There are days and there are days and sometimes the elephant in me breaks through!
I started lucky:
My egg thought I´ll scramble it and hence it landed with intact egg yolk in the plastic cup.
I listened to my Tea and focused on that!
But then Hathi made his move. Grabbing the pan I accidentially swooshed the cup off the stove to the floor.
The egg escaped. There it sat on the tiles, looking mad at me.
Quick like a lightning bolt I grabbed it and put it back into the cup.
It was that surprised it forgot to break!
And this, my friends, is why there is so little egg-white, as much of it only found it´s way to the bin.
Yay for more or less clean floors!
And I never would´ve guessed you can grab a raw egg with your hand from the floor without destroying it!
I guess we were both surprised...
Sweet Dr. Wladimir Klitschko says will power is the biggest power, ha, egg, I had it, too!
I told my T and jokingly asked if I should better stay home, to which he wrote, "go outside, play Lotte!" I asked if Corinna is allowed to join, too, LOL!
So, Lotte, Corinna and I will play, maybe catch?
I love autocorrect! :-)
I had to laugh so hard, my belly hurt!
So, meet
She was a lady in the 70´s and wears clothes I´d love to wear still!
Got her from an old magazine and set her on watercolor-paper.
Maybe we won´t play catch after all, I´ll keep practicing that with eggs, maybe better...
Taking part in Elizabeth and Bleubeard´s "T Stands For Tuesday".
Henry?
He hides in the tea-pics :-)

I like Lotte, but can't find Henry
Henry on in the glass by the tea :-)
Brown on brown he hides a bit, he´s shy today...
I wouldn't be so lucky if I dropped an egg, so I'm always super careful. The eggs I buy aren't cheap so I can't afford to waste one.
I would´ve never guessed I get it back in one piece - and I will not try that again! Right, I´ll follow your example and go from careful to super careful!
You ate the egg from the floor? I wouldn't have done that but my floor is perhaps not that clean! Colourful page! Happy T Day, I have to go to the dentist! Valerie
Yupp, was more or less clean, LOL. Plus, we have to eat dirt sometimes, right ;-)
Ewwwww, dentist! Good luck!
...you sure like pepper!
Actually that´s dry basil and oregano, too :-)
You remind me of our dog, who lived almost 18 years but died many years ago. Once I dropped an egg the way you did, and she lapped it up with joy. I hope I never drop another egg, as my floor isn't as clean as yours. Clean floors are not a dog's concern.
be well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
:-) you sure made laugh!
Runny Eggs And Toast, Beautiful Combination - Stay Strong My Dear - Stay Strong
Cheers
Lotte is veryhappy! I'm a great proponent of the five second rule -- if it hits the floor for five seconds or less (and ok, to be honest and if the floor isn't too much of a mess) it gets eaten. There are exceptions, of course, but yours stayed intact! Well done, Iris1
I saw Henry standing strong in the T pics. Nice. I can't believe your yolk didn't break. Through all of that falling on the floor and getting picked back up. It is one tough yolk. I looks yummy by the way. Hope you are having a super T day. hugs-Erika
Padre yes, very yummy :-)
Cheers to you!
____
Jeanie, yes, I was really lucky. I guess, I acted that quick I had no closer inspection of the tiles, but found nothing "crunchy", so it must´ve been more or less clean ;-)
____
Erika, yes, I couldn´t believe it, either, especially the pick-up!!! Yay to tough yolks and a happy T-day to you, hugs-Iris
Your egg story was very funny, Iris!
Very fun Lotte page.
Happy T-Day! Hugs, Eileen xx
you always crack me up with your funny stories. I have never dropped an egg I was able to pick up intact- good for you! Love the Lotte art. Happy T day!
Oh I have so enjoyed reading this post. I would have had to get out the bucket to clean up the egg if that had happened to me. You did have luck on your side to pick it up and then get it cooked.
Stay safe.
happy T day wishes.
Yvonne xx
Eileen, yes, I thought it´s worth sharing, also as I don´t play Lotto, but my T really does. A happy T-day, hugs xx
____
Linda, you´re welcome :-) Happy T-day!
____
Yvonne, occasionaly I eat dirt, just kidding. It was pure luck! A happy t-day to you Iris xx
Lucky catch with the egg :)
I like your colourful artworks Iris :)
Eggs are cheap here, so I would have thrown that egg out and cooked another one.
The egg looks delicious :) I usually scramble, but this has me wanting sunny side up :) Yummmmm! Happy T Tuesday
Too funny! you seized the egg & the day! Enjoy
Too funny! you seized the egg & the day! Enjoy
Sami, yes, it was but luck! :-)
Well, artwork, it´s more gaming around...
____
gigi, no, dunno. I grew up in a pre-war-family, no wasting of food...
____
Divers and Sundry, "sunny side up" is a funny name for it, I like it! Happy T-day!
____
Karen, yes, I did!!! :-)
I got a big “FAIL” on your video game here because I couldn’t find Henry ))). Your egg scoop up off the floor made me laugh. We abide by the 10 second rule here ... if it hits the floor but you pick it up quickly, you eat it ! (My mom taught me that and I raised my kids that way. It’s not scientifically correct, but who with four children to feed can afford to throw away a perfectly good food? We all survived...and I bet that back then my floors weren’t as clean as yours are.).
:-) Henry is shy today, he is on the glass in brown on the brown tea :-)
Yep, we all ate/eat dirt sometimes, right? At least there were no chrunchy somethings!
My apologies for visiting so late. My internet went out last night and didn't come back on until a few minutes ago. It often happens when it rains, but it's been so dry here, I didn't realize it would be a problem.
