Recipe for Egg Person Toast & giveaway

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

This book is overflowing with fun and delicious recipes to feed your children. With monkey milkshakes and miniature lasagnas, the grown-ups can find some treats too. When my children were little, we spent a lot of time in London. Our favorite meal was nursery tea, with the requisite sandwiches and pudding, and the oh-so-British Eggs and Soldiers, or eggs with tall, narrow pieces of toast, covered in butter and jam. Ah. Reminiscent of those teas is this adorable egg person with toast. Cheerio!

Hi Stanley,

We were talking about coffee coming with no shipping charge from Zabar's (4 or more), and I promised to let you know if it worked all the way to Honolulu. It did! I ordered on Sunday, it shipped Monday Feb. 4, and arrived today, February 7. I am very impressed.

Thank your colleagues for me. I am so relieved to have my Royale Blend back. None of that awful supermarket stuff.

Warm regards, and aloha nui loa,

Susanne
