13 THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT EGG..✍️

🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚🥚

1. There are really two ingredients in an egg, such as the egg whites and egg yolks. They have different properties, each performing different functions. They are often separated in certain recipes in order to take advantage of their individual functions. Both parts of the egg contribute nutritive value to baked goods and dessert recipes, the egg white provides protein and the egg yolk provides fat. Being about 75% water, eggs also provide liquid to the mixture, thereby hydrating the other ingredients.

2. The only difference between brown eggs and white eggs is the breed of chicken they come from. There is no difference nutritionally between a brown egg and a white egg.

3. An egg is made of a lot of water, some fat and protein. The protein in the egg adds strength and structure to our baked goods. The fat adds moisture, flavour and richness. The water contributes to lot of leavening.

4. Eggs are also a natural emulsifier of fat and liquid helping them to be mixed without separating and so creating a uniform structure in the mix.

5. In some recipes where there is no leavening agent like baking powder or baking soda, the baked goods rise with the help of beaten white egg.

6. There are many types of eggs, but chicken egg is mostly used in baking and cooking.

7. Eggs are labeled by size according to their weight.

8. Without eggs, baked goods might be dry, flat or flavourful. It adds richness to baked goods.

9. Egg are 75% liquid which can thin a batter.

10. Eggs are incredibly convenient, nothing to measure or sift, no rounded teaspoons or tightly packed cup, just crack, stir and bake with it.

11. Eggs are used in 3 forms. The whole egg, egg white and egg yolk and each has different functions.

12. Egg is a leavening agent in baking, once the water evaporate from the egg, it rises the baked goods.

Best Marriage Advice EVER...✍🏾

1. Choose to love each other, even in those moments when you struggle to like each other. Love is a commitment, not a feeling.

2. Always answer the phone when your husband/wife is calling. When possible, try to keep your phone off when you're together with your spouse.

3. Make time together a priority. Budget for a consistent date night. Time is the "currency of relationships," so consistently invest time into your marriage.

4. Surround yourself with friends who will strengthen your marriage. Remove yourself from people who may tempt you to compromise your character.

5. Make laughter the soundtrack of your marriage. Share moments of joy. And even in the hard times, find reasons to laugh.

6. In every argument, remember that there won't be a "winner" and a "loser." You're partners in everything so you'll either win together or lose together. Work together to find a solution.

7. Realize that a strong marriage rarely has two strong people at the same time. It's usually a husband and wife taking turns being strong for each other in the moments when the other feels weak.

8. Prioritize what happens in the bedroom. It takes more than s*x to build a strong marriage, but it's nearly impossible to build a strong marriage without it.

9. Remember that marriage isn't 50/50— divorce is 50/50. Marriage has to be 100/100. It's not splitting everything in half, but both partners giving everything they've got.

10. Give your best to each other, not your leftovers after you've given your best to everyone else.

11. Learn from other people, but don't feel the need to compare your life or your marriage to anyone else's. God's plan for your life is masterfully unique.

12. Don't put your marriage on hold while you're raising your kids or else you'll end up with an empty nest and an empty marriage.

13. Never keep secrets from each other. Secrecy is the enemy of intimacy.

14. Never lie to each other. Lies break trust and trust is the foundation

Discipline'

Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you about the key ingredient for success - discipline! Discipline is not a one-time effort, it is a habit that you need to cultivate and maintain throughout your life. It is the cornerstone of all achievements, both big and small.

Discipline is what sets the winners apart from the losers, the leaders from the followers, and the successful from the mediocre. It's the ability to stay focused on your goals and priorities, even in the face of distractions and obstacles. It's the grit and determination that drives you forward, even when the going gets tough.

Discipline is not something that comes naturally to most people. It's a skill that needs to be honed and practiced every day. It requires sacrifice, hard work, and dedication. But the rewards are worth it. When you have discipline, you are in control of your life. You have the power to create your own destiny, and nothing can stop you from achieving your dreams.

Discipline is not just about sticking to a routine or schedule. It's also about being mindful of your actions and decisions. It's about having the self-awareness to recognize your weaknesses and limitations, and the humility to seek help and guidance when needed. It's about making choices that align with your values and principles, even if they are not popular or convenient.

So, my friends, I urge you to embrace discipline in your life. Make it a habit, a part of your identity. Start small, with simple daily practices like waking up early, exercising, or reading. Build up your discipline muscles gradually, and soon you will find that it permeates every aspect of your life.

Remember, discipline is not a punishment, it's a gift. It's a gift that you give yourself, to achieve the life you want, to be the best version of yourself, and to leave a lasting impact on the world. So, let us all commit to being disciplined, and see how it transforms our lives and the world around us.

Thank you.
