| Fun Facts on Eggs from Fremont Farms of Iowa LLP
Eggs age more in one day at room temperature than they do in a week if refrigerated.
To make easy to peel hard boiled eggs, allow the fresh eggs to age for a couple of weeks in the refrigerator before boiling.
The average hen will lay about 245 eggs per year.
The older a hen gets, the larger her eggs become.
To boil the perfect egg see the recipe Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs on this website. |
| Maw Maw always wondered why her fig cake was always so moist. Read what californiafigs.com reveals on figs: Figs contain a natural humectant -- a chemical that will extend freshness and moistness in baked products. Although considered a fruit, the fig is actually a flower that is inverted into itself. The seeds are drupes, or the real fruit. Figs are the only fruit to fully ripen and semi-dry on the tree.
For many years the fig has been used as a coffee substitute. The fruit contains a proteolytic enzyme that is considered an aid to digestion and is used by the pharmaceutical industry.
And, because of its high alkalinity it has been mentioned as being beneficial to persons wishing to quit smoking. Dried figs were first sold in a commercially manufactured cookie in 1892. Not yet rated |
| This is a popular recipe request. This recipe is one of the classics and as with the old recipes, cooks use a lil of this and a lil of that. Between MawMaw and Bert, the beginning of the semblance of a recipe has been created. This recipe calls for an ingredient many Cajun cooks had and that was 'judgement'.
Maw-Maw likes what Chef Folse says about grillades - Grillades may be found on the sharecropper's breakfast table or on the grand buffets of New Orleans.

| This is so good that it'll make a hound break a log chain to get to it. One day at work I asked if anyone had any unusual recipes. A young lady, Jordan Raymer, asked if I had ever had Chocolate Gravy and Biscuits. That one got my attention. It may sound funny but I gaw-ron-tee it will get a big Yee-Haw!! from those who try it. If you are countin' calories, hon, you had better pass this one on by. It is de-licious!! You gotta give it a try. |
