Eggs

How do you know if your eggs are fresh?

Place an egg at the bottom of a glass full of water and watch what happens:
If the egg lies at the bottom on its side, it's fresh.
If the egg sinks, but with one end up, it's getting old but is still edible.
If the egg floats at all, you should buy some fresh ones.

*Always check the expiration date on the side of the carton...I bought eggs at Trader Joe's once and they were to expire that day! So check, check, check! Especially if you are shopping at Trader Joe's...it's not the first time I have encountered expired product on their shelves!

People!

Ain't this the truth!

Labor Day Heat

So how was your Labor Day? Did you accomplish anything? I got a few things done, but I hate going out in the heat - fortunately it was a holiday weekend so no one expected much except me! I did however create a new really yummy recipe for black cod. I'm really trying hard to make friends with white fish - I'm not a big fan, but with recipes like this, I will be soon!

Money

"They say money is the root of all evil. Lack of money is the root of all evil. Money can't buy happiness. Then I say you must not have enough of it. I love you does not put food on the table, only cold, hard cash does."
