Having just lived through Hurricane Ike, experienced no power, no water, gas lines, etc., one thing that I missed a lot was the ability to buy eggs. They were in very short supply during the first half of this week. I didn’t realize how many things that Diane and I cook require eggs. We couldn’t make pancakes, waffles, cookies, cake, brownie, etc. Fortunately, things are getting back to normal in our neck of the woods (many people, including my brother are still without power).

This morning, we were able to enjoy a delicious breakfast: buttermilk pancakes with a fried egg and a banana on the side. Yum!
