Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?

My mother called this dish "Hollywood Eggs" and I've been eating them now for 65 years. And, for luck, you must eat the torn-out circle of bread immediately.

Needed: a meal that would win a man's heart!

Do NOT neglect the aroma. Beef brisket cooking at a low temp all day in the oven has gotten me at least two proposals. (Decent AND in-decent).

Great Mexican in the city

When I first moved to NYC (1984), I craved Mexican food and was delighted when I finally discovered a Mexican restaurant. I ordered cheese enchaladas with a mole sauce. I was served cheese enchaladas but I swear the mole sauce was Hershey's chocolate syrup.

Although I no longer live there, it sounds as if NYC Mexican restaurants have come a long way.

Served: My Plea To Tip Kindly

Once while tending bar at a smallish neighborhood pub, a gentleman seated at the bar left a few bills on the bar for me and went out the door. The man seated next to him, wide-eyed, snatched up the money and followed him out the door yelling "Hey Mister. You forgot your change." (Several other patrons, and me, watched open-mouthed). Shortly, the man returned, put my tip back on the bar and muttered something like, "he said it was for you."

The Most-Stained Cookbooks

"With a Jug of Wine" is certainly one of the most well-used books in my collection. There was so much spillage that my dog pulled it down from a low shelf and tried to eat it. Most of the spine and title pages are gone (and it was pretty bedraggled when puppy got to it) but I hold it together with rubber bands and masking tape. I believe my edition is from the early '50s.
