An Ode to Eggs--Fried Eggs with Truffle Salt

Dinner time comes around

To the fridge I go to scrounge

For some leftovers from days past

But I'm to be disappointed very fast

Like old Mother Hubbard 

Who had a desolate cupboard

My fridge takes on 

The appearance of destitution

The shelves are bare

Of  food in Tupperware 

In panic I glance at the clock

It's nine pm as I look in shock

I better get a move on with dinner

Some kind of meat will be a winner

Since the hour is so late 

Inspiration becomes eggs on a plate

Ingredients are retrieved from the fridge

They sit on the counter for a smidge

Butter sizzles in the saucepan

Eggs are broken as carefully as I can

Sunny side up bottoms crusty and brown

I try not to break the yolk with a frown

Slices of  bread pop in to toast

Before you know it we are ready to coast

A hefty pinch of truffle salt
Cracked pepper to a fault

Earthy smell of truffle assaults my senses

I hustle for utensils

Truffled eggs buttered toast and a glass of wine 

I feel so ooh-la-la at dinner time 

My way is to dip white in yellow

With a crusty piece of toast to make my mood very mellow

Breakfast for dinner is often done

In our house food is always fun!
