- sometimes daddy would cook- if mama was away or out in the garden
- our big garden was quite away from the house so it was
- nice for mother not to have to walk back and forth
- his favorite was a western sandwich
- made
- his way on the given day
- he would use 6 eggs - beat with a fork until mixed
- into a hot fry pan with bacon grease
- and add some chopped tomatoes and potatoes
- some green onion- and even cooked carrots
- and maybe some crumbled bacon or cold beef or ham
- sprinkle the ingredients on top of the eggs- but do not stir in-
- cook until nearly done on bottom and flip over like a pancake
- and finish cooking=this side will be less time-
- cut into 3 and make up 3 sandwiches
- this does sound a lot like an omelet but there is no folding over
- and it is not as light........and
- both sides were a golden brown
- some folks call them a denver rather than a western sandwich
- but we stuck with the name '' daddy's sandwich''
- he did not toast the bread as it was home made
- do not stir while cooking or you end up with scrambled eggs
- we always had eggs as we raised the chickens from birth
- I hate to think this now but I guess we ate the chickens
- later on after they were old hens- sigh-
- mama did not like eggs so she would find something
- for herself......she did not mind......as she tended to eat
- at odd times in the summer due to her garden-
