I will be beating a dozen eggs for dinner tonight, potato omelet for
two adults and two teenage boys... already got four large spuds pared,
diced, and browned.... may even add another half dozen eggs, 14 and a
16 year old boys can absorb food like a abyss, especially after doing
yard work for four hours... hmm, I have a pound of sliced white
American cheese from the deli, might add some too, but I'll ask first,
teens can be fussy, some don't like cheeze... was already told no
onions or peppers, but was informed they both like Heinz red and
Tobasco.... oh, and I got a dozen kaiser rolls. They can have a
choice of beverages; Coke, 7Up, Gatorade, milk, but no booze. I don't
mind feeding them, they work hard, do a good job, and it's not easy to
find reliable teenagers to do chores, I pay them each $10/hr, it's
hard work clearing brush from hedgerows. They give me four hours a
week, their regular job is clearing brush, string trimming and such at
the golf course. Anyway, a dozen eggs is a nothing, to feed 400
aboard ship I'd crack a thousand eggs... would have been a lot more
but only about three quarters ate eggs.
