Memorial Day

[susandennis]

We didn't have Memorial Day when I was growing up in the south. My freshman year in a Yankee college, kids started making Memorial Day plans in January. I was really confused.

During my working years, I learned to love it for the long weekend.

Now it just means that the gym will open late on Monday. I'm such a sentamentalist.

I made cheesy egg muffins today that were ok. I hadn't made any in a long time and lost my touch. BUT I only made 6 and my tongue reminded me of where I went wrong (needed more cheese, cayenne pepper (I added a little siracha but that didn't work), and less time in the oven.

Here's the recipe I'll use this weekend for 6 muffins:

I use large silcone muffin cups and put a half a strip of bacon in each and nuke for 1 min.

Then I mix up the following and evenly divide it into cups. This will rise so better to have 7 cups then fill to the top.

6 eggs
2(ish) cups shredded cheese
3/4th(ish) cups Bisquick
1/4th to 1/2(ish) cup heavy cream
healthy dose of caynne

350 degree oven for 30 mins. These beauties freeze beautifully.

It used to be called Decoration Day.

Ohh right! But still ignored in the South where we were still pulling out the party hats for Jefferson Davis' birthday.

And because the origin of the holiday had to do with remembering fallen Civil War soldiers, presumably only from the Union side.

Yeah, I think even in the 60's the South wasn't all that interested in honoring dead Yankees.

Aw I'm jealous that your gym at least opened on Memorial Day. Mine was closed.

Nice egg muffin recipe! Ours is about the same, but with onions and peppers, and no Bisquick.

My gym is open every day except Christmas Day and New Year's Day. On most holidays they don't open until 8 but at least they do open and it's so nice.
