Words of Wisdom from our President, Melvina Reid

Using Up Those Summer Eggs

The incubators have been put away for another season. The hens are still popping out the eggs. You are so tired of deviled eggs, pickled eggs and egg and olive sandwiches. Here are a few of the ways that I use up the eggs:

 

1. Beat up two or three eggs. Drain a can of tuna fish. Break some white bread up and stir in a little chopped onion - a splash of milk. Some salt and pepper. Drop the mixture on an oiled griddle in small paddies. Turn like pancakes.

2. Heat up some cooked potatoes as for homefries. Break some eggs in. Salt and pepper. Stir

like scrambled eggs.                                                                                                                                                                                                        .

3. I like this one (the others make faces) try it once and see. Using left over potato or macaroni salad, mayonnaise type, mix salad with a few beaten eggs, salt and pepper. Cook on oiled griddle. Make them pancake size, turn over, top with a slice of sandwich cheese or cheese sauce. 4. Add an egg, before cooking, to cornstarch pudding.

5. Add an egg or two to your pancake batter.

6. Instead of pancakes with sausage swimming in syrup, forget the syrup and fry or poach some eggs to go with the sausages.

7. To freeze eggs - break out - stir gently, do not beat. Add a little salt. Put in different sized containers for different uses. Yogurt or margarine containers are good.

8. Cats and dogs like a dish of scrambled eggs now and then.

9. Give your dog a raw egg every few days. Good for their coats.

10. In baking - four Old English eggs can be used in place of two large eggs.

From our Vice President Floyd Rood

Hello everyone. Hope everybody that did some hatching this spring had a successful hatch. My hatches this spring did well and all, but my turkey. She had her own nest, hatched all the eggs, but no survivors. I don't understand what went wrong. However, she is trying again and has a nest full of eggs now.

As everyone probably knows there is-a National Show coming to Syracuse this fall in place of the Yankee Fall Classic. This could be a once in a lifetime chance for some of us to ever attend a Show of this caliber and size. Try to attend. Our Club is a part of this Show as well as several other New York Clubs. Gary Wells and I are trying to raise money for prize money in the Old English section of the Show. We decided to do this because the Old English are a big part of most of our local New York Shows. Anyone wishing to donate can reach Gary at 315-322-8993 or [email protected] or you can contact me at 315-379-9498 or [email protected].

 

Please take care of all your future champs .with lots of fresh air and water to help keep them cool in this hot weather. Hope to see you all this fall at the Shows, if not sooner.
