When your kids make you breakfast, always ask questions. My son's 12 years old. They didn't have school today. He decided he wanted to make breakfast. He wanted scrambled eggs and toast. I said, go for it. He said, Dad, do you want some? I'm like, well, sure. And you know what? They were freaking amazing. But they were so amazing that I'm like, son, what did you do different? And he's like, I don't know. and I said, well, so you did something different. I walked me through it. He goes, I cracked the eggs in a bowl, mixed in some milk and put them in the pan. Would you season them or anything like that? Well, I mean, I put salt and pepper on them afterwards. I said, okay, what them or anything like that? Well, I mean, I put salt and pepper on them afterwards. I said, okay, what, did you put, like, oil on the pan or anything? He goes, well, I put in a stick of that, of butter. I said, you put a stick of butter in the pan? He goes, yeah. I said, which butter? He goes, the one, you know, the one wrapped in, like, that gold aluminum foil? Son, you put a whole stick of Kerrygold butter in the pan for four eggs? Yeah, and I buttered the toast. Okay. Well, so then... aluminum foil? Son, you put a whole stick of Kerrygold butter in the pan for four eggs? Yeah, and I buttered the toast. Okay, well, so that's why the eggs are so good, and now I have zero calories left for the month, and it was totally worth it. They were delicious. Well done, son. Well done.
