Scrambled eggs

When you're feeling a bit rotten, then only scrambled eggs on toast will do for tea.

This makes enough for one person (or to top two slices of toast):

two eggs
a splash of milk
a knob of butter
a little black pepper (your Dad also adds dried or fresh parsley)
two thickly sliced pieces of bread, toasted

Beat the eggs together in a bowl, and add a splash of milk. Season with a little black pepper. Find a non-stick pan (you can make it in an ordinary one, but it's a pain to wash up), and melt the knob of butter over a low heat. Pour in the egg mixture, and gently stir for a few minutes, breaking up the solid bits of egg as they form. This bit is quite relaxing, especially if you've got some random nonsense from Radio 4 on in the background.

Once it's a beautifully creamy mixture, turn off the heat, plonk onto your toast, and eat immediately. I like a little Branston pickle with mine, but that leaves your Dad cold.
