The Saturday Sip: June 8, 2024
Here's your etiquette tip, quote and an Emily Post Cookbook recipe to start your weekend off right!
The Tip
When requesting or suggesting a business meeting with someone, ask for theirs rather than offering up your scheduling link. “I’d be happy to put something on your calendar if you have a scheduling link, or if you prefer, we can schedule directly just let me know when you’re available.”
The Recipe
Sticking with eggs again this week. Emily offers up Alpine Eggs as a nice treat.
Emily Post’s Cookbook, 1951, pg. 269 *Please note that recipes are copied as exactly as possible, including grammatical errors and inconsistencies.
Alpine Eggs
TIME: 15 minutes
SERVES: 2
Ingredients
4 eggs
1/3 lb. (5 or 6 oz.) cheese
4 tbs. butter
1 tbs. chopped parsley
pepper and salt
Directions
Cut Half the cheese in thin slices and lined a well-buttered baking pan with them. Break the eggs over the cheese carefully so as not to break the yolks. Season with salt and pepper and cover with the rest of the cheese grated and mixed with the parsley. Dot with the rest of the butter. Place in a 350° to 375°F. oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the eggs are set.
