I feel ya there. Two weeks before mom died, I had her outside in the
back yard with me with her walker, eating honeysuckle blossoms. It was
such a beautiful morning and a most precious memory...

She was on the oxygen concentrator and the line was long enough to run
out the back door.
I really do understand exactly what you are dealing with Jill. If you

Breakfast is too easy to cook at home, especially eggs. The only time
I eat breakfast out is when I'm traveling and haven't much choice, and
I try to steer away from those pancake/waffle chains... I don't enjoy
enduring an hour in a noisy, wailing rugrat infested atmosphere to eat
way over priced, under portioned eggs that most times won't be cooked
to my liking... I look at a plate with two measly silly eggs, two
measly silly strips of bacon, and a teensy pile of greezy fried spuds
have teh size of what I scoop from the cat pan and ask myself out loud
WTF is this, it ain't fit for a starving dog. It ain't worth the
dental floss. Before wasting my time eating that over priced crap
I'll pull into a stupidmarket and pick up some muffins, fresh fruit, a
hunk of cheeze, a loaf of decent bread, a big mug of coffee and eat in
my car out in the parking lot where it's QUIET! Heck, cold canned
chili, a bag of tortilla chips, canned peaches, and a soda is better
than any chain brecky joint.

Over easy means they're flipped and cooked both sides... there'd be no
underdone white by the yolk... I think you're talkin' plain old fried
eggs (not flipped).

That is a good idea because, ironically, the place that specialize in
pancakes always seem to do a horrible job on them. Last winter we were
coming back from an out of town appointment and looking for a late
lunch. We made the mistake of stopping at a pancake joint. I thought
that , not being a chain, perhaps their pancakes might be good. I was
wrong. They were horrible, and made even worse with the abomination of a
syrup they served with them.

When I was working we often went to local mom and pop joints for bacon
and eggs..... not to chains. The chains always charged a lot more and
the food was nowhere near as good.

One of our usual breakfast stops was The Flying Saucer in Niagara Falls,
where they still serve a 99cent breakfast, two eggs, home fries and
toast. Bacon and coffee are extra.

I got away from the eggs and bacon breakfasts because they just don;t
sit well with my system. I prefer a bowl of oatmeal or cereal with fruit
and that is hard to find in a restaurant.

Since we're talking about hard-boiled right he

Cut them in half, throw away the yolk, then salt and eat the white.

No soft-boiled for me.

Indeed, that is our club's preferred breakfast place when we are in Niagara
at the February Boardgaming Weekend.

http://cache.virtualtourist.com/2773220.jpg

Unfortunately, the rest of Niagara is a wasteland. Best to eat in chain
restaurants where at least you have a clue what you're getting. I ordered
a spaghetti carbonara in a non-chain restaurant a block from the hotel and
got something...well...it was something a dog wouldn't eat for breakfast
(and I've seen a few of those dog's breakfasts lately as my step-daughter
had been boarding her two pooches with us).

We've had equally bad luck with Chin-Am restaurants which look like Triad
fronts and the hotel restaurant itself where the nachos were inedible and
the pizza extremely limp.

I beg to differ. I live 15 minutes from Niagara Falls and used to spend
a lot of time there when I was working. I still go there a lot. Don't
confuse the tourist traps with the best there is to offer. Some food
businesses pay for the premium property in the tourism centre and serve
crap food. There are a lot of good places to eat there.

I *never* use magarine (even if a recipe calls for it).

I only use butter.

I never go to a WH anymore. It's a real sideshow to see how they
sling a meal together. A half hour later, MAYbe yer eatin'/ Ya
certainly don't go for the foooood. Bob Evans is a better choice,
even a ( I hate to say it ) Shoney's.

You may beg to differ, but that does not invalidate my experience.

Name a few, so I don't go blind next year.

Yeah - it's a choice between diarrhea or lumps. Used to go to a
certain indep. b'fast joint - woe unto anyone who didn't head straight
home to a bathroom. I used to feel sorry for tourists who stopped
there, then hit the highway - Next reststop was 40 miles away.

My 'safe' breakfast while traveling is heavy on the starch - I order a
toasted English, or muffin, grits, juice. I'd never order home fries
and even the sausage gravy is a real risk.

My only complaint about the fresh fruit on a breakfast menu is that is
is going to be ice cold.

LOVE to see blintzes offered - such a rare treat, but unheard of in
certain parts of the country.

Somehow, I already knew that. :-)

Bet you don't follow the serving size recommendation, either. One egg
and one piece of toast?

We gave up margarine over 20 years ago. Research shows that it's worse
for you than butter, so what's the point?

Butter tastes better anyway.

Who ya gonna trust? Mother nature or some chemical lab?

I just don't see the point in margarine either, except very rare
occasions. Either I splurge on butter, or I use olive oil.

ObCandy: Tried a Butterfinger bar from our Halloween candy. I knew I
didn't like them, but couldn't remember why, since it had been many
years. I told my wife that it tasted like a MargarineFinger bar. I
fished them all out of the bag and put them on the top layer of the
candy bowl, to get rid of them. We didn't have that many trick or
treaters, so had lots left over, including some margarinefinger bars.

Isn't "butter" full of chemicals too? Also margarine is vegetables. But I
guess it does all depend on taste. I like margarine because of the taste and
also because it's easier to spread.

This little 'treat' has insidiously worked it's way into the Australian
agenda.

So now each Nov30th we have Aussie kids all dressed up as ......
whatever.... walking the streets begging for lollies.

Each Nov30th...... I lengthen my dogs running lead so that it covers the
whole front yard, as well as the front steps. (No fences)

Haven't had one trick or treater yet :-)

That looks like an eggcup to me. What do your eggcups look like then?

Think of the basic 2 egg coddler shape only it's a cup - not threaded
at the top.

Not too sure what you mean. Are your egg cups double?

Ok. I actually have a 5 cup egg poacher, but those aren't soft boiled
eggs. <g>

My egg cups are the same general shape and size of what's called a
"double"... without the metal top, of course.

I "never" eat butter.....it's an animal fat and hell on cholesterol. I
use a yogurt-spread product called Brummel and Brown and it's great to
eat and for cooking and no artery-clogging fats.

MCINL - as usual. Tho only way I've ever eaten
soft-boiled eggs is in the form of "soft-boiled eggs
on toast" which was a staple in our house when I was
growing up. We usually had them on the weekends when
my mother had time to cook. On school days we usually
had cold cereal or oatmeal or cream of wheat.

I have never had the slightest wish to experience eating
a soft-boiled egg out of the shell - partly because I'm
sure small pieces of shell will get in it and it will freak
me out. (I really do freak out if I accidentally bite
into a piece of egg shell, wherever I may encounter it. The
other part is, since I'm going to eat it with toast anyway,
it seems silly to leave it in the shell and then scoop it
out with a spoon, all the while trying to avoid any renegade
chips of the shell. Just dump it on the toast and eat it with
a knife and fork and be done with it.

NO. It's a cup, not a coddler. Just put the eggs in it. Stay with
me, girl.
