However I added about a 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest to the egg mixture. Also I made a glaze for it

Juice of one lemon

zest of one lemon

1 Tbs butter/margerine

Powdered Sugar

I did not measure the powdered sugar I used but add enough for a good drizzle consistency. This make a wonderful tart sweet glaze.

Marinated pork

I needed something differant and my pantry was low I had some thick cut pork chops in the refridgerater so I just sarted putting stuff on my lil cup thing that came with my braun hand blender I started with about a 1/4 cup Lea & Perrins White Wine Worcestershire sauce, the put in about a about 1 tsp of Garlic Powder, and 1/4 tsp each of thyme, rosemary, sage,  and some ground poultry seasoning and some dry mustard ran the hand blender the put in so oil maybe 1/4 cup  and some soy sauce about 1/4 to 1/2 cup…. tasted it thought hum needs something so I added 1 or 2 Tbs of maple syrup….

I put the 4 thick pork chops in a large zip lock bag…. poured the marinade over them sealed it up and massaged them to coat them well and put them in the fridge to wait for later to cook…. I have not cooked this yet os if it turns out to be a failure oh well I tried something new Huh… LOL

Cheesey Bagel Broil

I started making an open face bagel with cheddar cheese, and Garlic powder in the broiler until dark brown or at least till its nice an bubbly… then my older son started putting lunch meat under the cheese…  and later my youngest started putting cooked bacon on it… I prefer onion bagels but my kids like the cheese tortilla kind you can get at Costco…
So this is what I do I turn on my broiler then slice a bagel put on about 3 slices of thinly sliced lunch meat (any kind) top it with slices of cheddar cheese, then sprinkle it with garlic powder, place on cookie sheet the place directly under burners of the broiler. Watch it carefully cause the garlic powder has a tendency to burn… when nice an bubbly and starting to form a thin crust of cheese pull from broiler… take care when eating it will be hot
