Fried Egg Sandwich On A Rainy Day

Tweet

It’s raining again today so I decided I wanted a fried egg sandwich. I’ve written about fried egg sandwiches before. They are like Jekyll and Hyde. These are one of my favorite sandwiches–as long as the egg is hot. If the egg is cold, I can barely choke the sandwich down without upchucking. If it’s an egg salad sandwich made with hard boiled eggs, those cold eggs do not bother me at all. Matter of fact, I have never eaten a hot egg salad sandwich. I don’t think I would like a hot egg salad sandwich. Just the thought of it almost makes me gag. Making a fried egg sandwich always reminds me of my visits to my foster mother’s. Every time I would visit her she would ask if I wanted a fried egg sandwich. Of course I did. Then she would give me a glass of cold, fresh milk. She no longer ran the dairy farm but her son did so her milk was fresh from the milk cooler to her refrigerator. Then we would sit and talk while I enjoyed my fried egg sandwich. Today I made my fried egg sandwich a bit different than she did back then. But don’t get me wrong, her fried egg sandwiches were good. I just dressed mine up a bit more. What I did was put salt, pepper and garlic powder on my fried egg. My foster mother just sprinkle a bit of salt on the egg. I toasted my bread. Sometimes my foster mother did that and sometimes not. I put butter of one side of the sandwich and Miracle Whip on the other. (Yes, I know many of you out there don’t like Miracle Whip so no need to tell me about it. You can make the sandwich with mayonnaise–that doesn’t bother me in the slightest.) Today I put a slice of cheese on my sandwich, too. When I put cheese on my fried egg sandwich it goes on the Miracle Whip side so to not cover the butter. That way the hot egg can help melt the butter as well as the cheese. As I ate my fried egg sandwich I thought about my visits to my foster mother’s. Sometimes she wanted me to take her to the local hamburger joint. It was owned locally. And the hamburgers were much better than what the the chain fast food restaurants offered. I always enjoyed my visits. It got me out of the drab of the week. The drive there also wakened up my week. It was about a forty-five minute drive through the country to get to her house. I usually stayed a couple of hours so by the time I got back home I was in a really good mood. Today I thought we needed something to put everyone in a good mood.
