There’s an old dish called “Bird’s Nest” which is basically eggs fried inside of toast. So you just cut a hole in a piece of bread, toss it in a pan, and then add the egg to the center of it. The egg fries while the toast cooks. It’s a great dish and kids really [...]

I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but I have to say that a good donut is one of my favorite treats. Cake or yeast donuts. Glazed or filled donuts. I’m not picky at all. That’s why I included a variety in the last poll so people could pick what kind of donut they [...]
