    Good Lord!  My mom was from Nesquehoning!

    Summit Hill and Tamaqua!

    Coal Crackers! (But Cracker meant breaking coal, not the modern reference).

    My Mom had a piece of coal broken off into the palm of her hand for all of her life.

    Grandpap started as a breaker boy at the age of 9.

    And now we're scattered all over the country...

    The lone squire from the third kingdom dragged himself away, beaten, bloodied, but victorious. And it just goes to prove, the squire of the high pot and noose is equal to the sum of the squires of the other two sides.

    No, this proves that the squire of the high pot and noose IS GREATER THAN the sum of the squires of the other two sides.

    Sorry, that's just the way math nerds...  :unsure:

    For us Yanks:  :FlagAm:
    Pavlova is a meringue-based dessert. Originating in either Australia or New Zealand in the early 20th century, it was named after the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova. Taking the form of a cake-like circular block of baked meringue, pavlova has a crisp crust and soft, light inside. Wikipedia
     
    Looks quite tasty to me!
    But where was it created?
    Inquiring minds want to know!  :D

    How was your brekky today :) 

     

    Well, Dear Old Mum didn't TELL me how to cook them, so I was introduced to the learning curve. I didn't learn it, just that that it existed. The second pair of eggs were almost hard-boiled, but better than the first pair, so I made a kind of egg salad.

    The bacon came out crispy and not burned, so I was pleased.

    And my tea is Twinings English Breakfast. If it was good enough for the Queen, God Rest Her Royal Majesty's Soul, then it's good enough for me!

    A comment about your breakfast egg photo:

    Those yolks are so yellow, they look like eggs from a friend of ours that keeps chickens and feeds them healthy stuff. So much tastier than grocery store eggs.

    Now I'm hungry again!

    Still a darn good breakfast!

    When we travelled in Germany with our AF son, the guest houses would always offer soft-boiled eggs for breakfast, along with tubes of pate of different types, and many other tasty items. I never saw anyone eat these eggs, except my son, so I've never seen this method, but it sure looks good to me! I would add salt and pepper, but that's just me.

    And I want one NOW!

     

    Reviving a 65-year-old memory, Mom would make me a soft-boiled egg, and add it to a bowl of torn-up white bread, to absorb the yolk. And a cup of tea with milk and sugar. 

    That's tomorrow's breakfast, for sure!

    All of the homemade Bread Pudding I grew up eating did not have Raisins in it. Cinnamon yes, raisins no. 

    Your Mama wasn't raisin you right!  :D     

    (Just going for the play on words. I've met you, and I know you're a stand-up guy, despite shooting cap-and-ball pistols in competition!)

    Did a sibling or you not like raisins, and so she left them out?

    Moms will modify recipes to please their young'uns. 

     

    My Mom always put raisins in mine.  :wub:

    We had this for dessert so often when I was a kid (everyone did) and going to other folks homes there were always slight variances but they all tasted good :)

     

    Our Grandkids always ask my wife to make it for them.

     

    About the same as Bread Pudding up here. Old fashioned, but delicious!

    I'll show these to my wife.

    She knows her way around the kitchen!  :wub:

    Old family classic Bread and butter pudding yummy

    So. how does your family make it?

    I see raisins, so that's a good start.

    Probably cinnamon, and bread (does stale bread hold together better?), but what liquid do you use? Any eggs?

    OK, I'll let you tell me...

    I hate to tell you guys this but you've been fooled.  I was looking for the LA Times article because I wanted to see what part of LA he was from and I found this:

     

    https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/gold-member/

     

    I realize Snopes isn't very reliable either but when I couldn't find anything from the LA Times, I have to think they're correct.

    Just wishful thinking on my part...

    Looks can be deceiving, but in this case, I think his looks tell us all we need to know.
