I know how much you all enjoyed my first cooking post, so I decided to do another one. Hooray! I woke up at 7 AM, and unable to fall back into a delightful slumber, dragged myself out of bed to eat. (Pretty much the reason I get out of bed most mornings.)
How NOT to Make Breakfast
Step 1: Gather your ingredients. (If you don't have uova, you can just use eggs.)
Step 2: Conquer stove again. (Be super proud of yourself.) Put a little chunk of butter in the pan. Set pan on burner. While butter is melting, use remaining butter to spread on both sides of two slices of bread. If you have any butter left over, you did this part wrong.
Step 3: Crack your egg(s) into the pan. Finish buttering the bread and realize your eggs are burning.
Step 4: Quickly pour them onto a plate and hope they can be saved. Place your bread in the same pan.

Step 6: Weigh your options. Decide you will try to eat burnt toast, because you really love toast.
Step 7: Eat one piece. Admit that second piece is too burnt to eat. Even with weird Italian milk.
Step 8: Throw away toast. Get a yogurt from the fridge. (There's pretty much no way you can screw up this part.)
