Food Fight Friday - No Strings Attached
Hope I got your attention here all contenders - this is not some exotic dish I'm using as my cover photo; no I'm introducing you to a beauty called No Strings Attached. She is the work of our super talented friend Peter Wink.
Why would I show this to our Food Fight Friday contenders? Well I think beauty such as this should not be hidden from the world; this lady here would certainly turn heads if she were to enter into the fff arena not so.
Are women not the mothers of all nations? The salt of the earth some call us; and we all know just how tasteless food is without this mineral! Yes I know we all call it seasoning but seasoning it certainly is not!
I'm really rambling on tonight but hey, I'm a tad nervous as I have to step into the fff arena in only about an hour or so!
Anyone feel like having an egg fight tonight, aka egg tapping or egg boxing?
I can just see the mess in the fff kitchen afterwards but hey, we need to liven up the arena now don't we! No cheating though and no using guinea hen eggs which have harder shells!
I'm cheating here, these are pebbles not eggs, they will never break!
Who is going to break the most eggs tonight and be the egg boxing champion and whose egg is going to be smashed to smithereens?

I must quickly tell you a little story - my son had a friend whose nickname was Eier (Egg in Afrikaans) as his mother always gave him hard-boiled eggs in his lunchbox, we all know the pong that can produce!
So one day the school teacher wrote a note to Eier's mom and said 'Eier did not blah blah blah...'
Well this mother did not like her son's nickname, so promptly wrote a letter back to the teacher and signed it 'Hen'!
She used very colourful words when she relayed this little story and said that if her son is called an Egg then surely she must be a Hen!
No guessing that my contribution to the mess tonight is going to be all about eggs, which I have been cooking a heck of a lot lately with all the breakfasts for our students at daybreak before the sun is even up!
I know I'm rubbing it in, but I'm really not a morning person!!! But photos I do take regularly, hubby knows not to tuck in or deliver the food before he's asked that question - have you taken your photos?
FUN & GAMES WITH EGGS
This was hubby's breakfast put together one morning with all the leftovers and did he look worried when I put this in front of him; I mean he's on the wrong side of sixty; not a wee little six year old;)
Hubby again was the guinea pig as I was really out of ideas and tried to make a quick one pan breakfast which he enjoyed being a lover of cheesy sausages.
Bell Pepper rings make the perfect container for fried eggs and really taste delicious with the eggs.
Shall I show you another fight I have regularly, talk about organised chaos!
This is what our guest cottage looks like when we do linen changeovers in between guests in a hurry!
Each bed's linen neatly packaged in shopping bags, ready to go onto the beds in a jiffy and then it's getting the soiled linen looking spic and span again. We always hope and pray for sunny weather as tumble drying is way too costly plus we have an energy crisis here in our country!
I'm digressing again!
How about an inside outside cheesy veggie omelette?
A sunny-side-up hearty breakfast.
How about an egg cheese burger breakfast?
An egg in a hole can be dressed up or served as is.
And last but not least a simple soft boiled egg, the easiest one of them all!
So guys and dolls, I hope you're all ready to step into the ring now we have some sustenance, I'm looking forward to seeing what you bring along tonight for the guys from #foodfightfriday - @jlsplatts, @dandays and @idig!

