Hi, today I am reminded of what I do have. I am grateful for a home I can return to, be safe in, my happy place. Plenty of food.
Kevin signed up to take hard boiled eggs to the ‘Picnic in the Park’ for the homeless. Kevin usually brings things others don’t think of and then becomes a hit. Well, I must say, Kevin was not successful this time. He tried to bake the eggs instead of boiling them. He had 12 dozen eggs and did not want to even try boiling them. Today was his first time to bake in oven hard boiled eggs. Facebook recipe said to bake at 325 for 30 minutes. Then put hot eggs in a cold bath. Kevin did as instructed. We went to the park, helped set up. During serving, one person took an egg and jokingly went to hit his head with it. The egg was not hard boiled. Every one who witnessed the scene just laughed and the eggs were pulled from the table. Thank goodness there was plenty of other food there! 🙂 Kevin keeps saying, ‘it’s on FaceBook, it’s got to be true!’ Or not.
Mary Beth, the group organizer said we had approx 170 people come thru our line today. Many different ages of people. Staples provided weekly, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and water to drink. Then there is a sign up sheet for donated prepared food.
Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Hi, today I am grateful for a few reasons. First, for my husband who came up with this breakfast recipe for me. There may already be a similar recipe somewhere, but I have never seen it until Kevin made this. I call them Scrambled Egg Muffins. Originally, he used a regular sized muffin pan and sliced ham lunch meat. After several tweaks, he now uses the large muffin pan and Canadian Bacon slices. Second reason, these are quite tasty and only 4 points on the Weight Watchers program for two muffins.
Kevin never writes down his recipe, it changes each time he makes it. Should you be interested, here is a basic recipe to follow:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Large Muffin pan, sprayed with non stick spray.
- Canadian Bacon
- – Two Slices per pocket
- Eggs
- – 18 Large Eggs Scrambled
- Cheese
- – Your Choice and Amount
- Salt & Pepper
- – To Your Liking
- Chopped Green Pepper
- – As Much as You Like
First, place two slices of Canadian Bacon into individual pockets.
Then add in order- green peppers (any vegetable), scrambled eggs filling the pocket half or two thirds, top with cheese.
Bake 20 minutes. Turn oven off. Turn muffin pan 180 degrees, leave in oven (door closed). Let set in oven for approx 2 minutes. Remove from oven. The eggs will be fluffy and very pretty 🙂 Once cooled, the eggs will shrink. Remove from pan, store in plastic zip bags in refrigerator. In my opinion, they are good cold or heated in microwave.
Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Hi, day 2 I am grateful for my husband’s kindness for others. He visits Facebook daily. Usually at the end of his day. One evening he saw a post from a high school classmate. The classmate lives in a trailer that suffered wind damage from a recent storm. She had asked for help with the skirting. It had come loose and requested any help. She was not able to afford to pay for the labor at the time. My husband volunteered to assist with the repairs. Well, there was a second storm and she was in a similar situation. Again she posted to Facebook and Kevin volunteered.
Time had passed since the storms. The classmate recently texted Kevin. She had purchased a gift card at a local pub for him and me. I thought this was very considerate of her to include me. Kevin and I had a tasty lunch date because of his kindness for others!
