"How can one eat too much bacon?" wonders Drew, oblivious as always to health concerns and totally obsessed with flavour.
"What about those Huevos Fagiole you made?" asks Raul. "That was a taste treat."
"I can make them," offers Drew as he looks up briefly from the computer.
"You have too much work to do," says Raul diplomatically. "How did you make them?"
"I just heated the fagiole, made little pockets in it while it bubbled and then popped the eggs in to pouch," says Drew. "Just be sure to put the lid on the pot so that the eggs heat from the top as well."
"A lid," ponders Raul under his breath. "I can improve on that."
Raul hits the fagiole until it is bubbling then ladles it into onion soup bowls. He makes a small indentation and then pops in the eggs. The bowls are then placed in the oven - heat from above! - and bakes them at 350 degrees until the eggs are poached to perfection and visual excellence.
"What a great idea," says Drew as he digs in.
"There is always room for little tweaks of improvement," notes Raul proudly.
