He believes that if you’re going to have eggs with “stuff” in them, you should have an omelet. And, if you’re going to have pie, there are more delicious fillings than eggs to fill a pie crust. Nonetheless, he has agreed to attend the McCune-Brooks Regional Hospital Auxiliary luncheon with me on Thursday. Personally, I like quiche. The wild rice salad, muffin and drink that accompany the entree also sound tasty. The luncheon, priced at $6, is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the hospital lobby.
