Yesterday's food; 3 lc sausages with a little tomato sauce; ham with salad and pickled onions plus 2 crackerbreads. Also had some straberries with yoghurt. Hope you've all had a good day. Today (sunday) I have some meaty spare ribsfor lunch with cauli and broccoli and a tin of red salmon for tea with some salad.

Did the yolk break in the pan or on your plate @IanBish? If the former, as looks likely from your photo, this may be a sign that your egg was not as fresh, as you'd expect.
It can also happen when the shell is papery thin. If on cracking open, you don't get a clean break, tiny pieces of jagged shell can find their way into the pan unseen and puncture the yolk membrane.

It looked fine when I cracked it. It's weird, when I make omelettes I can crack three eggs and they all stay intact. But when I try to fry one...

It can happen to any of us @IanBish if the eggshell is thinner than normal.
Do you crack your eggs on the edge of a cup? Have you tried giving the egg a whack on a flat surface instead?
When I was little and that happened to my dad he used to say “: oh, I’ve managed to make a Queen egg”, even though this just meant the yolk was broken we used to all clamour to get the “ queen egg.” Smart or mean?
Brealfast was in a rush so cheese on lc toast
Lunch was grilled shrimp in Marie rose on lc roll with a bit of Greek salad
Dinner will be grilled Mahi Mahi with Brussel sprout salad. And a few glasses of wine.

Saturday same brekkie.
Lunch was chopped salad.
Supper was Tandoori King Prawn and cauli bhajee.
Sunday usual brekkie.
Lunch was small mixed salad. Biscuit tea.
Evening big bbq at way too much delicious meat and (whisper) one brioche bun with my burger. Leftovers today and will restrain myself.

That sauce looks good. I’ll be looking out for it on my next trip to M&S
What do you think of Biscuit tea? It’s really funny you mentioned it as I saw it for the first time today and bought some. I wasn’t keen on it though.

@MommaE I’m going to call a broken yolk a Queen egg from now on, it does make it sound special, rather than an accident.
Today I had Chaffles for breakfast ( 1 egg a spoonful of cream cheese and a couple of handsfull of grated cheese)
Lunch was an egg wrap ( again one egg and a spoonful of cream cheese made into a thin omelette) with beef, salad and horseradish filling. Handful of nuts.
D- leftover l/c lasagne. I used deli chicken slices instead of pasta sheets. It worked well, sauce was just cream and grated cheese. Mixed salad with it.
