I have never been a fast food eater.  Recessionwoman did not earn her stripes blowing money on fast food.  Besides, being a creature of habit I tend to have most food ready to go at home.

However, this morning I had a cholesterol check at 10.00 and had been fasting since last night.  In a hurry afterwards to go to town, I stopped at our local (very good) Londis to get a quick bite.  I asked Dympna for a hard fried egg in a buttered roll with a bit of salt (no meat).  Dympna suggested 2 eggs and I took her up on her offer.

I love eating in the car.  It’s a habit I picked up from all those years working in the US and eating on the run.  Even though there are tables inside Londis and a picnic table outside, I sat in the car with my roll and a cup of coffee (total cost 4.00 euros) and listened to the radio.

Bliss!  The sun was shining and the roll was delicious.  A man approached me about doing some bookkeeping as I have big signs on my Peugeot.  I should eat outside Londis more often.

Breakfast roll man might be dead and gone but breakfast roll woman is alive and well and living in Grange, County Sligo.
