"E" is for Eggs in Cartons, Egg Sandwiches, and Elephant Ears.

. 
Eggs in Cartons, the above picture, show how nutty the grocery pricing is.  The upper carton of a dozen we got first at our local Kroger Grocery store the week before last.  Then last week the one and a half dozen were priced at $1.00 for the 18 eggs.  Someone miscalculated here or else last week the eggs were loss leaders for the week.
.
The Eggs in Carton  picture is also fitting for my Thursday Things in a Row post.

   

Egg Sandwiches in progress is what you see above and the first picture below to the left.  Most of the ingredients are shown on the left above.  We see an onion, whole wheat sliced bread, two eggs, Romaine lettuce heart, picante sauce, mayo, and ketchup.  Not show but you see it above is some cooked packaged Canadian bacon.

.

Finely chop some onion and put it in a tad of water in a Pammed (sprayed with Pam) 4 X 6 inch baking dish.  Microwave on high for a minute or two or three until the onions are soft.  I might have added some green or other color peppers in for flavor but I didn't have any.

.

Use one egg for a single sandwich or two for two sandwiches.  I made me one and also a half sandwich for Mrs. Jim so I used two eggs. 

.

Separate the yolk from one egg and place the white and the other egg  in a measuring cup.  Put a teaspoon or two picante sauce and the softened onion pieces and any remaining water in with the eggs.  Beat with a fork or whisp until slightly frothy.

.

Make sure your baking dish is coated with Pam.  This prevents sticking and will make dish washing much easier.

.

Place the egg mixture in the baking dish.  Cover with a paper towel and bake on HIGH for two minutes.  The eggs will puff up over the baking dish but the bottoms won't be cooked then so continue cooking for the full two minutes.  When done they will look like the picture on the left, below.

.

Place the sliced cheese, I use American no fat, on the warmed cooked egg.  Put the egg on your bread which you should have toasted while the micro wave was running.  One side for mine has mayo and the top side has ketchup.  This is your preference, Mrs. Jim will have hers open faced and will put mayo on her bread.

,

Don't put the lettuce on until you have melted the cheese.  Put the sandwich open faced back in the oven and heat until the cheese slightly melts.  This will be around 20 seconds and will help rewarm the eggs and bacon which I ha also microwaved for twenty or so seconds until it looked slightly recooked.

.

Remove from the microwave and cover with the top slice of toast.  Notice that I had precut sliced the bottom part to making cutting in half easier when you finish.

.

I served this with watermelon and cottage cheese and Diet coke.  Coffee would go good for breakfast but this was made for lunch.  Mrs. Jim would finish assembling her sandwich after she came home from playing golf.

    

.

My Elephant Ear plants were making out fine this year. They come up wild in our left side back yard bed. They don't even start to come up until after the azaleas there have finished blooming.
.
I am not sure they are Elephant Ears as Mrs. Jim says the tops will bloom after the little ones at the bottom are finished. I slightly remember a bright red blooming affair coming from these large leaves.
.
They are growing in a row.  It started with just one plant from a funeral.  But now?  It may take over the world.  First though, it must do service as a Things in a Row picture post.
.
I think the little tree at the left is an Elephant Ear plant. It is in a neighbor's yard but Adi wanted to rest from her walk on this warm Texas morning.

"Someone's been sleeping in my bed!" exclaimed Baby bear.

And now for my Thursday Two Questions: (See Thursday Two Questions by Self Sagacity for more reading. You could also make your own by checking in at this link.)
...
Last week 's post was about eating with friends and public transportation. The responses were very interesting.

My Two Questions for this week:
.
1. How much cooking does the man in your family do. Do problems arise?
.
I like to cook.  Mostly what I make is pretty simple like sandwiches.  But they always are just a little bit off from the normal.  I have been known for my excellent chili and also making pizza from scratch, even the crusts.

.

Problems, if any might arise from washing my dishes.  I pick up really good, mostly things are back where they belong before we eat.
.
2.  What kind of plants do you have that you don't know what they are?  Does it bother much that you don't know? .

.

(As you read in my post, it really doesn't matter very much to me that I don't know.)
