Tidbits ~ Egg Dip

I spent part of my day cleaning out the refrigerator.   It was hot and humid, and a good day for laundry too.   I had to do some sewing, so I got that done as well.  

Although I felt better, I woke up at 3am with a killer sort throat.  I guess I'll be drinking hot ginger tea today.  I ran out of chamomile, but have fresh organic ginger on hand. 

The rain fell yesterday, so I may run out and start gutting the garden.  I got a text from Hubby to "stay out of the garden" but it needs started.  The girls can help this weekend, and get it done faster.


The girls and I have an agreement, that if any job is left undone or half way done, or not done right, they have to do a job on my list.  One left the dishes sitting and did not dry and put them away.  She'll be getting a job, even if it's on the weekend.  I'm thinking the window blinds or cleaning the chicken coop.

Now for the newest recipe...


Egg Dip - a from "pile to file" recipe. I had cut it out of a local newspaper several years ago.


I'll be honest, I was not sure I was making this recipe right at first.  Once you heat the eggs with the butter, sugar and vinegar, it cooks the eggs and thickens the mixture.  It was wonderful!  I will definitely make this dip again, and it would be great for a "crowd pleaser."  Now that we are down to four people, I put the dip into two dishes, one for Hubby and I and one for the two girls.  Hubby was trying to bribe the girls for their bowl of dip too, ha ha!  That is how delicious this dip is.  It will replace any french onion dip recipe that I kept too.  I love the fact it has fresh onion and green pepper in it.

I wonder how my dandelion vinegar would taste in this.  I may even try it again, when I am up to taking a trip to the store.  I have to buy the organic green peppers, and cream cheese now.  I do miss my homemade goat's milk cream cheese.  



Egg Dip

2 farm fresh eggs
2 Tbsp. organic butter
2 Tbsp.  organic sugar
2 Tbsp. Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
1 pkg.  organic cream cheese (8 oz)
1 organic onion, med, chopped
½ organic green pepper, chopped

Combine eggs, butter, sugar and vinegar in a saucepan, and heat until mixture thickens.  Set aside.  While mixture is still warm, beat in cream cheese and onion and pepper.  Chill until ready to serve.   

Now go whip up some homemade crackers or chips and make a bowl of this!  I know I'll be making it again, and again this winter for fall and winter holiday parties.

That dip sounds wonderful! I need to make some cream cheese and try this out. I am hoping to clean out the garden this weekend, too. It is about 80% weeds but it's so dry, it's like yanking them out of cement.
Susan, the dip is wonderful. I just weeded for two hours, and came in drenched with sweat. Since it rained a bit I could pull the grass, but not the big stuff. I hope it rains again. I have a lot to pull out.

I am making that dip for this holiday weekend. It's just me, myself and I but we're celebrating! Thanks for the recipe! Don't work too hard.

I sure hope that throat gets better. No fun having a sore throat, especially on a holiday weekend. That dip does sound good. Will have to try it. I bet it would be good on toasted French or Italian bread slices too.
Have a great weekend.
God bless.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
