I must say, it's been so long since I had the "real" egg fu yung that I have no idea whether these are truly authentic tasting or not. But I love your idea of the next-day scramble, mixing in all the other ingredients (and would love one of those scones, I'm sure). :)Rickihttp://dietdessertndogs.comnoreply@blogger.com
