Hi Dave,

Well, it was a small cancer. And squamous cell (slow growing) rather
than a melanoma.

Mine was DCIS--Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (IOW, in a milk duct). I have
to make sure I get the annual check up. Reason it was caught at an
early stage was that I'd put off my annual check up for 6 months, due
to moving from HI to GA. Steve had an appointment at the Fort Stewart

Learned something (re-learned, actually) when reading about cancer.
Men can develop breast cancer even though they can't give milk.

Yes, that's something I learned quite some time ago.

cylinders?
I keep on in the passenger side of my car. But, at 3 L flow setting
it's good for more than an hour. And around home I'm on the floor
standing conventrator.

Some years ago we headed over to this place after working all day at a sewing/quilting expo. It was crowded and loud; I wanted someplace quiet
so we ended up elsewhwere.

As long as the food didn't send you to St. Elsewhere. Bv)=

No, it didn't. I needed the quietness after 3 full days of working the expo so even tho the food wasn't quite what we'd wanted to get, having
the calmer atmosphere was worth it.

Just a chance to relax and eat something to hold you until you get
home. Restaurantss/cafes are, to me, more social places. If the food
is good, that's a bonus.

It was ok, not great, but it filled the need for something quiet.

Mickey D's uses Canadian Bascon or breeakfast sausage as the meat, the
cheese is "American" (mild Cheddar). The egg is just a hard-cooked egg
done in a ring to make it round. The other fats food joints use pre-mix "scrambled" egg.

Title: Copycat Mcdonald's Egg Mcmuffin
Categories: Breads, Pork, Cheese, Eggs
Yield: 1 servings

1 English muffin; split open
1 tb Butter
1 sl American cheese
1 lg Egg
pn Salt
1/4 c Water
1 sl Canadian bacon

Toast both halves of the English muffin until they're
golden brown. Spread the butter over the insides.

Place the bottom of the English muffin on a plate and
lay the slice of cheese over it.

Lightly grease the inside of the egg ring with vegetable
shortening or oil, then set the egg ring on your nonstick
skillet. Let the skillet and ring get good and hot over
medium heat. Crack the egg into the egg ring and use a
fork or the tip of a knife to pierce the yolk. Sprinkle
the salt over the egg.

Here's the big secret that I learned from a family
friend, Oliver Alvarez, who works at McDonald's: Add
steam. Trapping steam around the egg while it cooks
helps it set quickly, and gives it a puffy, light
texture. To do this, pour a bit of water in the pan
around the outside of the egg ring and cover with a lid.
Let the egg cook for about three minutes until it's set.
Remove the pan from the heat, and gently lift the egg
ring to reveal your cooked, perfectly round egg.

Use a spatula to move the egg onto the cheese slice on
the muffin.

Add the Canadian bacon slice to the still-hot skillet
and cook it for one minute on each side. Slide the hot
bacon on top of the egg. Add the top half of the English
muffin to complete the sandwich, and enjoy it while it's
hot!

HOW DO I GET THE PERFECT ROUND EGG? Look for metal egg
rings with a little heft (instead of lightweight
silicone). The extra weight will help prevent the egg
white from seeping under the bottom. Make sure you let
the skillet and egg ring get hot before adding the egg.
The heat will quickly set the egg white, which helps
keep it in the egg ring.

If you don't want to use an egg ring, look around your
kitchen! Round cookie cutters (make sure they're heat-
resistant) and Mason jar lids can work just as well as
an egg ring. Whichever method you're using, be sure to
grease the egg ring generously (as well as the pan). If
you really want to experiment, you can also use a thick
onion ring slice as an egg ring but the egg may not
release from the onion.

OK, I don't like Canadian bacon as much as regular bacon and the
American stuff I can't even call cheese. My parents used to buy that for
cheese (just cheese and white bread) or toasted cheese sandwiches; when
Steve and I got married, we bought nothing but the real thing.

I've made several thousand of them in my time...

So you did rather well, not having to eat McD's all the time. When we
were in AZ, our younger daughter worked at Taco Bell while in high
school. One night we stopped in, forget why, but it was during supper
time. Her manager gave us her meal discount that night. (G) One night,
after a day of high school, drill team practice, then a shift at TB, she
came home about 10 pm with both a Taco Bell meal and one from McD's. She devoured them both--I would have been doing good to finish one--and went
to bed shortly afterward as she had school the next day. She did well at
TB but decided not to move into a manager's job.
