Two eggs over easy...

I've had the title for this blog entry in my mind for a couple of days and I really didn't want to write this entry until, at least, I had eaten them. A few days ago I did so.




The title is what my Dad would order at the local diner when I was growing up. I remember that it went something like this: "two eggs over easy, toast, and a side of hash browns," or something similar. (And, of course, a cup of tea, milk, & sugar.)

As an aside, its rather creepy how many hits you get when you Google 'eggs over easy.' That, and how many people felt the need to blog, video, and otherwise produce recipes on the subject. On the other hand, I didn't know that it was frequently abbreviated EOE. See, you do learn something every day whether you like it or not. Some folks like sunny side up and others scrambled. In fact, my Dad, when he would cook for himself, make scrambled eggs with tomato. Of course, this was before eggs were considered bad for you and then were restored to their former breakfast position.

So, where was I going with this? Oh yes. There's comfort in remembering the Saturday or Sunday mornings eating breakfast with my father while listening to Jonathan Schwartz playing Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett on WNEW-FM. I think I'll go and call my Dad.

Of course, I could be remembering this incorrectly, but who cares. In searching the web for some information about these topics I came across an interesting web site: wnew.com. I'm currently listening to a YouTube post of "Cause We've Ended as Lovers" at Eric Clapton's Guitar Festival in 2007, which is amazingly good.



There are a few movies over at YouTube about a film called "Airplay," which is about WNEW-FM.
