7:13 am

time for breakfast
7:17 am
MollyL
I don't think they are ever easy, for most of us.
7:19 am
BzznBea
How was your beef stew, Molly?
7:22 am
MollyL
Really good, thanks. Not posh though.
: D
7:24 am
MollyL
We are going to do barbecued chicken and roasted potatoes and vegetables tonight.
7:24 am
BzznBea
I made egg bites in the IP yesterday. Intended to have them for breakfast toay and put some in the freezer.
7:25 am
BzznBea
They fell apart when I took the out of the mold. They were too watery.
7:25 am
BzznBea
We will have scramble egss this morning. =)
7:26 am
MollyL
I do those with crust in the regular old oven. They are good.
7:29 am
MollyL
I'm doing waffles with apple pecan topping for breakfast. Lots of good smells in here.
7:29 am
BzznBea
I'm sure!
7:35 am
MollyL
I thought your Mom didn't like eggs
7:37 am
BzznBea
She doesn't. Thise are for Larry and me.
7:38 am
BzznBea
She usually just has some toast and her tea for breakfast.
7:39 am
MLFAN17
hello all
7:49 am
MollyL
I go through times when I'm sick of eggs. We eat them a lot because they are an inexpensive form of protein.
7:50 am
BzznBea
We got a carton of liquid eggs in a food box. I thought the egg bites would be a nice way to use them up. I will make them again and cook them a bit longer.
7:58 am
MollyL
What else comes in the food boxes?
7:59 am
BzznBea
It depends on what the food banks have a large quantity of.
8:00 am
BzznBea
This one had a couple large onions, some apples, a butternut squash, a "personal" watermelon, a gallon of milk, a large container of yougurt and a package of precooked dark meat chicken.
8:00 am
BzznBea
It was a lot of food.
8:05 am
BzznBea
There was three pounds of cheese too.
8:05 am
MollyL
Wow, that is a lot of food.
8:07 am
MollyL
I imagine that if you get creative with recipes, it can go a long way.
8:07 am
BzznBea
It was. What I knew we would eat, I gave to a neighbor that feeds five kids.
8:08 am
BzznBea
wouldn't eat.
8:08 am
MollyL
That was nice of you, I'm sure your neighbor appreciated it.
8:09 am
BzznBea
Another neighbor was the one that got the box for us. I knew nothing about the give away.
8:09 am
MollyL
I can't even imagine the money it takes to feed five. Although I did it at one time. But groceries were less expensive then.
8:10 am
BzznBea
And these are strapping young men. They are always eating.

Hi you two

The Ekka is the annual agricultural show of Queensland, Australia. Its formal title is the Royal Queensland Show, and it is held at the Brisbane Showgrounds. It was originally called the Brisbane Exhibition, but it is more commonly known as the "Ekka"

7:58 pm
Lizlin
Thanks to Wikipedia!
7:59 pm
lynxxx
I see. We used to have Show Day holiday here when I was a kid....but then they brought in Grand Final Day - either/or - so of course it became Grand Final Day. I think it even happened here in September - even though no Grand Final YET as you know. Go figure

We still had a GC show day here even though there wasn't a show this year!
8:01 pm
