Egg-a-cup!

The British name for the lidded egg cookers is 'coddlers'. I have two
my mom brought back from her last trip to england. they're pretty. I
butter the inside lightly, then crack in an egg. If UI'm feeling
decadent, i add a tablespoon of cream or a pat of butter. ThenI put em
in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes or so. They're yummy!

Thank you very much, i had been searching for coquettes and could not
find anything like what i had or wanted. "Egg coddler" turned up lots
and lots of what i already have (ceramic) and several versions of the
clear glass type that i want.

Still have not found exactly they type i had in the past but William's
Sonoma has what looks to be an acceptable version of the clear glass
coddler.

Thanks again, i would never have thought of the term 'coddler' on my own.

Check Ebay, if you haven't already. If it's vintage, they might have
it.

Got to have the toast to sop up the egg yolks! Back in the day Mom
bought nothing but white bread.

Absolutely...what else was there?? Oh, rye bread on occasion, I
guess.

I happened to have some white bread around today, and my eggs and
toast were just delicious, with an ice-cold glass of milk alongside.

Absolutely ice cold milk! When my LLL and I go out to breakfast I order a
tall glass of cold milk to go with. I haven't tried to order egg-a-cup yet;
doubtful I'd find an restaurant that understood that 😉

Was laughing (thankfully) with Mom last night about a meal she used to make
for me as a kid and which I still make for myself. We called it
"egg-a-cup". It was simply two soft-to-medium boiled eggs with a teaspoon
of butter, chopped up in a coffee mug and sprinkled with salt & pepper.
Eaten with a spoon. When I mentioned what I had for breakfast yesterday, I
said, "Egg a cup" and she giggled! "Egg a cup!", she exclaimed! Yep! We
had a good laugh over that.

This is what my son used to call a "juicy egg" when he was little.
He's 34 and he *still* calls it a "juicy egg."

Back in 1965 when we lived in Lakehurst, NJ, I spent the
night at
Mikey and Bridget's house and the next morning their mom
asked what
I wanted for breakfast. "Egg-a-cup", I replied. She
had to call my
mom to find out what the heck it was. (laughing) I was
five and
thought *everyone* knew about egg-a-cup! That with a
piece of
buttered toast is a wonderful meal no matter what time
of day.
Think I'll make some for lunch <G>

My mom used to make that for me except she would chop the
toast up
and put the egg on the toast and serve it to me in my
peter rabbit
bowl. total comfort food.

Thing is, she still does it for me when I need it and I'm
32 years
old.

LOL Mom is about to turn 80 and I make it for her now when
I visit 🙂 Funny
how things turn around as you get older.

Jill <--almost 46

I had it for breakfast today!

BTW, since I'm into genealogy, I have noticed a couple of things. Some of
my ancestors came to Canada in 1909. Of these, one was a strict
vegetarian because her father had been a butcher. They lived atop the
butershop and she just could not tolerate the smell of any kind of meat
not even fish. This line didn't seem to adopt a real fondness of eggs as
far as just eating them either. Now this is just my English lines. The
French and Native lines get a lot more interesting as to what they ate.
One of these days, I will share my findings 🙂

Woo-hoo!! I love hearing family history stuff....!!

I look forward to hearing the stories! Once I start taking Gingko again and
can remember my name... I'll have to share a few stories, too. LOL
