Freddie´s "E" & Eggcups

 
 
Saw this at our - how my T and I always say ALDIschönenSachen ("all the nice things" ALDI is pronounced like "all die" (LOL - no one dies here!! "die" is "the" in German! - "all the", it´s pronounced like "dee")).
 
Can someone explain the logic to me?
I always thought eggs came from chicken? And that name (MooMoo) in German is often used by prude parents for explaining girls have a vagina.

Eggs, anyone?
 
Not found in the street, the eggs, but LOOK! What I found again!!!!
 

 Can you believe this?!


Corinna, hey, you get the best out of people! Much better than cows, eh?
Who the heck throws out such beautiful eggcups?! There were four, I took the two and then Ingo later reminded me I tend to accidentially break things.
D'oh. Maybe for once I should´ve taken all four?

But that would not be fair...
Better I learn to be extra-super-mega-careful, right.

And Freddie (From the book Freddie Mercury A to Z.):


  Henry 🦁... "you did not. You did?! Order this?!! You are crazy. You´ll need a bigger place."

Sorry, Henry, I just could not resist. Also, I mean... if you.... 

When cows hold eggs, then Lions bake the rest for your brekkie.

And in a minute I´ll have pickled eggs (well, one - and a carrot), hmmmm. Made the eggs two days ago, hope they are ready! 


Yesterday - and maybe today!!! - it was warm enough for enjoying books (plural, LOL) on the balcony! 

One is.... 
 
 
 
It comes with stories, comparing food to Ferrari-cars  and all! I sure giggled a bit reading this.
It´s not only a cook-book, it´s about Italy, Tuscany, mainly, where we had one of the best holidays, too!

You learn a lot first-hand of Italian culture, the people. Well, it´s Jamie, after all, right?

And no. I´m not paid saying this. He´s just a brilliant, fun writer and chef.
And I enjoy this book immensly.
 
The other is on Einstein and CO, rather heavy brain-food, LOL - and yes, I read such stuff "for fun".


You understand how their brains work, I can´t get "dumber" going through this, right.

Please wish me luck - weather-wise. The books are waiting!

And the sport, taxes. And bank-stuff, and an application. Can´t believe I did all this also driving 1 1/2 hours to/fro work plus working 8 hours!

Frankly... I want to retire for good...
 
ADDENDUM - River said... what would we  do having such clever brains like Einstein & Co. 
I think we would make the world a better place! Thank you, dear friend, for the thought!

                            


"Heal the World
(Think about um, the generations
And ah, say we want to make it a better place for our children
And our children's children so that they, they
They, they know it's a better world for them
And think if they can make it a better place)
 
There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place it was brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel there's no hurt or sorrow
 
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place
 
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me, and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
 
If you want to know why
There's love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of joyful giving
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear of dread, we stop existing and start living
 
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
Make a better world
So make a better world
 
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me, and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
 
And the dream we were conceived in will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify its soul?
Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly
Be god's glow
 
We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into plowshares
 
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place
 
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me, and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me, and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
 
Heal the world (heal the world)
Make it a better place
For you and for me, and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
 
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
 
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
 
You and for me (for a better place)
You and for me (make a better place)
You and for me (make a better place)
You and for me (heal the world we live in)
You and for me (save it for our children)
You and for me (heal the world we live in)
You and for me (save it for our children)
You and for me (heal the world we live in)
You and for me (save it for our children)
You and for me (heal the world we live in)
You and for me (save it for our children)"

From eggs to this, huh?
Blogging, and blogger-friends :-)
And love, people, love is brain as well.
Working things out.

Don´t you agree?

I certainly don't understand how their brains work, I wish I did, I wish I was smarter from the beginning, no good wishing for it now, what would I do with a brain suddenly smarter at my age? anyway, I'm smart enough to do the puzzles in the daily newspaper, that's good enough and my math is good enough that my budget always works out right.

Iris Flavia said...

Oh, yes, what would we do having Einstein´s brain?!!!
The world would be a better place! Oh, thank you, brain, now I have an earworm! "And the world, would be a better place... for you ... and me... just seeeee".
I´ll add this, thank you!

Tom said...

...I LOVE ALDI and I pronounce it "all dee" oh well. I love eggs, but eating them in an egg cup isn't my thing! Henry is so tiny today.

