Hello Hello Silverites and fellow bees in the Hive
It is that time of the month again. What do I mean, I hear you say!
It is #BoM time for the awesome community that is Silver Bloggers
This month the theme is Sandwich Memories and this will be my entry.
Please note the Public Service Announcement: I have eaten dinner and no stomachs were hurt in the writing of this entry.
My immediate memories when we talk about sandwich memories are childhood.
So let's hit the fast rewind button and zoom back to when I was 10.
That was when I got sent to boarding school and my parents and siblings would relocate from Edinburgh to The Orkney Islands off the North of Scotland. As it was only for a year and I was unphasable they asked if I wanted to switch from being a dayboy to a boarder for a year.
Why not I thought.
Well blimey, nobody said the food at breakfast and dinner would be even worse than school lunches 🤣🤣🤣
The housekeeper would take pity on us. She would leave bread out and we could make sandwiches for ourselves.
However, she would only buy the two most foul tasting things for a ten old to taste and that is Lemon Curd and Sandwich Spread!
I thought about creating a sandwich for this contest. Over the years I have made many sorts and I love to cook which all stemmed from being straved basically as a boarder for six years!
I thought about making one of my home made burgers like @fionasfavourites loves to tease us with
but I didn't.
Thinking of @artywink I thought about making one of my egg mayo baps that I make at three in the morning when my arthritis flareup makes sleep impossible
but I didn't.
I thought about making an avocado and scrambled egg open sandwich inspired by @eylz619
but I didn't.
Then at lunchtime today I had a Eureka moment.
I love to live in the Now and so I decided to make my KISS sandwich inspired by @coquicoin as she has never eaten a duck egg!
You might know KISS as Keep It Simple Sweetheart or Keep It Simple Stupid.
For me in this post of course a KISS is actually a Keep It Simple Sandwich 🥪😀🥚🍳
Little did I know the memory that was about to be evoked as I ate this fried duck egg bap.
It is quite ironic as I was eating this KISS of mine, I realised that I am now living in Kirkcaldy a town in Fife. My maternal grandfather was a huge Freemason and was high up in the Scottish hierarchy. Being a retired hot shot banker he was the Grand Treasurer of the Scottish Freemasons back in the days when they were really popular. When he passed away in a smaller town close to St Andrews, there was a memorial service conducted here in Kirkcaldy and I was 14 at the time. I just remember all these people standing outside the church as there was no room inside, but they wanted to pay their respects.
The KISS duck egg bap also took on more significance. My grandfather had cancer and was being treated at my grandparents home. I had a school friend who I was staying with not far from their house. I remember that I was frying us some hens eggs for egg baps for my friend and his mum, when she got the call saying that grandpa had passed away.
Even though we had been expecting it, it was still a shock and indeed it was a shock that I got today as I had not thought about that memory for many many years.
So there we go, even living in the Now writing for our fellow Silver Bloggers I have been transported back on an emotional memory of my grandfather.
Wishing you all a fabulous Easter.

hehe I did in the end, cheers mate :)
hi my friend - and teem leeder!!!
I need to let you know that we had a staff member who wasn't able to be a part of the group because of her schedule. She didn't want to let the teem down - so she asked if she could be dismissed. Of course I told her yes! tend to her life as she needs :)
but in order to keep it even - I'm going to step down from our group - and then ask another staff member to step down from team deraaa -i think that is Sam!
so - don't worry - we will still be in here and encouraging and having fun! but to keep the teems all with the same number - this is the adjustment!
so please just disregard my numbers for yesterday - and nothing from me today! hehehehe
but! I hope Teem Tengo go gooooooooo is doing amazing today! hehehehe I will be checking in with everyone tomorrow!!! and spreading my love!
ah okay, so one less that is fair enough, we can only do what we can do. A shame about you and Sam and the other staff member, but not to worry, I will still be visiting you all, and thanks for letting me know:)
no no - not a shame at all. hehehe we will still be here!!
and encouraging and being a part of it!
I was thinking that maybe I shoudn't have added the staff to begin with?? but then I thought nahhhh staff likes to participate too! hahahaha
but... it worked out this way- and that's ok! LOL
I will still reward the other staff! hehehe so it's a win all around :)
and I'm working on getting my star EARLY today! (just to still be working towards my goals! heheheh)
hope you are doing wonderful today you mad Scotsman! hahahahahahahaha
Of course you should have added the staff too, there should never be an Us and Them attitude in something fun!
Well done getting your tasks done early, I am always later in the day and evening.
I am alive so by default am doing wonderful without even trying Dreemy :)
Enjoy your day😁
ahhhhh i agree - dreem teem has no separators hehehehe

