We had a lovely
breakfast this morning and a good deal of fun too, when a friend came
to breakfast and to demonstrate his amazing scrambled eggs. While my
son made lots of toast,I fried the bacon and our friend worked his
magic on the eggs. It was such fun,all piled in to the kitchen
together and reminded me of my childhood home where everyone gave a
hand to cook breakfast.
I always though my
scrambled eggs were pretty good ,until today. We were served a real
treat,soft fluffy feather light scrambled eggs without a trace of
grease (a problem I sometimes have with mine)and the flavour was
excellent. We all tucked in and soon there was nothing left but a few
toast crusts,I can honestly say that I have never eaten better
scrambled eggs.
So the honours rest
with our guest chef, I am not too proud to learn and shall ,in future
prepare my scrambled eggs a la Mark.
After our meal the boys
went off to their game and I decided to go elderberry picking,in the
rain.
Singularly unsuccessful
having been gazumped by the birds I was about to head for home when I
saw something amazing....the biggest toadstool I have ever seen. It
was a lovely golden brown colour and it completely encircled the bole
of a large tree in the churchyard.
It quite took my breath
away and I whipped out my camera to get a few shots,without them I
did not expect to be believed when speaking of its size. It is
,thankfully well hidden from view or I fear that it would fall prey
to vandals who would kick it to pieces for the hell of it.
I am told that even
massive toadstools such as this one can grow overnight,quite
something if true.
I could not help
wondering if it might be edible, just imagine that with scrambled
eggs and bacon.
