Rainy mornings, when the sun is refusing to show and hiding behind dark monsoon clouds, I like to start my day with a Sunny Side Up breakfast. It’s like spending 15 minutes in warm and healing sunshine and cheers me up a great deal. I believe that a
person ought to breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dine like a beggar. It is a conventional wisdom to keep fit and avoid obesity and works well for me. But not a one-size-fits-all thingy suitable for everyone. So don’t hold me to it. Sunny Side Up is nothing but a fried egg. The egg is fried on one side only on medium heat. With the yolk up. And it is not flipped in the frying pan. When served on your plate, the yellow yolk intact but still a little runny, the white solid all around, the egg has a sun-like appearance. Hence the name. In the South, I don’t know why, the Sunny Side Up is known as a Bull’s-Eye. I have stared into a bull’s eyes. And they look nothing like fried eggs. Unless, of course, the beast is suffering from jaundice. Along with my Sunny Side Up, I eat two whole-wheat chapatis. Spread with Amul butter. Cardiologists warn of the risk of high cholesterol. They are notoriously all spoilsports. It is my experience that the most frugal of people, who don’t drink and smoke, or eat non-vegetarian food, do Yoga, and rely on divinity to keep them healthy along with their abstemious diets, often die
young of diseases defeated by their joyless lifestyles. While the sinfully cavalier live to a ripe old age. Well-meaning friends advise me to start my day with warm lemon and ginger juice. I find this appalling. Those who do this look hungry and are irritable and snappish all the time. Dinner was my last meal. About 12 hours ago. I need to fuel myself up for the day.
Sunny Side Up adds very few calories. And packs in a healthy dose of Vitamins A, B and D, Calcium, Phosphorus, Iron and Omega 3. What they do for me, I don’t know. But Sunny Side Up is breakfast wishing me Good Morning!
