.  Egg via Microwave Perfect way for you to cook an egg quickly and flawlessly.  Crack 1 (or 2) eggs in a microwavable mug, with 1 Tablespoon milk and salt & pepper Stir to mix and break the yolk. . Place in the microwave and cook on high for 45 seconds. Whoa-la I am going to show what I have been doing with my cooked egg in the next post. A great to take on the run breakfast. Till next time Kat =^..^= 

Missing Home

I have been here in California now for 10 days and as much as this place had been birthplace and home to me for 36 years, I find that what I have now in Oklahoma I miss dearly. I miss my husband aka "the man of the place" and all we have there. We are all still on baby watch. My daughter has been admitted to the hospital on bed rest until the boys are born. I was going through pictures I took at home and came across all the pictures of the different types of Irises we have on the place. Have nine different large Irises and remember the one mini Iris from a couple months ago, that makes ten. A beautiful collection Since I was not the one to plant them I do not know the name of all the varieties, wish I did. They are very nice even without names. Till next time Kat =^..^=

Antiquing Canning Jars

I had seen this process done on Pinterest and knew I had to try it because I have so many canning jars.  I thought this would be a great way to use them so they are not just sitting on a shelf.  I had read the story "The Christmas Jar" which is about the gift of change that had been collected in a pickle jar. So I thought to paint the jars and give them to the ladies in our 30's group with the challenge to collect their change and find someone who could use the gift at Christmas.  These jars are my finished product. Very few ingredients are needed:  Mod Podge - 1 Tablespoon and food coloring - several drops, depends on the color.  I used a 2-to-1 ratio of blue - green and 1 teaspoon of water.   Now the first set of instructions I found said to pour the mixture into the jar and coat the inside.   After it dried this is how they turned out.  As you can see,  not good - they are unevenly colored with streaks. I had to try again, but this time I p

Egg Recipe # 17

This is a very easy and fast dish, plus  it's one the kids could make and maybe serve to mom on Mother's day. They have a couple of weeks to practice before that special day. Eggs in a Hole Ingredients 1 1/2 teaspoons bacon grease or a tsp. of butter 1 slice bread 1 egg salt and ground black pepper to taste Directions Melt the bacon grease in a non-stick pan over low heat. Cut a 1 1/2 to 2-inch hole from the center of the bread slice; lay in the hot skillet. When the side facing down is lightly toasted, about 2 minutes,   flip and crack the egg into the hole; season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook until the egg is cooked and mostly firm.   Flip again and cook 1 minute more to assure doneness on both sides. Serve immediately.

On a Jet Plane

Sorry I haven't written much lately, I have been getting the house in order so I can fly out to my daughter's today. I'll get caught up on my posts when I get there.  Till next time (in California) Kat =^..^=

Unbelievable

I have had taken these pictures back at the Dallas show last month and had meant to post these photos. I do not know about you but something I see quilts that just put me in ah. These two do it for me. This first one definitely deserved the first placed ribbon it has. The detail is amazing and her theme is so "sweet". Just love it. This one I just thought was so perfect. The thread work is so realistic and lifelike. I hope you enjoy seeing these as much as I did and someday I hope I will see works of these quilters/artists in the future. Kat
