Best meal of the day

I can never understand anyone who says “I don’t eat breakfast.”  For me it’s the best meal of the day.

I especially look forward to the egg days, which alternate between oatmeal.  Those are not just any eggs.  They are Polyface eggs from happy pasture-raised chickens who lay happy eggs.  Their yolks are an intense yellow and they stand up in pan instead of just running to the edges.

My two (medium) eggs fried in a little olive oil and a couple of pieces of homemade whole-wheat challah are definitely worth waking up for.  

I hope my cholesterol count never suggests greatly restricting my egg intake because they are one of the best foods around as far as I’m concerned.

Even Jake enjoys licking the plate when I am finished.
