They are, they're simply called "uova al tegamino" (skillet
eggs).

Yes, I did eat at Groff's once during that trip. Groff's is one of my
favorite restaurants in Wildwood. A trip to Wildwood just isn't the same
without eating at least one meal at Groff's. The menu is nearly the
same, but I heard from a friend that one night a week now, Groff's
serves prime rib. Groff's also started to offer three side dishes with
its meals now, instead of two. That's a lot of food!

Groff's used to put out a coupon for a free slice of their homemade pie.
The pies at Groff's are sublime. They offer several kinds such as peach,
banana, and lemon merrangue. Unfortunately, Groff's stopped offering
free pies last year. A slice now costs $2.50. From what I have heard,
Groff's is losing money, so I am concerned that they might not be in
business much longer. The place used to be packed during its business
hours, which are only 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM, but now, I never see a line
there and even large parties can walk right in and be seated fairly
quickly. The food though is great! Its just the kind of comfort food I
enjoy such as roasted turkey, spaghetti, fried chicken, plus a variety
of seafood dishes, all home made and as delicious as ever.

Sue, which photo are you referring to? Some of the photos show just
garden variety pigeons.

It's probably one of those Top Sekret "decoy" laughing gulls that the CIA is
developing that Sue espied...

Incorrect, but since I am a nice person, I forgive you.

How cool is this? After all these years, Stan's still eating ketchup
with various accompaniments on the side! Gotta love it.

Definitely is a laughing gull; though I've yet to see one here in NJ,
I'm very familiar with them from sailing further south. One of the
more annoying birds I've ever met (besides the 5:30am crows in our
woods!)

I'm not into the catsup with the eggs, but I have no problem with syrup or
pancakes coming into contact with the eggs. In fact I like to do my bacon in
the oven glazed with either maple syrup or sprinkled with brown sugar. Sweet
and savory is something I appreciate :0) And while eggs and pancakes are
better as separate mouthfuls, they all get mixed together on the old tummy!

Be careful or you might find yourself with a subpoena to reveal your
source of that information!

Thanks! I had some songbirds in my local tree that were quite loud in
the early AM this past spring. But one tends to forgive songbirds for
their inconsiderate behavior :> Crows, no.

Scrambled eggs are not all that common here. It's a major effort to
convey the idea of scrambled eggs to a cook in Honduras. They want to
do everything sunnyside up - burnt on the underside, raw on top.
Finally trained our housekeeper on how we like our eggs. BTW, had a
breakfast that looked just like yours this morning - 3 pancakes, bacon,
scrambled egggs, local coffee that we roasted here at the house.

Forgive, my tail feathers! I wanted to blast those noisy
!(*&$!#*1s outta my tree!! Fortunately for them, I don't own any weapons,
other than my dark thoughts :-) They're gone now, thank goodness, noisy
little buggers!
