Tidbits ~ Herbed Omelets or Scrambled Eggs

Hubby and I were up at 5am this morning.  Had coffee on the porch before he left for work and I made him a sweet potato (more like an egg hash) burrito.  Both of us were up since about 3am.

I had to laugh this morning.  He asked me to open the door so he could carry his lunch, mug of coffee and half eaten burrito out to the car (truck is still down).  I looked down and he had socks and slippers on, ha ha ha ha!  I had to tell him, "um, hun? You don't have your shoes on."  We laughed and laughed.

It's operation homestead clean up again today.  I was abandoned by all kiddos, so I didn't have any help, but today I will.  More spider traps are going in place again too.

I don't see that it even rained last night, so we'll dig out more porch furniture.  I put a few pieces out yesterday, but golly, there is more to tidy up than I thought.



I love the last mix of herbs I made a jar of ("Fire it Up" or what we call "Full Throttle"), and now I have a new combination for making cheese omelets.

However, the first time I used this mix of herbs, I simply scrambled my eggs, and left the cheese out.

Herbed Omelets
1 tsp. parsley
1 tsp. basil
1 tsp. tarragon
1 tsp. rosemary
1 tsp. thyme

I love scrambled eggs made with a bit of butter, so I use about 2 tsp. organic olive oil, with 1 tsp. organic butter (3 eggs) and a bit of milk (maybe 1/4 cup or less).

To make omelets use 1/4 cheese, or leave out to scramble.

Make a souffle with this herb mix, or a frittata too.

The tarragon in this mix tastes pretty good with eggs.  I tried it on my peas and didn't like it on that so much.  Oh, our garden peas in the freezer are officially out now.  


We'll have two new babies born this month, one possibly today.  It's the daughter to one of our nieces.  So that would make her (the new baby) our great grand niece?   

I can't believe it's Friday already.   I'm already on our second pot of coffee and ready to tackle today.  As soon as this weekend is over, it's back to the veggie garden.  It's a busy, family filled weekend for us.

On a last note, and a good one, I sent an email to one of our youngest daughter's teachers.  During the funeral week, she took a test and got 15 out of 15, but forgot to put her name on the paper.  The teacher gave her a zero.  I explained what was going on, and she immediately corrected the grade, keeping her GPA up where it was.

On another scary note, we discovered someone trying to steal her identity.  First, Hubby put our insurance as paperless, so the emails to go him, not me (so I can't keep track of it).  Anyway, he got emails that our youngest daughter was in a hospital in MI.  $3,000 in bills.  We have identity theft, so the claims were all put in as fraudulent.  It's a scary world right now, and we'll be watching every doctor appt the kids have from now on.

Have a blessed weekend!

Note:  I read somewhere in one of my herbal books that tarragon helps reduce artery build up. If I locate the source again, I'll be sure to post it here.

That's crazy about the identity theft, my gosh...I'm glad you were able to settle it though, and with her grade. That's funny about your hubby in his slippers, I know I've done that too lol!
Rain, we are paperless billing with our insurance (for claims etc) and I'm thankful Hubby read his email. I'm thankful we have identity theft protection too. Yeah, watching him go out in his slippers was pretty funny.

We live in frightening times, fraudulent crimes are certainly on the rise.

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 . . .
