I didn't go to Church today. I have a cough which seems to be developing into a cold. I hope it will not get as bad as the one I had in November. So, anyway, here I am on my blog again. In my previous blog, I told you about my experience in High School about having to cook Scrambled Eggs and Brains. This morning I looked on line and Lo and Behold, I found several recipes. I am going to post this recipe for you in case you want to try it out on your family and friends. (Maybe they will not be your friends afterward)

SCRAMBLED EGGS & CALF'S BRAINS (This is a tradional appetizer in Hungary)

1 lb. Calf's Brain
1 Medium onion, diced
2 TBS. Butter
1/2 teas. White Pepper
1/2 teas. Paprika
3 Eggs
1 teas. Salt: approximately

Soak Brains in cold water, and peel off the membrane. Drop brains into boiling water for 1 minute, then remove. Dry brains and scrape with a knife, reducing them to a rough pulp. Cook onion in butter over low heat for about 10 minutes. Add pepper, paprika, and brains to the onion and continue to cook, covered, over very low heat for about 10 minutes. Beat eggs as for scrambling, just before serving, mix with the brains, making a soft scrambled egg out of the mixture. Be sure to mix brains and eggs thoroughly. The texture should be almost like a creamy Risotto, not like HARD scrambled eggs. Add salt to taste. Serves four.

( A Risotto is a creamy rice dish) The recipe doesn't say how long to soak them in cold water.

It has been a long time since I was in High School, but some memories never leave you.

My mother cooked Liver and Onions, which I never ate either but my dad liked them.

I have cooked a lot of Liver and Onions because your dad loved them. Oddly enough, Richard said that last week he and Dan went out to eat when Richard had gone over to Graham to
visit him. Richard said he could not believe it when Dan ordered Liver and Onions.
Dan told Richard that Liver and Onions were one of his favorite dishes. Richard said he
used to watch your dad eat Liver and Onions and wondered how people could eat them.

Strange World! My youngest son, Dan, is so much like his dad in all kinds of ways.

Here is a picture of nice looking food.
