HAM AND EGGS

There are so many stories about ham and eggs, with the most famous belonging to Dr. Seuss and his Green Eggs and Ham. A lesser-known tune is “How Do You Like Your Eggs in the Morning” which has been on the @carondeletkitchen playlist for years.

The song, released in 1964, showcased Dean Martin and Helen O’Connell taking it to “earworm” heights through their tongue-in-cheek interpretation of the lyrics. To give you a sample, the first verse asks how do you like your eggs in the morning? The response is “I like mine with a kiss. Boiled or fried? I am satisfied as long as I get my kiss.”

I admit I was humming the song when I offered to make breakfast for Big Guy and our Doodle. I scrambled up eggs with ham and cheese and served them on a piece of toasted bread. I am happy to say I got a kiss from both of them!
