Well, to make a long story short, my wife got up maybe a half an hour after I started to make a fattie and said "I know you are cooking tonight, but you kinda smell like smoke already".

Now the part about professional help. I think I'm addicted fatties and egged food in general (this has been going for 9 years and seems to be getting worse). Are there 12 steps or forget about t, keep coking and accept that there are things out of our control!?

I, once again inspired by Rick and his Tropical Delights (amazing how easy it is to be inspired by such a great egg cook), decided to try my hand at boat eggs.

Followed his recipe exactly an they are out of this world.

it's kinda funny how i am inspiring people. most of what i do is easy, quick stuff. it doesn't have to be a long, complicated recipe with 87 ingredients to be good. all you need is an egg and salt & pepper!

i left off the part about serving the smoked fattie boat eggs with pace mild salsa and or bob evans sausage gravy, both optional. and if your cast iron skillet is not well seasoned, you might have a sticking issue so just go around with a plastic spatula and unstick it a few times during the cook.

Sticking not a problem here bro. This pan is a family hand-me-down...probably close to 50 years old if not more.

I was way ahead of you on the salsa front. I always eat eggs with salsa.

Yeah, RTD has some great looking creations!!

I grew up in the bay area and good sourdough is hard to find (in Atlanta). What they have at the grocery store isn't bad, but what I remember eating was "Wonderful". Enjoy dinner tonight!

I have been cooking this one since I was 12.. Yep you inspired me

yes I know it's not boat eggs...
