I got up early this morning to meet with a friend. I received a call by 7:00 a.m. from my middle son (Levi), asking where I was and when I'd be home. Then, another from my oldest (Isaac) at about 7:15 wondering what was for breakfast. Well, since I wasn't there, they took matters into their own hands. You see, we aren't a cold cereal family, it's typically a more complicated, and warm breakfast around here. When these boys are hungry, and waiting for mom or cold cereal aren't good options, they start doing their own cooking (funny how that works)!
I came home to find a small mess in the kitchen (no big deal). What I found warmed my heart......Levi (age 10) had written out the instructions for making a fried egg sandwich from Grandma the other day. The boys LOVE Grandma's fried egg sandwiches and I must say, they are delicious! Personally, I think just a small amount of mustard is the key to making this sandwich amazing!
How to, Grandma Lattin's Way:
- Scramble eggs in a coffee mug (adding a half tsp of water helps make them fluffy).
- Melt a pat of butter into a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Pour scrambled eggs into hot skillet and leave them alone for a few minutes (this helps with the fluffiness aspect).
- Now it's time to add the bacon (just want to say we love you bacon!), salt and pepper.
- When the egg is set up, flip it over and sprinkle on the cheese. Also add more salt and pepper.
- Oops, make sure you get that bread toasted, buttered with mayo and a hint of mustard.
- Slap that baby on the toast and enjoy with a nice glass of cold milk!

This looked so inviting, I had to make a half a sandwich for myself!
I know it's a small thing, but these kinds of memories are so valuable. The relationship that we have here is unique, and I am so incredibly thankful!