I will take one of each, and the first egg face for Mr. Bird please, lol I am a huge egg lover, a buttery sourdough egg sandwich will make me quite happy. Now you have me in the mood for eggs and I just finished a salad mind you, lol You work so hard @lizelle, I had to chuckle and share with my hubby the comment about waiting to eat until pics are done. He always tells our friends, he has to wait to eat until the photos are done! I love it! Its the least they cand do right? Btw...love that sculpture, nice work to your friend!! xx
LOL we're two peas in a pod aren't we, you made me chuckle with this;) Our husbands both know where their bread is buttered don't they, so waiting for the photo shoot has become a way of life in the Birds' kitchen and here at Lily's Cottage;) Hubby often even joins into taking pics;);) I just looove sourdough bread!
Salt of the earth—agreed. A lot of people think everything’s better with lime on it too, though, so..... Sweet as a like for me, please! Anywho..
What in the heck did I just read?! Was that a super heavy guitar I saw on the cover? Great contender chef.
I was sold at Vienna sausage @lizelle, I haven’t seen one of those in forever, my grandfather used to eat those all the time like you take cool face-having pictures with eggs.
Oh boy does my hubby love those cheesy viennas, he's just like your grandpa, forever digging into the fridge!
Ain't that guitar lady just gorgeous? Our friend is super talented just like the one reading this now!
I saw your art for the first time, you really have a talent Mr Dandays! Dying to see your painting of your beloved @puravidaville!

Has anyone told you how sweet you are lately?
Thank you @lizelle, I really appreciate that. Just seeing people call it “art” is still tough to accept and get used to.
Hope you’re having a great weekend, chef!

you're welcome!
What a great piece of art work. I wonder what kind of wood Peter Wink used for this piece?
I checked out his link, and this guy is super talanted.
Eggs an all time favorite. They are good any time of day, and some of your creations are very imaginative. Love the egg in the ring of pepper, will give that one a try.
Great entry @lizelle
I'm sure you'll enjoy the peppery egg, it's a great combo.
Peter's artwork is beautiful, his wife needs to add a lot more to his page. As far as the wood he used in this piece, the body is stinkwood, the neck imbuia and tamboti and the base is also imbuia (Brazilian walnut).
We've been blessed with a number of his work, some which I've shared from time to time in posts.
Thank you so much for the nice comments @thebigsweed!
I have heard of stinkwood and Brazilian walnut, but have never heard of the other two types of wood.
He is truly an artist. Being a woodworker myself, I have a real appreciation for his work. Here is a live edge table I recently finished. The top is from Black Oak and the base is a piece of Black Cherry crouch wood.
This is a lovely piece of furniture, you're a real craftsman yourself, sure to become an heirloom! Thanks for sharing, I have only seen your #fff posts, do you share your work here as well? Wood is just a beautiful medium! Tamboti is a local wood, I they also make jewellery boxes with that.

Good morning, yes I do put all different posts out there. A lot of homesteading blogs and different projects that I have made from wood. Here is a garden ornament that I made from a stump and root-ball from a tree that had blown down last year.
It's great to see the beauty in something someone else would have just discarded, it's a lovely garden feature! You're also an artist then;)
This is so awesome and beautiful and makes me hungry and laugh, this must be a post of the Queen of Sandwiches... hahaha! Thanks my friend for this excellent article! This is a C² for sure...
LOL glad you enjoyed it Sir;) I do miss those sandwiches, I'm a queen without an empire at the moment;);)
Posted using Partiko Android
I just thought, may we should just post some sandwiches from time to time under the contest hash... Like jagoe the other day! What do you think? Ready to take back your empire? ;) hehe
Good idea Sir, I will do just that!
Thanks a lot Ma'm... Looking forward to that. Gonna do the same soon!
What a cool piece of art I love his style, and what a cool creative selection of egg dishes :)
His sculptures are absolutely gorgeous, this is my favourite piece! Glad you enjoyed the eggy post my friend!
Posted using Partiko Android
he sure has a creative mind and style, as for the eggs, they did make me hungry but what I remember now is you mentioned your hubby likes the Cheesy Hot dogs I havent had them in ages but I want to go and buy some today LOL
LOL, Enjoy them:)

Ohh I have no doubt I will
What a fantastic post, love, love, love the wood sculpture . So beautiful, as a woman that married not only a carpenter, but an artist with wood, I so appreciate how much work goes into that kind of beauty. Thanks so much for sharing. Have a brilliant weekend.
Thank you so much @farm-mom, his work is amazing! I saw some of your husband's work, a master craftsman himself, love that coffee table he made! Enjoy your weekend too:)
