As an only child to a single mother back in the 60 's ,I was often farmed out between aunts .My holiday aunt was Jessie , she lived in Northcote ,Victoria in a long skinny house that was joined to an exact replica of her own ....it was a different world from my aunt Ruby`s whom I lived with for many years ....My aunt Ruby taught me my prayers , my love of cooking and the greatest gift of routine .
Life was so different with aunt Jessie , no routine just fun ....but I also learnt from watching her daughter my cousin Ruth to make aunt Jessie`s morning tonic .
Put one whole cracked egg into a shaker (she used a glass and a fork ) a shake of pepper and salt , a pour of tomato sauce , Worcestershire sauce , a drop of vinegar , a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of cayenne pepper ...
Aunt Jessie told me it was an egg flip for adults !
