"I would like one dippy egg please"
I started this shop because I was sick and tired of my family and friends saying 'OMG YOU SHOULD SELL THESE' every time I made something for them. So here I am. Selling these. Whatever 'these' happens to be on any given day. I like making lots of different types of things. It's a little bit of a hodge-podge, but I am also a little bit of a hodge-podge, so it's all good. I'm doing my best.
Now about the name:
My grandmother and grandfather (Nana and Pop-pop) lived in an attached in-law apartment while my brother and I were growing up, and before we went off to school, Nana would make us dippy eggs. What is a dippy egg, you ask? It is an egg cooked sunny side up, then flipped over and cooked for JUST A SEC so that the white hardens up but the yolk stays liquid so you can...well...dip. It wasn't until much later in life that I realized not everyone calls this a 'dippy egg' and that the term 'dippy egg' is confusing to people outside of the Pennsylvania area. The term 'egg', however, is comfortable and familiar, and it is for these reasons I decided to call this little shop Dippy Egg Designs: Just the right mixture of 'yes I understand what this is' and 'what the heck does that mean? I'm curious' to make you take a peek!
And I'm so glad you took a peek! I hope you found something that made you smile and I hope you've been enlightened on the topic of dippy eggs. Ask for one next time you're out to breakfast, you won't regret it!
