14. (well, bummer, I found "eagan" in a list of words-beginning-with-e and thought "it IS a real 'word' not just the name of a Minnesotan town'." But the definition of it was "A town in Minnesota" and the examples of using the word were as first or last names. Can you dream up a definition for 'eagan' -- maybe some form of eager or other eag... word?? If so, drop it in the comments section :D )

Ben Franklin, electricity, turkeys
Yeh, it could go under "B," "F," "T" or "E" -- I chose "E" for Electricity & Experiments --
Most people know all about the Kite Experiment. But do you know about some of his Leyden Jar experiments, including the one Ben used to exasperate (another great "e" word) his dinner guests? He would show them he could kill and cook their dinner in just minutes with electricity ...

Foods for E ...

Eggplant Parmesan! There are LOTS of recipes out there (probably as varied as meatloaf recipes and everyone has their own favorite version -- this one gives a good overview of the process ...) One of the things I miss about being in the Upper Midwest instead of Southern NJ -- one of my sisters lives in Manahawkin and at the bakery they also sell a frozen pan of Eggplant Parmesan that is the absolute best in the world and I don't need to do all the work -- just bake it. **Swoon** LOL!
Want more foods beginning with "E"? Check out this list: http://www.listchallenges.com/food-beginning-with-the-letter-e
How about some kid crafts that begin with the letter E? http://www.childfun.com/alphabet/letter-e/

Color-Your-Own SuseDoodle postcards from a forthcoming collection to be
released soon! WOO HOO!) All five Call to Action options can be found here --
two can be answered in the Comments Section here or via the InLinkz
section at the end of the post ... I wanted to set the closing date as May 7

deadline is May 1 ...
Five-Minute Fiction --> I don't remember whether the old meme "Fiction Friday" involved writing for 5 or 10 minutes. However, there was a sort of rule -- using their prompt, write for 5 (or 10) minutes minimum and do no editing (I did try to spell-check at least, though) ... then return and share the link to your blog post using the Mr Linky they provided. For 5-Minute Fiction, basically the same "rule" applies except I ask you to keep it G or PG rated, try to use at least 3 words from the list, drop your link for your writing in the Link Share at my post for 5-Minute Fiction and please include a link back to the SuseADoodleDo post for that letter (at your post).

500-word Flash Fiction --> Similar to the above, editing allowed, but there is a 500-word limit to your piece of writing. Again, I ask you to keep it G or PG rated, try to use at least 3 words from the list, drop your link for your writing in the Link Share at my post for 500-word Flash Fiction and please include a link back to the SuseADoodleDo post for that letter (at your post).

Artsy Interpretation --> Create a doodle or illustration using words from the list, post it at your blog or Flickr (NO Instagram as I do not have an account there and cannot get one since I cannot join Instagram from my laptop), add a link to my blog's post for the letter at your post and come back to drop your link in the Link Share at my post for Artsy Interpretation.
