When You Give a Cook Your Thyme

originally posted 04 NOV 2014

Fixing scrambled eggs this morning. I added some swiss cheese and a couple seasonings. Well, from there, any Simon & Garfunkel fan knows what happened next.

Once I grab the thyme (or parsley or sage or rosemary), it is a given in this house that I am going to start belting out Simon & Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair".

Once I start belting out Scarborough Fair, you know at some point soon I'm going to be humming "The Boxer", singing "Cecilia" and pondering "I Am a Rock".

That just launches me into a Simon & Garfunkel medley and sometimes I'll even pull up a few tunes on my cell phone.

My kids just roll their eyes but then I launch into my personal favorite "A Hazy Shade of Winter".
Of course, once I sing that first line of "A Hazy Shade of Winter", I think to myself, "I should add a bit more thyme,"

and the medleys start over once again.
