 ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

FRIDAY OCTOBER 14TH, 2022

The moments of our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades.  May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks,  and boring grays of your every day.

Slightly adapted from one of my morning devotionals

Today is World Egg Day which is celebrated every year on the 2nd Friday in October.  It’s a unique opportunity to help raise awareness of the benefit of eggs.  It was introduced by the International Egg Commission in 1996.  The main objective of this day is action to boost the consumption of eggs.

Chicken eggs are widely used in many types of dishes both sweet and savory including many baked goods.  Some of the most common preparation methods include scrambled, fried, hard boiled, soft boiled, omelettes and pickled.  They can also be eaten raw, though this is not recommended for people who may especially be susceptible to salmonellosis. 

Eggs add protein to a person’s diet, as well as various other nutrients.  As an ingredient, egg yolks are important emulsifier in the kitchen, and are also used as a thickener in custards.  The albumen, or egg white, contains protein, but little or no fat, and can be used in cooking separately from the yolk. 

To celebrate today enjoy a couple of eggs cooked your favorite way.  

If you cannot see the bright side, polish the dull 

side

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Never met an egg I didn’t like.

Claire Saffitz

Sorry I’m so late in posting today, but I've I had no internet service since yesterday afternoon. Finally I’ve got it back!

I enjoy eggs for breakfast and often have breakfast for dinner too.  I like them just about anyway you can fix them.  But I have to say that scrambled are probably a favorite. 

And everyone enjoys deviled eggs served with dinner. They also make good appetizers.  I put eggs in my potato and mac salad too and of course I bake a lot of things with them inside it too.  They are something I always have on hand.

It’s my day to cook here and on the menu today is: 

Curried Egg Salad 

Makes 6 sandwiches

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 tsp ground curry

1/2 tsp honey

dash of ground ginger

6 hard boiled eggs, coarsely chopped 

3 green onions, sliced

6 slices whole wheat bread

Optional: Tomato slices and cracked pepper 

Mix the first 4 ingredients, stir in eggs and green onions.  Spread on bread, if desired, top with tomato and sprinkle with pepper.

This is an  open face sandwich but I’ll probably add another slice of bread to mine. I love egg salad sandwiches!

I hope you all have  a FANTASTIC Friday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS 

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for.  There is truly is always something to be thankful for.

 

10,702  for eggs that are good and good for us too.

10,703. for sandwiches for dinner, easy and quick

10,704. for the end of another wonderful week.

Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!

ADVICE FOR TODAY

A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.
