My dad is not easy to describe. He's a complicated, simple man. An athlete who hydrates with beer. Youthful yet won't stay awake through a movie (at any time of day). A calm man who screams when he gets the daily jumble. He's one of a kind - and he also has a knack for whipping up a storm in the kitchen (though you might get a produce sticker in a bite or two).
He has his fair share of "Howie Specialties" such as eggplant parmesan, chicken stew, and of course his famous ribs. But he also likes the little things in life - which is why I'm sharing this recipe he sent me from one of his father's signature dishes. According to my dad, "it was the only thing he ever cooked!"
It would be a shame if I edited this, so please enjoy some verbatim words of wisdom from my dad...
The perfect 4 minute egg:
Take a small pot and fill just enough to cover 2 eggs.(no waste) bring to a boil. Start the kettle. Get out bread. Also bowl and plate and cutlery. Water should almost be ready now. Plop in eggs, carefully. Put bread in toaster. Put teabag in cup. Add the kettle water. Get out the milk and honey (optional) after 3 minutes take out the bag. (put it in the green thing!) add the milk n honey(opt) take out the toast, let cool briefly. Take out the eggs. (if you re too fast wait the remaining minute) butter the toast. Add honey(opt) crack the eggs. Remove all shell (OPT) salt n pepper eggs to taste. Sit down n enjoy. Courtesy nate katz, of blessed memory, it was the only thing he ever cooked!
