Sunday Dec. 25, 2005 - Year 3, Day 279 - fried egg sandwiches
0C/32F . . calm, clear & sunny; Gusta was downwind from some exciting scents . . Carla walked with me
food & family are so intertwined – they bring us together
it is not about the ingredients, it’s about who is at the table
like the movie ‘Eat Drink, Man Woman’ or ‘Like Water For Chocolate’ or SC’s family making chocolates . . . most families have food favorite traditions
I’m not sure when exactly it started
clearly it was in the last 20 years . . something I made - not often, but just for my kids
along the way it became a Christmas morning tradition: crisp bacon, an egg fried in butter, hot toast . . . assembled carefully in layers, then sliced diagonally spilling yoke between two portions scooped onto a plate before a yellow drop is lost, then eaten & dipped to the plate wiped clean – scrumptious . . . better yet with a little ketchup
Carla & I kicked some serious butt at Trivial Pursuit, we had too much food but never too many laughs yesterday as we enjoyed our family Christmas dinner & gift exchange & my dad had a great time too – Krista & Brad left for Red Deer last night [to be with his family], Carla stayed here
Krista was disappointed she couldn’t stay for Christmas morning traditional breakfast of fried bacon & egg sandwiches . . . but Carla the vegetarian is here [hold the bacon]
Merry Chistmas everyone . . & Happy Hanukkah to our Jewish friends who start their celebration at sundown today with the lighting of the first candle in their menorah
gotta run - bacon & eggs to fry . . . it is not about the ingredients, it’s about who is at the table
