I don't know if Aunt Catherine reads this blog or not, but if not maybe someone can tell her about it. About three weeks ago in my 8th grade science class, we got off subject somehow. (That tends to happen. . .I don't even mind it any more; the kids love it and I've been teaching that subject so long I can teach it in my sleep & know if we've got time to finish the necessities.) Well, somehow I ended up telling them how many years ago my Aunt Catherine taught my mom how to make eggs in a basket and we always called them Aunt Catherine eggs. (Note: Mom said that Gloria told her one time that technically they should be called "Gloria eggs" because she's the one that taught her family how to make them. But we always knew them by the other name. So Gloria, if you're reading this, I apologize!)
Well, as the days went on, kid after kid came back to class saying "I tried Aunt Catherine eggs last night, and we really liked them!" etc. etc. Friday I finally took a poll, and ten of my 26 students have tried Aunt Catherine eggs and enjoyed making them. So the tradition has been spread far and wide. I thought maybe you would smile at that like I did.

FINALLY - A NEW POST!!
I'm sure Catherine and Gloria will be thrilled to know their recipe has been transmitted to so many. One just never knows!! I'd forgotten all about those eggs - might try them soon.
I remember calling them "egg in a hole." Gloria learned to make them in home ec, I think. I do remember eating them often. I could never make them quite as good, I thought.
I go in spurts with my breakfasts and eat the same thing for a week or two. Aunt Catherine eggs are in the routine every few months.
Btw, right now my breakfasts are a fried egg on a whole wheat English muffin with homemade salsa.
