Eggs, toast, the good butter

Saturday morning. No plan required.

Saturday again. The good butter is almost gone. That is a good sign.

About this much

Adjust until it feels right.

  • Eggs, however the morning wants them
  • Bread, toasted darker than usual
  • The good butter, cold enough to still have a shape
  • Salt flakes
  • Pepper, coffee on the side

Play it

A suggestion, not a command.

  1. 01Toast first so it is waiting.
  2. 02Eggs in butter, not oil. Soft set, or fried hard — there is no correct answer.
  3. 03Butter the toast as if you mean to taste the butter.
  4. 04Eggs on the toast or beside it. Salt at the table.
  5. 05Sit down. The rest of the day can wait.

    Saturday. No plan. The good butter made it feel like a decision anyway.
