two things.

sunshine toast:
a made up family name to describe
a fried egg inside a hole in a slice of bread.
see:

i started making this in england when
my kids needed to eat protein but only wanted milk
for breakfast.
i asked the moms in my local mom & tots
what they fed their picky eaters.
they told me about toast soldiers
(but that was too gross for me, since the egg white is still gooey-ick)
and they told me about sunshine toast.
only they called it bulls-eye.
my kids never called it that.
they thought it looked like sunshine in their toast.
tada.
a family word was born.

now.
on to more important topics.
does anyone else know about these?

what do they mean to you??

i'll tell you why i'm asking tomorrow.

Ohhhhh okay, I know what sunshine toast is. I like your made up family name for it much more. :)

Green M&Ms, ummm...well in high school they meant 'Randy Candy'! Ha.
I prefer orange. The Orange M&M never gets the recognition it deserves!!

the green m&m's always meant sex or something like that...like island girl said.

Ahhh...toast and egg....sunshine...duh! I've seen that before, never had it but have heard of it. We were always an egg sandwich family.

Green m&ms...they make you randy, right? At least that's what I always heard, that and the red ones were bad for a bit there...or was it the orange ones?
