My sister Nancy took our daughter Diane and me out for my birthday breakfast.
We chose Our Little Dutch Cafe because Nancy had never been there.
I got my favorite “Dippy Eggs (over medium) and home fries. (Dippy Eggs is the name on their menu.)
You probably have to be from Lancaster County to know about Dippy Eggs. That is the only name I knew for an egg over light or medium when I was growing up. That meant there was enough yolk for dipping toast into it. 🙂
We had a great time of eating and visiting.

Remember when I got this bouquet of flowers from Cerwin the day before my birthday and wondered about the color of the lily buds?
The were a beautiful burgundy/red.
Now I will get back to a normal year of living one day at a time – celebrating life with Cerwin and our family. God is good!
That’s the grandest birthday celebration I ever heard of!!! All week long.
It was fun. Now I have to think of ways to celebrate Cerwin for the week of his birthday in April.
Ah, good ol’ dippy eggs! Grew up with them for breakfast. And I’m not even from Lancaster County! (Although Franklin County isn’t that far away…)
What amused me on our Hawaiian cruise a few years ago: I asked for dippy eggs at the “eggs made the way you want them” station – and the cook actually knew what I wanted! She said she was from Philly and knew exactly how to make them. I was impressed – and pleased!
Interesting that she knew about dippy eggs. 🙂
Dippy eggs sound good, as long as the whites are well cooked! You will have a lot to celebrate all year long, with a new great grandchild yesterday and another in June — how quickly a family grows!
We are amazed at our growing family and feel blessed.
I remember eating “dippy eggs” growing up. We never called them that, but as soon as you said “dippy eggs” I was pretty sure I knew what you meant. Haven’t had one of those in many, many years.
I enjoyed hearing about your birthday week of celebrations. Have a blessed year. 🙂
I almost always get “dippy eggs” when we go out for breakfast – two eggs over light – or maybe a poached egg and toast.
