How do you feed 53 using 45 eggs and cooking all afternoon?

Let me back up a little. It all started with 8 eggs. Tuesday for coffee I tried a new recipe. You use any vegetables you have and chop them up. Cooked potatoes can be shredded along with carrots. I used shredded potatoes, a can  of corn and a can of peas. Then I cut up and sautéed onions, red pepper and garlic and mixed it all together. You can also add meat like bacon or ham or shredded cooked chicken. You spray a muffin tin really good and fill each one about 3/4 full. You scramble 8 eggs and add seasoning, pour some over the vegetables. Add shredded cheese on top and bake at 375 for 20 minutes. I served them warm with catsup, sour cream and mayonnaise. Well, my ladies loved them and when I asked if the seniors at the center would like them, they all agreed yes. Tomorrow they are having rice with tuna and they thought this would be a perfect addition. They said I should have 40.

So, yesterday I did my shopping and added a few ingredients. By the time I was done today I had used all the eggs I bought - yup, 45, 5 cooked potatoes, 2 really big carrots, 3 tomatoes, 2 cans of corn, 3 peppers, 2 onions, 2 batches of green onion, a head of garlic and 1 1/2 blocks of cheese. It took a little more than expected of everything because I used my bigger muffin tins for most of them so they are a little bigger than my first ones. I am taking them over tomorrow morning and Jeanette says she has the condiments to serve with them. I made a few extra so I can take a few to Katherine for her to try as a possible breakfast item. Speaking of her breakfast, I took her some of the sauce I made this weekend and she says the papaya pineapple is a big hit. It isn't as thick as jelly and I thought it would be great on waffles and pancakes.

Tia came to visit today just as I took the first pan from the oven so I sat her down and gave her one. I had to have one too. She really liked it. She is getting quite unsteady walking so I grabbed a jar of sauce and walked home with her.

Yesterday Jeanette posted a picture of her showing her granddaughter how to crochet. They were each working on a project and she said she was very interested in learning. I put together a kit for her of yarn and crochet hooks and a measuring tape in a pretty bag and took it to her. She seemed very pleased. Another generation started!

We agreed on Tuesday that we will make our first trip to the hospital on Wednesday next week. I don't know yet who will be going with me.

I have a new project I am starting. Katherine talked about wanting to make a cat hat for Courtney so I am going to make it. She says Courtney's favorite color is purple and I have some great variegated yarn so I will use that. Doesn't look like it will take long.

I think that's it for now. I just read that tomatoes and cucumbers aren't good neighbors. Can't wait to see what happens in my planter as they are getting really big.
