Vintage Christmas Card # 3, and Campbelled Eggs - A Recipe.

Today's card was painted by Paul E. Driver

No. 70 from an original painted with the foot (!)

I couldn't come up with anything as wonderful as this with a paint brush between my fingers - let alone my big clod-hoppers!

You can read more about Paul here.

Next up, a retro Christmas recipe.

(I probably should've given this its own post because I hate to detract from Paul's beautiful Christmas card, and I know that's exactly what this recipe is going to do!)

Cambelled Eggs is aka Christmas Morning Eggs for People Who Can't cook (it could also be called Christmas Morning Eggs for People Who Don't Want to Eat!) I found it here when I was looking for recipes for our retro cook-off, and because it looked so festive - a pretty eggy wreath, and it involved canned soup I had to give it try.

Here's what Cambelled Eggs should look like

Here's the 'recipe'

1 can Campbells Cream of Chicken Soup
8 eggs, lightly beaten
dash pepper
2 tablespoons of butter

Stir soup until smooth. Blend in eggs and pepper. In skillet, melt butter, pour in egg mixture. Cook over low heat until set.

And here's mine

Christmas? Breakfast? Forget it!

I'm inflicting serving this to the girls for dinner!

(bet you're glad you're not home Anth!)

And because it wouldn't be a retro recipe without the gag-o-meter...verdict: don't bother. It tasted like scrambled eggs with the off-putting addition of 'chicken' chunks - and I can't vouch for the authenticity of the chicken! 

EDIT
Adelaide just got home from work and her first words when she got in the door were "Mum, have you been cooking dog food again?" Says it all really.