hehehehe....this is what I was eating!!!! and you showed your picture too...and I was like HEYYYYYY we are eating the same thing these days! lolol
by the way...have you ever had the one with toffee added?
oh my gosh ..it's even BETTER than the original!!!! it's so so so good hahahhaha
jajaja no way!
Seriously that is so awesome.
Toffee?
I did not know they had one with toffee added, oh that does sound delicious, you have given me another Task, go and find one haha
Thanks Dreemy that is so awesome and what a small wee world we live in:)
Have a wonderfully wicked Wednesday over there :)
Mmmm...It's amazing how the good old egg sandwich pops up...sorry about the emotional memory of your grandpa, I have lots of those from my grandma, know what you feel. Love the sandwich memories. Thanks for sharing @tengolotodo have a great day.
Thanks @artywink it is strange where memories pop up.
Well eggs I think are my favourite food, you can egg them so many ways and them go with so many things as well. Thanks for visiting and Happy Easter:)
You're welcome @tengolotodo , keep safe.
Thank you and I hope you are safe from these floods the South African Silver Bloggers are talking about!
Not nice at all, hearing of to many tragedies around us, my daughters friend has died in the floods. I'm grateful we live on a hill. Thanks @tengolotodo for your concern. Keep safe.
Oh no that is terrible, with the two typhoons that hit the Philippines this month and now this cycloon it is not good. Ah I am glad you are a on a hill, nuch safer.
Thank you @tengolotodo, the whole world is going crazy. We will get over it, we have brave hearts. I'm half Scottish, we are survivors. Have a great day.☺👍
Then you finally did it with the duck egg that is looking so yummy there! Your KISS just made me really hungry!
And ooops, I forgot the 5%, I need some spanking!
It really is yummy and simple and really so so tasty😁
haha tut tut bend over CJ
I take your words for it Tito Ed! And ouch! That hurt, lol! I'll make sure not to forget next time I post.😊
haha you do that again as I enjoyed it CJ 🤣
Haha! Finally you came around! I guess you were so busy offline?
hehe oo ⚽⚽⚽🍺🍺🍺
Wow partner, you are a great cook indeed, I hope to have a taste of your dishes sometimes.
How are you going on today's challenge?, still waiting to hear from you😥😥.
Good afternoon partner, I am later to the party today. I love to cook and yes that would be good to cook for you sometime.
As for today and the challenge I am just starting and have done my quiet time, and started doing my drinking!
I am about to visit you to see how you are coming along partner :)
Oh, that is nice, so how was the party?
Yeah, I will really love to taste your meal
I'm holding up fine, I'm still trying to get my star 😅.
Oh is all good.
I am just home and about to finish my tasks.
Have you got your star now partner?
That's nice partner, I'm still trying to get my star I hope to get it before the day runs out.
You will do it partner, what have you got left to do?
I just have my Dreemport curation left.
Hello partner, how was your night?
It's a new day, what do you think about getting our star today, together? Let's do this dear. Make sure to observe your quiet time and also grab your glass of water and milk.
Hello partner, what's going on, hope everything is fine? I haven't heard from you for a whole day now. Please reply ASAP.
Hello partner, what's going on, hope everything is fine? I haven't heard from you for a whole day now. Please reply ASAP.
i love duck egg!!! hahaha but i haven't tried it on bread... looks like I've got something new to try on :)
WEll note we don't do that baluk is that the spelling!
Oh should tru on toast with avocado you will love it too!
I love eggs and bread, but I fry my eggs a bit differently I guess, a bit dryer.
I hope you are doing well today and also, I hope you have gotten a star?
Well I do love a runny yolk :)
Thank you and no not yet with my star, I am just doing my encouraging and dreemport tasks now:)
Never eaten a runny yoked egg, I don't know if I'll like it.
Anyways, I hope you complete your tasks soon, keep it up.
dip bread in the runny yolk and it is so so so delicious and yes I am nearly ready to start dreemport curation
I'll try it, maybe, I am a picky eater so I barely go out of my comfort zone.
oh you should try it , it is the best
This sounds like a wonderful motivation to cook..... It threw me off balance. But I love it.
I am deeply sorry about your grandpa and how @coquicoin brought you down this memory lane. May his soul rest in peace.
I have a feeling you are close to getting that Gold star today. If you aren't, I encourage you to do so. I am rooting for you. 💚💚
Oh no! I don't think I was the cause of triggering those memories in @tengolotodo. I can only be blamed in this post for never trying duck eggs. 🥚🦆 ;)
I hope you've achieved your star, and if you haven't, that you're close to it 😊⭐️
Lol. You inspired the KISS sandwich.... I didn't mean to make it sound as though you are to blame for the memory.... I am sorry 😔
And yes, I am one post away from getting that Gold star... Thanks for caring 🤗💚
Hehe!! Don't worry, I imagine so 😉
I'm glad to know that you are so close to that star 🤩🤗
Thank you ma'am ❤️❤️
hehe oh @coquicoin I was teasing because she has never tried a duck egg before, my mind works in mysterious ways 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 no problem sir. I completely understand.
hehe no need to say sir unless you like it 🤣🤣🤣
Haha.... I like it, seriously 😊
hehe go ahead I won't stop you 🤣🤣
Really? I hadn't noticed 😂😂🤣
haha haha yes right 🤣🤣🤣
That KISS looks nice, and you love to cook, that's nice to know.
Phew! We have 2 more days to go...
How are you keeping up with your physical activities?
Good food good life
absolutely and thank you
I think what really makes up sandwich is bread with other ingredients poured on it including eggs right? 😂😂
Perhaps I have tasted my version of sandwich which I didn't know.
How are you teem leader? I believe you are on track too?
Here is your teem member reporting for Wednesday's Challenge
I visited all our teem members excluding @b0s
I encouraged 4 dreemers from Deraaa's team while 3 dreemers from Hope's team.
And for today, I am taking my rest..... waiting for tomorrow 😍🥳🥳🥳💃💃💃
I dod love eggs, in or out of sandwiches!
Oh you did fantastic Busayo, thank you for that and now go take your rest, and get ready for a tremendous Thursday!
🤸♀️😎
I always smile reading your posts 😊😂 this is another fun write up from you, glad you have fun with writing.
Our super Teem leader, hope you got your star for today or is it still early over there? Not sure how the time works around, its 9:10pm here and I'm almost vesting my star already 😊

