From Rachel:
Fact: Grandma Shirley runs the best B&B ever.
Although this special treat does not fall under the “dessert” category, it is essential to note that Grandma Shirley fully understands the importance of a fresh-squeezed glass of orange juice. For that, I am grateful. I cannot remember a single visit to Grandma’s where there was not a glass of the orange deliciousness waiting for me when I woke up. I am convinced that fresh orange juice from Grandma is the key to happiness, and I love hearing her tell the story about when a visitor was so excited she exclaimed, “Mommy! Mrs. Mosinger makes orange juice from oranges!“
“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day,” Mom always said. On school days, breakfast in Mom’s house was usually eggs, toast, milk, and – of course – fresh squeezed orange juice to start. But eggs could be cooked so many different ways that every day was a surprise. My very favorite was scrambled eggs with Velveeta cheese. On days when Mom had time to take requests, she knew what I wanted, and so I nicknamed these “Mother-Love eggs.”
I doubt that a recipe has every been written down for Mother-Love eggs before, but here goes my best guess (further editing from Mom may be required):
Crack eggs into a bowl (1-2 per person). Add a little milk (optional?) and salt to taste (maybe 4 shakes per egg from the Rooster salt shaker?). Beat with a fork til fully mixed. Add about one slice of Velveeta per egg, torn into small pieces. Melt butter in a frying pan. When it begins to sizzle, add the eggs. Stir eggs in between orange juice squeezing. Yum!
