EGG-ceptional!
I woke up lazily to the my alarm on my phone this morning and set it forward to another hour. Finally, I managed to wake myself up at 9 am. Not under the pretext of studying for my ever important final, but because I was huuunngryyy! It was hunger with a capital 'H'. Strange, cause I did have a good meal last night. And it was while I was brushing my teeth groggily that my eyes brightened up at the thought of-EGGS! Suddenly I could think of nothing but 'em lil white oval fellas! So I picked up a bowl and tried cracking them. Mind you, it had definitely been a while since I had done that. I got all the veggies I needed chopped, poured in a lot of cheese and beat it silly! As I got some bread toasted, I left the omelette in the pan to fry. When it was time to turn it over, I messed up big time! I mustve sliced in into a million pieces and lost track of their right side up. Annoyed with myself, I picked up the million pieces and put it between my toast and seasoned it with some salt and pepper just in case it was a disaster. But the first bite felt like heaven. It was a pleasant surpirse. I couldn't help but think of those many Sundays back home when dad would serve us eggs for breakfast, the three of us with our own demands, ranging from the sunny-side-up, to scrambled eggs, to omelettes or just plain boiled eggs. Yeah Sunday was the Egg day. (the ol' 'Sunday ho ya Monday roj khao Anday' thing!) But it was a reminder of those ever-cherished but now only dreamed about moments that took me back in time this morning!.....and from Dad, cooking yummy breakfast is perhaps only one of the many zillion things I'm glad to have learned! :)
