The Incredible Edible Egg


Today I had eggs and bacon for dinner. I love eggs and eat them for breakfast, lunch or dinner. These are store bought not as good as farm fresh. My friend Judy has chickens and some awesome eggs.
I think I've cooked thousands of eggs maybe hundreds of thousands. My first career was in food service. I first worked in Charlotte Harbor right on Peace River at the Fish n Steer. Later Martin's Restaurant in Port Charlotte. When I went into the Navy I chose food service again. I continued that career until I went to school for my present career in IT.

While in the Navy after we returned from overseas our ship went into dry dock in Long Beach Ca. while there I was assigned to work at the base mess hall. There we served thousands of servicemen both Navy and Marines. My first duty there was as a grill cook and in the mornings I noticed of the two lines mine always stretched all the way to the door where the other line was half as long. I looked back at the line Chief Petty Officer once and asked if I was going too slow, he smiled and said no my eggs were better.

Mike's life on Jeffery Waterway


To begin: This pictue is of my grandson Dennis (DJ) from when he came on vacation with my daughter Theresa and his sister Emily. DJ caught his first fish in Jeffery Waterway. I've never caught a fish in there! I moved here in 1999 from Rye Colorado. I've met lots of great people down here.
