Back from grocery shopping and realizing that 80% of my purchases were vegetables and healthy stuff. I think this mindset and focus is starting to take.
"From Egg in a hole, Toad in a Hole and Eggy in a Basket to Hobo Eggs, it seems that everyone calls this breakfast treat by a different name. But from now on I will call it Egg in a Nest thanks to a comment left on my Flickr photo! An egg tucked into a piece of bread and fried?"

My husband called them Gas House Eggs. We never knew why. Maybe guys living on the work site made them?
- m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
I'd never heard of or seen such a thing until a few months ago on FF when someone posted about these. I tried to make it once since then but I think I did it wrong because the whites were still runny when the toast was dark.
- Rochelle
I thank the film "V for Vendetta" for introducing me to this delicious item of food, although I curse them for calling it "Eggy in a Basket" and saying it's an English delicacy. This meal's excellence quotient can be increased with the addition of bacon.
- Le Slip Anglais
Of course, you mean butter that has first fried bacon, don't you? :-)

My favorite name so far? One-eyed toast.
- Derrick
Well, I was going to make this for breakfast but the only sliced bread we have is a sourdough loaf and it wasn't tall enough to cut a circle out of so I just cooked two eggs and set them on top of a slice of sourdough toast. With ketchup. Yep.
- Rochelle
Egg frames are what folks in my family always called them.
- Katy S
Rochelle, keep practicing. Much like grilled cheese, you need a medium to medium-high heat to give the eggs time to cook but not burn the toast. Also, I cover the frying pan to help set the whites and, if necessary, flip it once at the end.
- Laura Norvig
Laura, will do! When I cook eggs, I always flip once because I like the yolks to have a cooked layer on the top.
- Rochelle
It's also fun to use small cookie cutters to get different shapes in the middle. We have used a star - it's not perfect but it's cute.
- Laura Norvig
I still didn't get around to making this yet. Maybe for dinner.
- Derrick
I seem to recall knowing it as Toad in a Hole from childhood and it's definitely tasty. However, my English grandmother rarely made it and almost always made us what she called Eggy which involved toast cut into strips which we then dipped into soft boiled eggs (held in egg cups) so similar effect in a very different form.
- Maria Niles
I just made these for lunch! I was so worried about the whites being runny that I overcooked the yolk. I'm out of practice. They were still great though. Wade had a candy cane shape and I had a star. He said he wants to eat them every day. And he's asking for another one right now.
- Laura Norvig
We call them one-eyed Egyptians since I can remember.

I bet the Dictionary of American Regional English has a lot to say about this...

my mom makes "egg in a nest" using a soft boiled egg "nested" in mashed potatoes. don't knock it 'til you try it. cures a hangover like nobody's biz
- αnnα vαȵ scoyoç
Camel's eyes here. And yes, delicious. Also, anna, that sounds delicious and sort of like what I do with poached (or fried) egg on savory oats.
- ellbeecee
Toad in the hole is sausages cooked in Yorkshire puddings, preferably with lashings of onion gravy.
- Heleninstitches
I saw an old movie once where they called them Gas House eggs, we call 'em Hole in Ones.

I'm assuming some kind of music video. This is a popular dance/activity of some kind...I think in Jamaica. There was an epidemic of broken weiners as a result. (this is not a joke)
- Rahsheen?
Dude...that video is just...WTF. I thought I'd seen it all, but they're just blatantly miming all types of innapropriate shit to the nth degree
- Rahsheen?
That video made my netherbits hurt just watching it. :-/
- Hookuh Tinypants
Probably hasn't been heard of since because you can actually BREAK YOUR WINKY! Which is highly disturbing to me. Hence why I would never even think of doing this. I treasure my winky, along with a relatively small number of other individuals.

"This dish is a great example of the whole equalling more than the sum of its parts. At first glance, this recipe seems simple enough, but we've never tasted grilled zucchini quite like this. The porous squash soaks up the lemon, garlic, herbs and chili in the marinade, and after a quick char on the barbecue, it's positively bursting with flavor. Add the soft, mellow sweetness of red onion grilled in its own skin and you've got a bowl of vegetables that's addictive. You'll have leftover marinade, which is a good thing: reuse it to grill more veggies or drizzle over a salad."

I've been eating mostly veggie lately. This will be good to try!
- Melissa
Looks amazing! I've also stir-fried zucchini/summer squash in butter, tossing in some grated parmesan at the end. If the squash still has some crispness to it, you've done it right. #OmNomNom
- Ordinarybug Heather
"This seemed like a natural pairing to me as I (far too regularly) indulge in pretzels dipped in Nutella. The original recipe has a layer of peanut butter, but I have a weird food phobia of peanuts, so swapped it out for almond butter; feel free to experiment. This is also the place to bust out your best chocolate as its cut with little but cream; I used Green & Black’s 70% which was delicious, but might go with something closer to 60% (Ghiradelli 60% Bittersweet is my favorite supermarket-available alternative) next time."

I have a career prep thing tomorrow in Baton Rouge and we're required to dress professionally. :(
- Derrick
from past experience, if you don't wear them often the shoes will last a long, long time. I've got one pair of expensive ass shoes that I keep only for special circumstances...friends getting married, interviews, etc.
- Sir Shuping is just sir
I'd honestly like to dress a little more professionally than I have been. I have 20 pairs of Levi's, but no real dress pants. I'm off to buy a pair now.

We've been over this sock thing... Those socks rock.
- Bren
from iPhone
The socks are fabulous, and totally fine for library professional.
- Kirsten
Ok When I say professional I mean business attire.. one can wear those sock if working in libary or bookshop etc.. but in an office env. i think its questionable..
- Peter Dawson
Very sharp. And "not visibly soiled" is usually good enough for "library professional." You'll be turning heads.
- Steele Lawman
I fully plan to rock the stripey socks when I become a full-time civilian. :D :D :D
- c.a.j.
I know professionals such as doctors and lawyers who rock funky socks. There are certain office environments where such sartorial selections are frowned upon, but, increasingly, I see more acceptance of men wearing cool ties and socks to spiff up and individualize their professional wardrobe.
- Katy S
I'm starting to wear boots again. Inspired by you, babydoll.
- Melissa
Oh these are always so ridiculously easy to make. Which is why I rarely make them. Because I will sit there and pop these damn things like bon bons until they're gone.

"Refrigerate balls for 30 minutes to 1 hour." I don't understand how that's going to help me make these, but it sounds interesting, to say the least. :P
- DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
i never make these for the same reason....i will eat them until i'm sick
- ~Courtney F
And yet right now...RIGHT NOW...I want some and I'm already thinking of how I have all the ingredients at home, not doing anything but waiting to be mixed, dipped, and devoured. MY THIGHS HATE YOU NOW, DERRICK.
- Hookuh Tinypants
I wonder what would happen if you substituted Nutella for peanut butter?
- Katy S
I have with spaghetti squash. It's a nice attempt, but falls short of pasta. I think if I thought of it as...well, squash and NOT pasta, I'd embrace it more.
- Derrick
You can't sit there and eat a whole plate of pasta. It's really not good for you, not good for anybody. But you can have a smaller amount, less frequently than the average Italian, and be just fine. Like was suggested, go with whole wheat or Dreamfields (my hubby is a type 2 diabetic on a low carb diet and Dreamfields was recommended by his doctor). Just remember not to overcook it....
