"That was a pretty. good. day. ... Why couldn't I have that day over and over and over?"

 

Breakfast Saves the Day

A few Saturdays ago, things were starting out a little rough... whiny kids, rainy weather, so much to do and so little time. On top of that, a brief look in the fridge revealed there was only one egg left for Tom and I, Lucy having already devoured two herself for breakfast (she likes them scrambled with cheese and some sort of meat, a true Wisconsin girl). I took one for the team and made Tom this sandwich with the remaining egg, and I have to say it put him in a good mood almost instantly.

1 egg, softly boiled, peeled and sliced (to make a perfect soft boiled egg, boil an egg for exactly 5:45, remove from hot water and cool in a water bath; when cool enough to handle, peel shell)
one slice of sharp cheddar, shredded or grated
1 slice of bacon, fried until crispy (okay, so I made two and ate the other one myself)
1 english muffin, toasted to your liking

Assemble sandwich in this order: muffin, sliced egg, salt/pepper, cheese, and bacon.  Or any way you want, really.  It will be good no matter what.
