It looks to me like what you have there is a great breakfast! Certainly drool worthy! "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.

On more than one occasion I've allowed the seasoning to bubble up and peel, then just seasoned right over the top of the mess. I have another one of these with the smooth surface, but it still has the sticker on it and the parafin. Probably worth some decent bucks. Then, of course there's several old ones, and pots, that I pick up at sales, etc...but never get around to using.

Worked just fine. You have big problem happening in that skillet. There's only ONE egg. Two's better ... three is just right.

I prefer to season them by cooking bacon, right before I cook my eggs. Bacon fat is the most slippery stuff you can put in one, IMO. I prefer the smooth ones, I have gotten rid of every rough one I have ever had, except the dutch ovens...they get bacon fat too! Egg looks good, but lonely. Larry
