I sure do love a good Scotch Egg. Had the best one I've ever tasted last year in London.

I was looking forward to the scotch eggs when I went to the cotswolds, but I ended up having eggs benedict for breakfast every day.

when I was a kid and my family had picnics I used to get them to eat the eggs (I hate boiled eggs), and give me the sausage and breadcrumb outside

Looks delicious. I’ll take one of those herb sausages.

I saw my first reference to “beige flag.”
It was in a Coppola red wines promo on Facebook.

Mission accomplished, got the most beige one and it was delicious.

The kid loved seeing the bright lights at night. She did like 20k steps today.
