E is for egg.

"I should open an Eggateria!" you proudly exclaimed, and I have to agree that you were right. While my own attempts to wrangle denatured proteins were not necessarily disasters, you handled everything from omelets to eggs benedict to quiche and chocolate mousse with more than skill, you handled them as though you had laid the eggs yourself. There aren't many things you ever taught me, but the one lesson I'll remember forever is that breakfast can be so much more than breakfast; it can be dinner, too.

  1. Breakfast for dinner is the best dinner ever. Except for Thanksgiving dinner, which is the real best dinner ever... especially in '09.

  2. Shari's right. The only thing better than breakfast is breakfast for dinner.

  3. I am still wrestling with the image of a person laying eggs and then immediately introducing them to the frying pan.

    eclectic - you are gonna get yourself so worked up that i could make lobsters wrapped in diamonds and gold and it would still be a let down.

    sir - shari is always right. actually, she's not, but she's right about the breakfast thing.

    vahid - believe me, if you lived in this crazy household of mine it would make perfect sense. of course, you'd be crazy, but that's an entirely different problem.
