Is there anything better than having fresh eggs around? You have an instant meal, anytime of day. Scrambled eggs have always been my favorite, and still are. Tina and Molly are partial to the "dunkin' egg" - just a fried egg, over-easy, with a nice runny yolk. Although as of late, Molly has been requesting soft boiled eggs (also known as "the egg in the shell I can dunk my toast into"). Maybe there will be an all eggy post sometime in the future.
Usually for us eggs are a weekend thing, but we had an extended morning today (the best kind, eh?) and offered Molly an egg option for breakfast. She ended up with the plate in the photo above after some discussion:
"What kind of egg do you want Molly?"
"Hard boiled." Of which we had some.
"You want the kind you can peel and hold in your hand?"
"No, I want the hard boiled egg that I can dunk my toast in."
"That's a soft boiled egg"
"No it's not."
That went on for a while. The teenager-like attitude you can get from a 4 and a half year old is amazing. Anyway, she got her soft boiled egg, and promptly attacked it, leaving the wreckage behind:
Yikes. I swear she's a sweet, well-fed little girl and not an hungry velociraptor. Anyway, she seemed proud of her accomplishments. Good girl. Speaking of accomplishments, Tina made a really nice bag last night. She's pretty proud as well, prancing around the house this morning with it draped over her arm.
Note the label on the wine bottle has sufficient blur and shadows to obscure the details. Ha! Now no one will know the $7 bottle of dry french white I like for cooking (and drinking too). :)
Reminds me of childhood. My mom and I used to call this "ladyfinger eggs," even though only those cookies you use to make tiramisu can properly be called ladyfingers, we just applied the term to the toast strips.
I think in the UK they call them "soldiers."
