Toad in a Hole

I don't know we always called this toad in a hole. It's not the real deal British toad in a hole - which is sausages in a Yorkshire Pudding batter, but it is a nice version. It makes a nice lunch on a weekend when you don't know what you feel like eating.
Obvs this is for two and the recipe is for one

Toad in a Hole

1 slice bread
1 egg
butter
salt/pepper

Place the bread on a flat surface and using a glass about 3" across cut out a circle of bread. You will need to give the glass a little twist. Butter both sides of the bread and the bread circle. Place on a skillet or griddle. Cook until egg starts to set and bread is toasted. Flip and cook on the other side until done. Meanwhile toasted the bread circle on the skillet/griddle. Salt and pepper egg.
The best part about the bread circle is you have something to dip in the egg yolk. The British call them soldiers. OK really soldiers are strips of bread that they dip into soft boiled eggs but since I was messing their version toad in the hole I thought I could call the soldiers the wrong thing too ;-)

New Kid on the Block

So here's a picture of the new kid on the block. Ain't she a beauty? It's a Blomberg . They are fairly new to the US. They have been around in Europe for quite a while. I really liked the design. I've been dying to have a freezer on the bottom. With the old refrigerator I would constantly lose brain cells by hitting my head on the freezer will poking around in the refrigerator. It really makes sense to have the refrigerator on top - that is where you spend most of your time. When we bought the old one, it was an emergency situation. The prior one was leaking on the floor and was no longer cooling. Fifteen years ago the freezer on the bottom was just starting to get popular but we were in no situation to wait for delivery. We had to take what they had on hand. Now the freezer on the bottom is by no means unique. What is - is this freezer's design. There are 3 compartments in the freezer. I used to have a chest freezer in the basement and everything would get los...

Mensa Member?

I think Mickey is a member of Mensa. We heard him last night but could not determine where he was in the kitchen (or should I say the Sous Chef could not locate him - I certainly was not looking). He had been lurking in the toaster cabinet the night before and averted the glue trap. This is absolute torture. Still no cooking going on.

Mr. Boston

Since we were discussing cocktails, I thought I would discuss Mr. Boston . The Sous Chef has his father's Mr. Boston and then the girls one year for Christmas got him the new version.  They are different enough that you need to keep both of them. We had once thought about working our way through the book but then decided that probably wasn't a good idea.  We have found some really tasty treats though. Old Mr. Boston/New Mr. Boston Here is one of them: Banana Foster (from New Mr. Boston) 2 scoops vanilla ice cream 1 1/2 oz spiced rum 1/2 oz banana liqueur 1 medium banana cinnamon Combine ingredients in blender.  Blend until smooth.  Pour into a large glass and sprinkle with cinnamon I guess there is one improvement with the new Mr. Boston - the index is a bit better. In the old version, you cannot look up the drink by name. You can only look it up by liquor - which doesn't really help you out if you don't know what is in say a grasshopper and just wa...
