One pack of a dozen of the       Hawaiian rolls.       Layer of bacon       Layer of thin sliced ham       Sauteed spinach       Shredded cheese       Six eggs, beaten              Put the top on and back about 20 minutes. I butter the tops and put a       touch of course salt.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
