I love the term "eggs-in-a-hole." So simple and to the point. And sort of cutesy. In fact, I think it may be grounds for a childrens' book. Hm, my story would go a little like this.
Macaroni and cheese is a sacred food group for us collegians. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty picky about my dairy elbows. And my physical elbows, too. Some say licking your own elbow is impossible. But you know what that also spells? I-M P-O-S-S-I-B-L-E, baby! But that's a different story for a different time. Back to the mac.