I can't believe that egg didn't break on contact. I've had eggs land on the floor and break all over the place. Cleaning them up was the worst.
Henry looks SO handsome on that glass with the tea. Thanks for sharing your egg debacle and your tea and Henry with us for T this Tuesday.
Funny story, Iris. After reading it, I couldn't get this song outta my mind by Paul Simon.
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away
Have a great evening, Iris and keep on smiling.:)
Elizabeth, oh boy, internet down AGAIN??? How annoying!
Yes, toughest or surpeised egg ever, LOL. And yes, getting the remaining egg-white off the tiles was a pain, like glue it stuck!
Henry says thank you, now he blushed and is rather red ;-)
____
Bill, I won´t look up that song, that´ll be just another earworm I´ll have to live through! :-)
Egg was really unsuccessful, according to those lines! A nice evening to you, yay, summer is here!
Oh love seeing your art Iris!!! You know I have always been a fan of your sketches so seeing you work with color this time is a delight! I think the way you cook the eggs is the best as I wanted it to be. I want the yolk so still be liquidy so I can put it over steamed rice, YUMM!!
Late Hugs for Tuesday dearest Iris!
Yep, the yolk is still runny, I love that, too, Stevenson! For going with rice I usually scramble them but reckon I try your idea next time :-)
Yes, I learn from the ladies here, got some color and all, it´s fun playing around.
Some hugs back to you, dear Stevenson! Corinna still sits here impatiently... Some cities here go into lock-down again, it´s crazy!
I'll happily join you for the eggy meal and I'm loving the lion on your cup - fabulous 😁. Such gorgeous hot summery art too - perfect! Wishing you a wonderful week and a Happy T Day! Take care! Hugs Jo x
Great photos and artwork. Your egg looks delicious, even if you lost part of it. I always enjoy seeing a lion when I visit. Happy T-Day!
Amazing that you were quick enough to scoop the egg back from the floor! And it didn't break! You were lucky.
I spotted Henry on the tea glass and the Maté tea sounds great. As does the FACE challenge (Focus, agility, coordination and endurance) I'm afraid I don't have much of any of those, but we plod on...
Happy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
To answer your comment about the water: Yes, we get mains water from the council, but this is out in the fields. And as one is not allowed to irrigate with drinking water, we have to do it with water from the well. Our climate is so dry that everything that grows needs to be irrigated with a system of pipes along the ground. That's what it's for.
Jo, thank you, a happy T-day to you :-)
Summer, yay, right!
____
Anne I´m symall - th eegg was enough, and Henry feeds of our love, just like yours...
___
Lisca, I´ll try my best on the Dr, too, not good at it, but his smile made me smile :-)
Water-wise so different to what we have here!
We have the Innerste Dam where we get all water from, the one for cooking, the one for the toilet - what a waste!
I love what you did with Lotte!
Love and dragonflies-I love that-hugs and Happy T
Sorry about the whites finding their way to the bin. Looks pretty what you have on the plate, though.
This has been an enjoyable post. Save the egg, and cook it up. Have a nice midweek.
Have you ever watched Myth Busters? It is an American show where they test common myths. The '3 second rule' is what I thought about when you said you picked up your egg off the floor. They tested the 3 second rule in an episode and they said it is a myth because if your surface is contaminated, it happens immediately on contact. I say, it builds immunity. I hate to waste food so if it didn't have visible dirt on it, I probably would have rinsed it off and ate it.
Love your colorful artwork this week!
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
I forgot to mention something you touched on in your comment today. As for smoke free, we've only had that ordinance a few years. You are allowed to smoke at outside tables if the restaurant permits it. Many smokers know where to go and favor those places with their business.
And shortly after I visited you, my internet went out a SECOND time.
Your hands are nimble catching eggs that I think are still hot😁.
How does the egg fall on the floor, is it still delicious?
The egg story cracked me up 😺. A very handsome Henry. Take care and Happy T Day
I am piky on my poached eggs
Kathy, yes, both are beautiful - hugs :-)
____
Happy Whisk, yes, was like glue!
____
Nicole, you´re welcome, and yep, egg saved - and munched down.
____
Kate, I love Myth Busters! And I agree with you, it builds immunity, we need to eat dirt sometimes :-)
No unnessecary food-wasting, and to Tea (Apple-cinnamon atm).
____
Elizabeth, yes, outside you´re allowed to smoke here, too, I think everywhere...
WHAT. A second time?!!! You have overland lines?
____
Himawan Sant, I accidentially swooped it off the table with my elbow, still raw and cold in a cup - I´d never touch anything hot!
And, yupp, was yummy :-)
____
CJ, me, too, just not the egg, luckily :-) Henry says thank you!
____
Dora, me, also, hence I was happy it stayed intact.
Oh you made me laugh with your egg rescue Iris, we call that the 5 second rule, if you can get it off the floor fast it's all good 😀
Grace, yes, a bit of dirt is no harm, right! :-)
The weird thing was it stayed intact!!!
Well saved!! I love eggs cooked any way! Henry looks very handsome on that glass! Belated Happy T day, Chrisx
Good meal Iris !! sometimes we cook sandwiches with lots of eggs, salad, mayonesa, cucumbers, cheese,.... oohhh, that´s so good!
Your page is amazing, lovely and happy. I adore the dragonflies!
Hope you spent a very happy T-day, sorry I´m late.
Have a great Thursday !
Big hugs, Caty
Chris, egg and especially Henry say thnk you :-) Irisx
____
Caty, I love such sandwiches, too - guess you just gave me an idea for a rainy summer weekend, we haven´t had this in a while! Big hugs and... the dragonflies are only 3-d-stickers... Big hugs from here! :-)