My name is Erika. said...

Those cows are cute, but do people really use egg cups? I guess some people do, but not me. I'm not that fussy. But if you like cows I see no issue putting eggs in them. And I haven't seen that Jamie Oliver book, but I'm with you about Tuscany. Hope you're having a great day! hugs-Erika

PerthDailyPhoto said...

Oh my you do find lovely things along the way Iris, the blue and white egg cups are super. You just have to show us where you put the HUGE poster when it arrives 😉 Bohemian Rhapsody is a masterpiece, Freddie was unbelievably talented 💜

Nancy Chan said...

Cute cows. I won't buy them for myself but maybe as presents to give away. I like the patterns on the bowl and the egg cups. I would be clumsy using the egg cup. Beautiful song by Michael Jackson.

William Kendall said...

My parents had egg cups but never used them.

Iris Flavia said...

Tom, Henry is inside, baking :-)

____

Erika, yes, how do you eat a fresh 6-minutes egg on a Sunday?
Well cow or not, we have great ones now and I´m on the balcony again soon!

___

Grace, I hope (....!) I didn´t order it that big, that poster! I´m a bit in panic mode already!!! LOLk Thanks to Corinna it will take a while anyways!

___

Nancy, yes, I´ll be extra careful with the cups!
Not a fan of Jackson, but I really do like this song...

____

William, we used other stuff, but now.... l,ooking forward to a Sunday-egg in this!

Charlotte (MotherOwl) said...

Löwenbäcker great Henry, and now you have me yearning for German cakes and bread. My favourite was the Kartoffelbrot (potato bread) and Zuckerkuchen. We bought them at the local Plant marked, where there was a cafe cum bakery. Or at the Back-factory - do they still exist, I wonder. Now I stop before I go eating the German cookbook ;)

magiceye said...

The egg cups and the bowl make a pretty set indeed!

Iris Flavia said...

Charlotte, the Back-Factory still exists, and it´s a name that drives me NUTS!
Back-Fabrik, or Baking Factory, but THIS...

Back = Rücken!!! Do they produce human "Rücken" there?!
Getting old and grumpy ;-)

____

magiceye, yes :-)

gigi-hawaii said...

Oooo, I love those egg cups, too. David bought two for himself, as I rarely eat eggs. His cups are white, but they do the job. Love blue and white, my favorite color combination. Enjoy your books.

RedPat said...

I have egg cups but have never used them. Those ones you got are lovely.

Jeanie said...

Those egg cups are fantastic. I've never used them for food service but to display Easter eggs! I adore those.

We all it All-dee!

Books, summer, good things from the street. It sounds terrific!

CJ Kennedy said...

The blue china egg cups and bowls are so pretty! I would have gone back for the other 2 egg cups. So Eier for men and MooMoo for women. What an education I'm getting! 😺

Spare Parts and Pics said...

"All-Die" made me laugh!!

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

As someone who took a year of German in high school and remember NONE of uit, I knew the DIE was dee, not dye. LOVE those new to you egg cups. You are SO lucky to find things on the street.

Eggs , More Eggs, And Eggs All Around - Entertaining Post - Be Well

Cheers

I've never tried pickled eggs but I will see if we can get them here, I'm sure we had those china bowls when I was growing up.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, eggs and MooMoo, you all brought it to the point :-)

Amy, pickled eggs I´ve never seen in a store.
I use this (Ingo´s) recipe:
cook 10 eggs for say... depending on the size 6 1/2-7 minutes, so they´re still a bit soft.

Take about 45g salt, 2 tbsp mustard seeds, 1 tbsp pepper-corn, 2 bay leafs and... just for good looking black tea, say 2 tbsp, put that in enough water to later cover the eggs (that you let cool down, otherwise they get hard!).

Cook the mix for 5 minutes, let it cool.
Take a spoon and crack the eggshells, but leave them on, then put the eggs into the cooled water-mix.
After 2 days give it a first taste, and when tasty replace most of the mix with plain, cold water, otherwise the taste gets too strong.

I think it´s tasty and eggs are very healthy. A mini-bit of work, but eggs for 10 days :-)
For me, as Ingo somehow doesn´t like eggs anymore.. Men, huh..

DVArtist said...

I really like the egg set. You should have taken all 4. Also pickled eggs are just NOT my thing.
