I Love Eggs!

Abby loves eggs. I have to keep a dozen boiled eggs on hand at all times to avoid melt downs at snack time. We both learned quick raw eggs in the fridge don't peal like boiled eggs. I now have to hide raw eggs so we don't make this mistake again!
On Thursday I boiled 18 eggs to pickle (my fav treat). By the time I got a chance to make the pickling juice today I was out of eggs. We were out of town on Saturday so this means we went through 18 eggs in 2 days!! (Abby didn't do all of the eating alone her Daddy and Big Brother helped). I often come into the kitchen to find little miss Abby standing over the trash can pealing eggs. "One for me one for Brother" she says. Then she Salts them both generously before giving one to Brother. A trick she learned from Grandma Dottie. She then eats the whites very carefully as to not to upset the yoke in the center. When she has finished all of the whites she finds the salt shaker and salts each bite of the yoke with it's own shake of salt!

Kye on the other hand only likes his boiled eggs warm and cut in half for easy access to the yummy center! He is very careful about the amount of salt he uses because"if you use to much salt it starts to burn like pepper"

P.S. I found my old camera.

Got it! Darling little girl. Isn't that sweet that she fixes one for her brother. They ought to be healthy. Grandma Sammy used to say eggs and bananas are natures most perfect foods.
