Letter "O" -- Friday's Weekend Roundup 11 and Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures
This Week's Prompts Starts with "O." A Favorite. "O"ne. Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures.
_ _ _ _
Starts with "O": Onions, they are a part of many of my recipes. I was pretty proud of this sandwich. Mrs. Jim was having eggs and grits for lunch. I opted out of those although she volunteered to hard boil an egg for me with hers if I wanted. I wanted.
Before the egg was finished I had decided that I would like an egg salad sandwich. I said that I would make her one also but she stuck with having her beloved grits. (Note: I had my first serving of grits at a Holiday Inn restaurant where I was staying when I first came to Houston from a three year duty with my company, Philco Corporation)
My Ingredients, yours may vary:
- One hard boiled egg
- One hot dog bun
- A piece of onion, One large purple plum, One teaspoon tartar sauce, Mayo as needed for consistency (I used light), One teaspoon yellow mustard if you want, I did not, Salt and Pepper, I used a couple of pinches each.(mix all these together and make the consistency suit yourself by the amount of mayo and mustard

- Other items that you yourself would add to make a deviled egg or egg salad can be used
- Two fairly large Romaine lettuce leaves
I cut the center out of the hot dog bun to replace that part with my egg salad. Dice the egg and onion into fairly small pieces, the fruit into larger. Put in the lettuce, add the salad. Yummy!

A Favorite: This little Hibiscus has been having a pretty bloom about one every other day, all spring and all summer. Once in a while it has two blooms at the same time. I took this picture from right our back door window, it is full length.
Growing in the box are seven little volunteer Vinca flowering plants that I rescued from being covered with the new mulch put on our flower beds. BTW, rabbits do not eat vinca plants or blooms.
Tom's choice, "One": One good great sandwich.
This was our supper the other night. Almost a sandwich, for the picture, Mrs. Jim had hers open faced, for mine I completed with a covering slice of toast to complete its being a sandwich. The French would call hers a "Croque Monsieur" with ham and cheese.
Ingredients: (makes two)
Two eggs
Four slices of deli ham
Four slices of cheddar cheese
Four slices of bread (Mrs. Jim's used only one)
Cooking and assembling:
Cook the eggs one at a time;
Open and stir the egg in a square bread slice sized microwaveable Pyrex type bowel (I should add to spray the vessel with vegetable oil, and cover the egg with a paper towel as it will likely pop a little-that doesn't hurt a thing)
Microwave 75 seconds at 60% power
(This was my supper the other night. Almost, the Mrs. has hers open faced as shown in the picture; I completed mine with a covering slice of toast to make the sandwich.
It takes about ten minutes to make for two.)
Flip them upside down
Layer the ham, then the cheese
Turn them right side up so that the pretty egg is on the top.
(I put a little ketchup on each bite when I cut it. For me, ketchup goes on a lot of things.)
Pronto!!

Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures: My son, Tim, took this photo back in 2016 while at his work. He is a Boatman and had just untied this ship from the dock five minutes before.
The ship, leaving the Houston Ship Channel with its cargo, struck an obstruction in the water, leaking gallons and gallons of flammable liquid. Somehow the liquid floating on top of the water caught fire. Causes and damages are still under investigation when he gave me the photo. No life was lost.
