Thoughts and Observations

This and That

Just to show you I can write on other subjects, I would like to begin with some important truths as I have come to believe them. People scramble eggs by whipping a few eggs with some milk and then drop them in the pan. This is a cold practice foisted on us by the British who try to pay for their crimes by eating tasteless foods. The better way is to break a number of eggs into a pan with  dab of butter. The whites of the eggs will begin to turn white. When that is about two thirds accomplished you then begin to mix them with yolks. This gives you a different flavor made by a combination of the flavors of both the whites and yokes.


My daughter is a source of the following: Non stick frying pans become very sticky shortly after you begin using them. To continue the nonstick ability never heat the pan much past medium heat. This will allow the non stick quality to last much longer. Slows things down but if you like the non stick ability it’s well worth it.


The cure for a lot of natures painful  problems, an Indian women told her, was usually nearby. Poison Ivy ’s cure is a weed called Mullen which frequently grows quite close and whose large leaves when blanched and placed on the affliction will bring  some relief. An interesting drawback is that it will turn your skin green.