No star yet hehe I am yet to finish encouraging and start dreemport!

Yummy delicious! My brother raises ducks, so I frequently get ducks' eggs. They are like having two chicken eggs, isn't it, and noticeably rich!
I love your sandwich. I adhere to the KISS rule. Egg sandwiches are one of my absolutely favorite comfort foods to eat. Thanks for showing yours off!
Looks delish!
Oh wow, you are so lucky, I bet they taste absolutely amazing. I remember lived in Orkney years ago and this old couple had ducks and gave us eggs whenever we wanted, and they absolutely out of this world.
The KISS rule is the best, and eggs really are one of myfavourite foods, comfort or otherwise, they are so versatile and so darn tasty.
My please for showing it off.
Happy Easter Denise :)

Here is Teem Deraaa cheering and wishing you well. Hope you observed your quiet moment today? What about your personal goal? Keep pushing sir
Oh I learnt to cook to feed myself hehe and when at boarding school I made money from doing it!
Happy Friday David :)
Wow...that means you cook so well. Good to know you made money for yourself doing this..
How's your challenge going? We are at the end of it.. Hope you got all your stars?... I bet you did
I got nothing yesterday as I was offline watching the football but will get one today I hope:)
I hope you get yours too and will be on my way to see you soon:)
Which of the games? Barcelona? I will surely get mine.. Thanks so much for your encouragment
oh no, my team is Rangers, Barcelona got knocked out haha
We made it and will play Leipzig, West Ham will play Frankfurt, so the semifinals are Britain v Germany!
Anything is possible in football.. Everybody expected Barcelona to win that game. I felt for them though.. Rangers is a great team... I wish them all the best in the game..
Hi dear Nighowl, are you sleeping? Becoming an early bird at least??? Watchig out for your newest posting to engage, but couldnt find it... so maybe I am too early today? !LOL

