My Father's Favorite Breakfast II
I used to prepare this breakfast for my father for years. It was his second favorite breakfast: beans in tomato sauce, a little salt and a little sugar, red wine vinegar, and herbs. It is a very healthy food: no cholesterol, high in fiber (20%), no fat (saturated, trans, or other), high in protein, no artificial colors, preservatives, or flavors, vegetarian-friendly since it has no meat, high in iron, and a good source of calcium. I boil one egg for him, just one peeled egg, and place it whole in the beans for him.
I also prepared hot tea, placed the bread my mother baked right there before letting him know his breakfast is served. What is so endearing is that even though we had maids and such, it just gave me an immense joy to cater to both my parents.

Look at all the chunks of egg white. The best way to enjoy this dish is to scoop the beans with bread like the Italians do with bread and tomato/spaghetti sauce. Squisito!
