MY "COUNTRY" SUPPER @ 6pm..... atop an old Blue Willow plate.......

 

  
an extra-large, free-range brown hen's egg, scrambled in butter,  with small chunks of Prosciutto di Parma, smoked tumeric & paprika, hot-pepper sauce,  coarse-ground black pepper, grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese, baby spinach leaves, chopped scallions, cilantro, & parsley,  and yellow bell pepper slices, piled atop a slice of toasted 5-grains bread, generously spread with apple-cinnamon butter......


 followed by another ''meatless"  variation....sans the ham, but 'plus' a generous dollop of lemony mayonaisse...... and a bit of leftover caviar, for the salt.......
