The Difference an Egg Makes

Or does it?

Lately, I’ve been in the habit of adding an egg white to my oatmeal.  Why?  So I can further increase my cholesterol level, of course.

Kidding.  I’ve heard egg whites turn regular oatmeal into a creamy dreamy delight.  Okay, maybe those exact words weren’t used but you get the point. 

I’ve been loving on this egg-y technique all week (ooh, rhyming!), but it occurred to me that maybe the egg white wasn’t making my oatmeal fluffier or creamier and so what if those two words mean the same thing, I can use both if I want. 

The only way to know for sure was to do a side by side comparison.

Pre egg whitage.

Post egg whitage.

I have to be honest folks, I’m not seeing much of a difference here.

Gah, and I was so sure it was making a difference!  This is what we call the placebo effect.

But we all know the toppings are the important part anyways.

This week my sister asked me, “How do you decide what to put on your oats?  I have a hard enough time picking out what socks to wear.”

Maybe that’s why she missed the bus today.

Anyways, dear sister, who says you have to pick and choose?  I just put it all

And the most important element is the tiny spoon, of course.  P.S. are you loving the bright colors going on in these pictures?  I am, very Spring-ish.

Things to do this weekend:

• Trivia
• Return half the clothes I bought yesterday…
• Get a massage
• LOTS of paper writing/editing
• Breakfast with my long lost brother and SIL (it’s been too long!)

Have a good one, friends!
