Wow, huge warm gooshy memory here:  When I was little, I would occasionally spend a day or two with my grandparents' house.  They spoke only French and I spoke only English, so communication was interesting at best.  I have two strong memories about my grand parents.  1) My grandpa smoked a pipe, and everytime he used a match to light it, it would be my responsibility to blow out the match.  2) My grandma would always make me soft boiled eggs and toast for breakfast, and she'd slice the toast into strips about an inch wide and as long as the piece of bread was.  She called these "les soldat."  I knew this meant that they were solidiers, but never connected this with the fact they'd lived through WWII, until adulthood.  Strange.

Is slicing toast into soldiers not common over the pond? Over here, it's a requirement for every child to have Marmite soldiers at least once.

Before I became vegan, I was fond of dipping toast strip "soldiers" into the gooey yolk of an egg served in an egg cup.

So the "soldiers" thing has nothing to with wartime food rationing?

It has everything to do with small children wanting to have a wheat based army at their command.

I'm not sure I ever ate this particular meal while I was young enough to play games with food, but if I did, you can be sure that I had a grand old time sending toast soldiers to their yolky doom.

Hard-boileds travel well, especially when a paper salt packet is involved. Much the same can be said for tomatoes, if padded. Eat More Fresh Tomatoes! (Miss you, Paul.)

While y'all were talking about eggs, I was eating them.

Once again, Paul proves that he has a photo of everything.

Please no one mention taking a dump.  Please.

Wow.  I was so afraid to click that link.  So afraid. 

On the eggs front, I have had the same two eggs in my fridge for quite a while.  How long do eggs keep in the fridge without going bad?  I have no memory of eggs ever going bad on me in the fridge.

No, no, but you've also never fail to supply an image when requested, and well... just let my request for no pictures of you taking a dump cancel out the earlier suggestion.  A picture of anyone not taking a dump is better than the picture of someone taking a dump.  I've stumbled into some dark corners of this here internet... It's the only thing that makes me want to puke. What I am saying is that no matter how lovely the man, there are certain things I don't eva' wanna see. 

If you want to take photos of you and jough... well, really there are websites that will pay you for that sort of thing.  And if you can make your own Christian can rockin' site... well, you basically win the internet.
