I have literally NEVER been able to make eggs in any way except scrambled....this is a game changer for sure! I had seen my grandmother do it when I was little but just couldn’t remember how it was done! Thank you so much for sharing! I finally made the perfect “fried but not fried” egg sandwich!! ??????

My wife and I live just outside of Atlanta, GA. Two daughters live in town, one with my two grandsons. My son is living in California. I'm a retired environmental manager at a manufacturing facility.
My Mom and Dad would have loved this site. Dad was a huge collector of recipes and was in the food industry. Mom was a terrific cook as well. Another influence was a roommate at the Universtiy of Arkansas that was an excellent cook.
Today I enjoy barbecuing and grilling year round and cooking in general. My latest adventure is in bread baking. I'm loving it and going to school on it right here on the bread forum. I'm active in a terrific church and also love fly fishing and fly tying.
