Many a plate of salad sandwiches has been whipped together to bring to a funeral gathering or wake, or for a family Christening, Communion or Confirmation celebration. Hotels often serve these sandwiches as a light nibble at the end of wedding celebrations. The ingredients are readily available and easy to prepare:

  • Dice the outer tomato flesh into 1/2 cm size pieces.
  • Slice the green onions very thinly.
  • Mash the hard-boiled eggs.
  • Mix the mashed hardboiled egg, diced tomatoes, green onions, and mayonnaise.
  • Season the filling with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Butter a pair of bread slices on matching sides.
  • Spread the filling over one slice and cover with other slice.
  • Slice the sandwich with two crossing diagonal cuts.

Arrange on a sandwich plate and serve with hot tea while nibbling on these Free Range Chicken Eggs:

  1. A companion shortens a road.

  2. Beauty doesn't boil the kettle

  3. Sleep is the first sign of recovery.

  4. A fat Christmas makes for a tight graveyard

  5. May love and laughter light your days,

  6. Forgetting a debt doesn't mean it's paid.

  7. A good word never broke a tooth.

  8. Don’t become broke by trying to look rich

  9. Better to be fortunate than rich.

  10. There is no use boiling your cabbage twice.

  11. It is as easy to catch a cold in a King’s castle as in a shepherds hut.

  12. Experience is the comb that life gives a bald man – A man who has lived long enough to lose his hair will no doubt know a thing or two about life.

Bipartisanship is a political situation that occurs when two opposing parties work together to achieve common goals.   To make creamy bipartisan eggs, heat a pan on low, throw some butter in, whip eggs with a fork in a bowl off to the side with some salt, slide into pan and with soft spatula simply push around and around on low heat till perfectly soft and creamy. Serve immediately with fresh cracked pepper. Cooking up a bipartison bill in Congress follows the same rules for preparation and passage. Warm up members of both Parties toward a particular cause, throw in some fat, whip up interest, soft peddle the details through Committee until it is put up for a vote, add some salty rhetoric while lobbying on low heat until the bill passes. Then, serve immediately with fresh funding.    Here are a dozen Free Ranch Chicken Eggs ready for bipartisan scrambling. Pick one and give it a try: Policies that ensure children have access to high-quality, affordable health insuranc...

A poached egg is an egg that has been cooked, outside the shell, by poaching, as opposed to simmering or boiling.
