Silky Smooth Scrambled Eggs

Recipe inspired by the play “A Raisin in the Sun” by Lorraine Hansberry

Never be afraid to sit a while and think.

Lorraine sat a while and thought. Thank Jesus this first plate of eggs and sausage arrived, she was about to eat the paper she was writing on! In between mouthfuls, the story beneath her fingertips was beginning to take shape. Remembering her father and how hard he worked to try to not only provide the essentials of food, shelter and care but to also provide his children with a more just and accepting world. Silky Scrambled Eggs.

She worried about him because of his “failure” to change the rights and freedoms of the American black man had sent him desolated, mind and soul, to Mexico. She worried that even with all of the effort through the “correct” channels of the Justice System, the changes for her and her compatriots were so minuscule.  She worried about her own course in life, and if she would get to share the “American Dream”. She worried whether or not she would continue to bear the pressure, sagging under the heavy load, or would she explode?
