Sorenne eating (second) breakfast with dad, Oct. 1, 2009, about 7:15 a.m. (first one was about 4:45 a.m.).

Boiled eggs in a piggy, with whole grain toast and cantaloupe.

They’re called eggs in a piggy because the egg holders are ceramic pigs.

Bring salted water to a boil, carefully add eggs so they don’t crack, leave at slow boil for 5 minutes.

Remove and place in piggy. Let sit for 1 minute. At this point the egg yolk will just be transitioning from runny to solid. Dip the toast.

The dog is still there. Always.
