A Bit More Order Does It

                                  


Visit a Stroll Through Life for more!!


How wonderful it was to have our wonderful daughter and son-in-law with us over the weekend! Even though the time was short... they helped us in untold ways to miraculously get things organized and moved from one house to another ... things from my parents I wanted to keep, of course, there were things I have to sell from my own household to make room from the old so those things had to move to mom's house and placed in the for sale lots... this was a task that kept getting pushed to the bottom of the to do list and Saturday we finally were able to mark them "Done!!
Organizing and regrouping was the key....first of all as seen in this shot, the dining room housed the curio cabinet,



but I wanted to replace that spot with mom's corner cupboard.



Amanda and I had so much fun deciding what to place where, and grouping items by collection made so much sense, now that I had the space to be more particular about storage!!!!



The curio cabinet found a home in the living room beside the piano...



and the shelves make so much more sense now...


Placing my collection of tea pots on the hutch makes for a happier vignette!



and so much order makes for a much happier me!!!!   I am also posting here!

You Asked for It!






Rooted In Thyme

Click the button to return to  our hostess at Rooted in Thyme!!
Today I am joining   this fun blog party  to  take the opportunity to share about some thing  many expressed interest in....this week I posted  my Morning Tea Party  where  I served baked eggs....    So  I  have been  doing some research and  want to share about  this very simple and delicious  manner of cooking eggs....
I am a fan of Ina Garten, and love her  simple yet wholesome cooking techniques.. many of which were born from her  experiences  in France... I have seen her bake eggs several times on her show... so this week I  very simply   Pammed my baking dish and    baked unbroken eggs into it and  seasoned them lightly and baked them a t 400  for about 15 minutes...SO simple and they were delightful...   but then this morning  after  so much interest expressed I decided to do a bit of research....  the most charming video of Ina  baking  herbed eggs is  found here!  So I  made my  facimile of these for breakfast this morning.. but I used  the items I had on hand..
I had no  green herbs   but did have  fresh garlic,  red pepper and  lovely grated parmesan...

 I used half and half  and a bit of butter  to coat the bottom of my baking dish that I also  sprayed with  Pam....  ...

After assembling the ingredients. I  baked  at 400 for 15 minutes  until the whites were completely cooked...

Cooking the cream and butter together for 5 minutes before  assembling the rest  made for a much moister and    light  egg dish than just baking them  in a Pammed  pan as I did  earlier this week.

 The whites a re done the yolk is  not too hard.. just the way I  like my egg,  the egg comes out of the dish easily and clean up is a whiz...    I like to experiment with  recipes.. as I   assembled the dish  I was thinking  it was so much like a crustless quiche and I love a dash of nutmeg in my quiche so I couldnt help  by add a dash  along with the other seasoning...  Next time I will substitute onions for the garlic...
