On the Porch
Onisha Ellis
This morning I prepared scrambled eggs for our breakfast. I remembered that I had saved egg whites from the last batch of ice cream I made and never wanting to waste food, decided to add the whites to the eggs.
I took one bite, then another. Something wasn’t right!
I sniffed. It couldn’t be! Cautiously I asked my daughter, “do your eggs taste like pickles?”
“Yes, she said and I kind of like the taste. It gives the eggs some zing.”( I love this girl)
Being a wise man and fond of his food, my husband kept eating.
Thinking on how this happened, I remembered making ice cream and adding two egg whites to a half full, small round container in the fridge. I often used that size for egg whites.
I asked my daughter about that container. Turns out she was saving pickle juice and the official pickle jars were full.
She put some in the type of small round containers that I put egg whites in!
Mystery solved and the eggs weren’t bad!
Have you had a cooking oops? Share so I won’t feel that I am the only one.
After my retirement, I decided to re-learn the canning and preserving skills I learned from my mother but hadn’t practiced for twenty years. I titled the blog Old Things R New to chronicle my experience. Since then I have been blessed to have six other bloggers join me, DiVoran Lites, Bill Lites, Judy Wills, Louise Gibson, Janet Perez Eckles and Melody Hendrix
