We're going to eat eggs tomorrow,

them. AS fast as the shells are cracked
from "pecking' or from rolling the
golden and white contents will be de-
voured, regardless of salt and pepper,
for at Easter time the youngsters re-
gard eggs as some sort of choice fruit,
highly different from those properly
served at the table on other days of
the year.
But for the housewife who wants
eggs in some form to be the main dish
at her Easter Sunday morning break
fast there are problems. She thinks of
"soft-boiled," "hard- boiled" medium
boiled" fried" "omeletted" and
~"poached' and shrugs her shoulders,
for there's nothing new or attractive
about them. For her I have collected
the following tested recipes n trust
that she will make a happy choice:
