Blueberry pancakes

If you need easy-to-peel eggs and you have fresh eggs, you might want to try steaming the eggs for 15 minutes. Pour an inch of water into a pot and insert a steamer basket. Bring to a boil. Place the eggs in the steamer basket, cover and steam for 15 minutes). The steam penetrates the shell a bit making the eggs easier to peel.

Dijon dressing

• 6 Tablespoons Olive Oil
• 2 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
• 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove garlic, smashed and chopped fine
• Pinch each of fresh ground black pepper and kosher salt for seasoning

Pour all ingredients into a salad dressing carafe and give it a good shake. Pairs nicely with hard boiled eggs.

Hampton Flag

Not sure if I ever posted this, but it belongs here. Hilton wanted us to create individual flags for our hotels to represent our community. They were displayed at the global Hilton general manager conference. Ours did not win any trophies, but I was proud of it anyhow. The pink towers represent Malley's Chocolate Factory, the leg for The Christmas Story House, and the footballs for the Browns.
