This Sunday I'm cheering on runners in this Race, but on Friday I had an eggcellent time with Godson in the kitchen.
Do you know how many eggs it take to master the art of egg cracking and then separating the whites from the yolks? With a lot of concentration and about 5 dish towels to wipe up the "oophs I cracked that one too hard" tries....
It takes about 8 or 9 attempts, before it suddenly all makes sense....
Lemon Meringue Pie and homemade pasta are in our future using the separated eggs.
Then the next 18 or so are a snap-- or should I say an egg-cracking success!

Eggcelent! He sure looks serious about cracking up. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe master chef-in-training is now proficient in separating egg whites. Next time show what he cooked using them. He is getting so grown up looking. Hilary cracked me up with her comment!
ReplyDeletenice. looks lik eyou are doing a great job with him..so are you sharing the fruits of your labor? smiles.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics of the chef at work. I'm in line for a piece of that pie.
ReplyDelete"Eggcelent" - Hilary said it! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday!
Good for you, for your cheering efforts today. You are a good soul Joanna.
ReplyDeleteI have an aesthetic eye, so of course it was drawn to your kitchen right away. I could live in there. If Cute Hubby wasn't around, I'd put a rug in my kitchen too.
And who wouldn't love to have a head full of hair like your godson? Gorgeous.
I was allergic to eggs as a kid. Couldn't start eating them until high school.
Separating eggs is a tough job even for an experienced cook. Good job to Godson!!
ReplyDeleteAren't you the wonderful godmother to do this with him! Lemon pie sounds perfectly wonderful. :) Hope the race goes well for all the participants! Happy Sunday dear sweet lady! XX
ReplyDeleteHe's so lucky to have you as a godmother!
ReplyDeletelove this Joanna, and his hair,
ReplyDeleteand your living out of love.
I want to know why he wanted to learn such a thing?! My son can strip an engine and put it back together with no pieces left over, but this? This he couldn't do! I doubt he ever even thought to want to master such a task!
ReplyDeleteSnarky Sister...I can't tell you how much I love you that you did this with him!
So sweet! And love his expressions you captured.
ReplyDeleteWell darn.. I just now noticed the title of your blog post. It must have crept into my brain without notice while I was commenting. The "Eggcellent" is all your. Sorry, Joanna. The yolks on me. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are a wonderful Godmother to teach this skill!
ReplyDeleteLemon meringue pie sounds so good!
They make a thing for that now! Maybe that should be my next As Seen on Tv item.
ReplyDeleteTime spent with our grandchildren is always well spent.....love this post....:-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteLooks eggciting!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a wonderful godparent.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful skill. His future spouse thanks you already.
ReplyDeleteI hope the walk goes marvelously today.
You captured the moments so perfectly, very cute. You should see me doing this :D
ReplyDeleteThe look of concentration is priceless!
ReplyDeleteI have actually successfully done this. It's kinda like playing with a slinky - back and forth between the shell halves.
ReplyDeleteI've never mentioned this success in eggs to my wife - she would push the envelope on it and have me baking something. For me it's a talent that can remind hidden.
That's hard to do for even those of us that have been doing this for years!! Great pictures!
ReplyDeleteThat's too funny. He did much better than I would. I have "butter" fingers in the kitchen. Perhaps he's a chef in the making. And save some lemon meringue pie for me. I love it.
ReplyDeleteWould you adopt me, please? I'm no good at making pies, but I DO have an egg separater that I could bring along!
ReplyDeleteGodson is adorable as he's concentrating on the project at hand. I can't wait to see the end results of the pasta and lemon meringue pie. Yum!!
ReplyDeleteLemon Meringue Pie.. OMG one of my favourite desserts.. I'm coming over...well.... just as soon as I figure out how to swim thousands of miles ...save me some! *sigh*. lol
ReplyDeleteLemon meringue pie is the best!
ReplyDeletehe is so sweet. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute chef : ) and hooray for you for teching him cooking skills!!!
ReplyDeleteLove it and I still can't do that without a few mishaps! Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you both had fun! :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, that is a good trick to master! Such concentration.
ReplyDeleteOooh - I love lemon meringue pie! Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteHe's really using some concentration :) Looks like fun - and mmm - pie!!
ReplyDeleteomg, did you just say PIE? I love pie. any kind will do. lol
ReplyDeletep.s. did you know there's a kitchen tool to separate eggs? i don't own one, I prefer to do it using the shells....
cute pics!
Lemon Meringue Pie and homemade pasta are just about the pinnacle of good foods. This is a good skill for godson to know - there will be lots of great food in his future. I can't imagine the tool folks are mentioning--once you practice, separating eggs is a no-brainer!
ReplyDeleteWell done, Teacher. Can't have too darn many skills. I still flush with pride whenever I tie my shoes.
ReplyDeleteThese photo's are adorable - and just look at his gorgeous hair! Lemon merangue pie is my top favourite all time sweet - but I have to confess, my home made pasta never seems to come out right, no matter how hard I try! Maybe I would benefit from a session in your kitchen, too?
ReplyDeleteAnything Lemon and I'm in! Looks like a whole lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos. I love the way you have captured his expression of concentration. Enjoy the food!
ReplyDeleteI have to say I make a great lemon pie...my recipe calls for grated lemon peel in the filling...but I have yet to try the home made pasta thingy...maybe in the future.
ReplyDeleteI added myself to follow your blog. You are more than welcome to visit mine and become a follower if you want to.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless You ~Ron
Great mop of hair on that kid!
ReplyDeleteIs there a child in the world who doesn't like to crack open eggs? For that matter, so do I?
A cracking goood time!
ReplyDeleteWarm Aloha from Waikiki
Comfort Spiral
hahha I love the intense concentration on his face
ReplyDeletenow this looks fun! lol
ReplyDeleteXO
How sweet is that??
ReplyDeleteHow cute is he!!
ReplyDeleteLove that you are supporting such a great cause, JJ. Way to go!
Godson looks so serious! You two have so much fun together! I have not made lemon meringue in a long time. When my paternal grandmother was alive I used to make it for her every year when she came down to visit or if I went up there. That was her very favorite pie!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing pictures from the pasta making adventure!
~ Tracy
He looks very serious about it. :) I love lemon meringue pie!
ReplyDeleteI hope it was yummy! The pics are great. You will appreciate my post scheduled for Monday--It's a lemon meringue pie disaster story :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pics!! Look at the concentration on his face!!!
ReplyDeleteI remember the feeling of mastering this task -what a great day that was (my mom prob felt the same, after all the eggs I practiced on!).
A Master Chef in the making. And its not an easy job separating eggs either.