You really have done amazing this week Daisy, I and all teem tengo are so proud of you.
Let's rock the final day today:)
Thank you so much Ed! 😊 I've been so overwhelming by all the interactions that week that I took some time off and enjoyed a little bit more of the offline life. That's why I'm so late in replying to everyone that took the time to interact with me!
But I always like to comment back and I need a little time to do that! So with that boom of support and encouragement, by you all, left me a little overwhelmed and like I was falling behind 😆
Despite that, I told to myself it is ok to still reply back and take the opportunity to interact a bit more! I am very proud to have been part of #teemtengo!
See you on my next (late) reply 🤣🤣
It was fun Daisy, and don't worry, sometimes I reply days late. I am like you, I do try to make sure I reply to any comment I receive.
I think something is planned for next week, I wonder what ...
You are never left behind, and I will check up on you from time to time, you never know when, because I don't know haha
Hmmm now I'm curious! Maybe a new Dreemport Challenge is it? 🤔
Hehehe Thank you so much for your kindness 🙏
I am curious too, I have been busy today and not looked yet!
hehehehe yes - you will be hearing what's coming this week! :)

Hey Tengo, back again to share my details. I got today's gold star. Then I encouraged daisy from our teem, ifarmgirl and khaleesii from team hope.
!PIZZA
Wow well done, I am super impressed, let's close out the week with a final flourish for Friday!
hehe I missed yesterday
I won't lie. It was the title that attracted me to this post. And what a way to KISS. I think i might just do the same for me when I'm trying something out.
Oh My God! I had the same teleportation moment when I was having dinner last night. I could swear I was 4 again at my grandfather's house in the East enjoying a hot meal made with love by my mother's younger sister. So i do understand that part.
Hehehe. Ready to rumble?
I have been dreaming about coming back here since I read this post at some ungodly hour of a dark morning. Every. One. Of these. Had me going. Especially, though, the baps. I cannot remember the last time I had baps. I do, though, remember that there was a bakery in Grahamstown where I grew up and they made baps. Saturday lunch was often ham and mustard, butter and baps. Anyone who tells me I make baps for the market are instantly disabused: they're neither soft enough, nor floury enough. Nothing like the flour moustache that the bap blesses one with!! Happy Saturday!
That is soooo true, the true bap is soft and you cannot eat without ending up with a flour moustache!
They really are unique and anything you put inside them is delicious.
Dipping a butter covered bap into a duck yolk is just heavenly too!
Have a wonderful Saturday too :)
STOPPPIT!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
hehe I was #justsaying 🤣🤣🤣
Last day of DreemPort Challenge and all I can think about is to eat that sandwich with egg 🤤🤤🤤 I'm half way through with my tasks today, I hope to completed them all before my familly dinner 😆
I hope you're rocking your tasks on this Friday 😍 You have been an wonderful Teem Captain and it was an honour to me be part of this teem! Thank you for all that you did, all that you encouraged and pushed through 😊
Go #TeemTengo!!
Well done Daisy, you have been amazing this week, I hope you get your tasks done and have a wonderful family dinner!
I will get my tasks done for sure today, after doing none at all yesterday 🤣🤣
It has been an absolute pleasure and honour having you on #teemtengo :)
Awwwww - I feel for you, and this loss!
Love your sense of humor! ("Public Service Announcement: I have eaten dinner and no stomachs were hurt in the writing of this entry.")
It is weird, I had not thought about that for years, it is funny how memories are sparked and jump into our mind.
heheam glad you got the PSA humour:)
It is good to have fun in all we do, many thanks for commenting and have yourself a super-duper Easter weekend 😁
