  1. Good old fashioned scrambled eggs that were thoroughly enjoyed by the DM and myself with a slice of toasted buttered soughdough. Thank you carrie sheriden, made for All You Can Cook Buffet tag game special.
     
  2. I really enjoyed these. I used parsley and a little bit of tarragon. Thanks for sharing carrie sheridan. Made for I Recommend Tag.
     
  3. I cooked these eggs for at least 10 minutes but they weren't done enough for me but my brother liked them just fine. Different people have different tastes, I guess. I cooked them slowly as the recipe recommends but it's just not my personal taste. Made for the I Recommend cooking tag game.
