Maggie, what do you mean you WISH you wrote as well as Maureen Dowd? Maureen Dowd never makes me hungry.

Thanks for a great article.

Funny you should mention that! I had bacon and eggs for lunch today with my parents, the lovers in this story. The toast was great -- my father's bread machine sandwich loaf, and the preserves were spectacular. My mother put up many jars of her apricot and plum jam this summer, so what with the B & E and the toast, I was fortified for the endless ordeal of Boxing Day air travel, and every traveller's nightmare: O'Hare at 6:00 pm.

It may be late on a Tuesday night, but the sensuality of your prose has me slapping down the desire to go straight to the kichen and put the cast iron on the stove and add the bacon strips! I'm with the commenter who would add grits to the plate. Plate? Platter! And make that two eggs! I love the bacon schmutz added to the eggs--and I live in a condo overlooking a *big* city, Philadelphia, PA. The flavor of fryng the eggs in bacon dripping in cast iron far outwweighs the prettiness of doing them in butter in non-stick. How twee!

Thank you for your delightful prose.

Thank you, Dorine.

There are three things that a well-regulated household can't be without: toilet paper, cat food (if you have feline masters) and bacon. I've tried the butter/nonstick thing recently because I was sadly sans bacon, and while it was an egg, it wasn't a real fried egg. No bacony flavor, no crispy edges, no dramatic dangerous sizzle as the egg hit the pan.
