I tried an experiment today and unfortunately it failed. I guess it wasn't a total failure because I learned from my mistakes. So, what to do with the undesired results?

I got the idea to make Scottish eggs again. I had made them a number of years ago. They turned out pretty good. So, I thought I could make them again. I looked at several recipes and thought I could just wing it. I was wrong.

I believe that I did everything right except the sausage was too wet. When it was in the oven, as it cooked, the sausage pulled away from the eggs and left areas exposed. They will still taste good I am sure, but they are not right cosmetically.

Next time I will not add water like one of the recipes suggested.

Now for the daily update so far.

Z got up this morning not feeling well. She threw up in the kitchen and several times thought she was going to be sick. So far she seems OK but she and H felt hot so I have them Motrin.


leaning every day or we will never get this place in order. Especially if we have to move. I would like to start on the garage as soon as possible. Maybe tomorrow. Today I will try and work on the inside.

I tasted my attempt at making Scottish eggs. They taste really good. Even H had
one. The only problem is when eaten, the sausage falls off so you have to hold it on to get bites containing egg and meat.

I worked on my short story, "The Dream" yesterday. I wrote a few paragraphs but nothing substantial. I think this writing thing is just another thing that I fail at. That is what I do best.

I took poor old Sam for a walk a little while ago. She did pretty well, but was
a little slow. She stumbled a time or two though. I have had her for thirteen years now. According to the Humane Society where we got her, she was already two years old. That would make her fifteen. She really likes walks, but because of her back legs, I probably will walk her every other day. Any more than that would be too much, I think.
