Eggs, the very symbol of fertility and spring, can frighten
some. Maybe not on the “afraid of clowns” level, but I know my aunt is not a
fan of a bright yellow yolk at any time of day, and sure won’t face one in the
early morning. Horror director Alfred Hitchcock is on the record ad being
frightened and revolted by eggs.
I’m aware that the thought of a frozen egg could deter some,
but I’ll briefly mention my good fortune with them and let the reader continue
with further research, if so desired. I heard chefs froze eggs, then defrosted
them overnight in the fridge and came out with very creamy fried eggs in the
pan for breakfast. It sounded weird, so of course I tried it. I wish I’d seen a
note about cracking them into ice trays, first, but they peeled pretty easily.
I enjoyed it, but go ahead and look up “right” ways to do this, because health
comes first, even over taste and adventure.
Springing Ahead: Gardens and pools are in
our future. Here are some goods to help us in each situation.
· Some ants
and I have been doing battle. They keep moving earth from little potted
succulents on the kitchen counter and making a mess. I’m introducing them to
Grandpa Gus in the form of ant, roach and fly killer with lemongrass oil.
There’s an Austin connection to www.grandpagus.com
and I like the thought of peppermint, cinnamon, etc. as natural repellents. The
recipes, though are to get pests out of your life.

Floating Coasters are like a floating beaded bracelet to cuff your beverage
from full to empty. Adjustable, highly-stable, floating beverage coasters have
their own video at www.thebenzeni.com,
so see if your floaters stack up to these.
