A Smile In My Heart
The other morning I was a lot hungrier than normal. So, deciding on eggs and a nice slice of hearty, multi-grain bread (which makes a WONDERFUL panini by the way), out came the induction frying pan I told you about.
Timing is everything and it was that morning too.
The well-peppered eggs were cooked over easy just the way I like them and my golden brown toast was looking scrumptious as it soaked up the not so soft butter. Just as I was about to fill my plate, a few memories and a smile in my heart told me to put the eggs on top of the toast, creating "toast-a'la-egg."
Now I know you may think this story is a tad odd, however...
Way back in "1802", when I was a single parent, I tried everything under the sun to get my kids interested in eating what seemed like the same food over and over again. Being on a very tight budget, eggs and bread were not only a regular staple but also always on hand because they were almost ascheap inexpensive as pancake mix (our regular Friday night supper).
Anyway, it was at an early age that they were introduced to "toast-a-la-egg" which consisted of one slice of toast with one over easy egg sitting on top. Artfully cutting into the egg made all that nutritious yolk ooze out onto and into the toast, making it a meal fit for a king.

just saying and sharing...
That morning, with the help of a few memories, I ate breakfast
with a smile in my heart.
