egg...egg...and egg.....

Egg seems to be the start of life.....egg is the first existence of life...suffice to say maybe an icon of life...the first sign of breathe.....but for me, egg means the favorite snack, a favorite ingredient in her daily cooking or favorite viand or "ulam" of my little sister----but now she's not my little sister anymore because she's two inches taller than me and she has family already.....but as we grow older only one thing didn't change----her passion for EGGS....eggs and eggs......

She is my inspiration for sharing these.  You can do a variety of how you cook eggs....


scrambled eggs
steam eggs
sunny side up

cooking oil


Saute the onion and tomatoes until the tomatoes turn sloppy.  Then put the beaten eggs and mix fry until it molded into chunks.  Season with salt and pepper.  Then serve in a platter with a hot steamed rice or a hot pandesal...
