This one time we went to the grocery store, and we heard "Bulletproof" of all things. Kieran sang along. Loudly. "This time, baby, I'll beeee... BULLET! PROOF!"
- Zamms
so the song that was playing when this happened? "Separate Ways". which just made me think of MC and Colleen.

"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?"
- Derrick
from Bookmarklet
I grew up on these... had 'em about once a week. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's the first recipe I learned to cook for myself. That or grilled cheese sandwiches. Oh, in our house, they were an "Egg-in-one" :P
- Brent
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.
- Slippy
And they must be cooked in butter -- accept no substitutes :)
- Brent
Of course, you mean butter that has first fried bacon, don't you? :-)
- Slippy
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
I've seen this but I don't think I've ever made it.
- Eric
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.

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.
- Helensleydale
I saw an old movie once where they called them Gas House eggs, we call 'em Hole in Ones.
- LibrarianOnTheLoose
NOT "toad in the hole"—A Toad in the Hole is a sausage embedded in a Yorkshire pudding.
- I like big Botts
We called them 'One Eyed Egyptians' when growing up. Now I call them One Eyed EggJipShans

I might have made a mistake by telling my family that I had made these for myself recently. My wife is asking for this now. :)

"Me & Mum had a little trip out to Bicester town, it was before Woolies closed as we needed to take back a wireless keyboard that didn't work. Its somewhere we haven't been for ages, we used to go there more often when I was younger - especially before Banbury built Castle Quays shopping centre, it also had the bonus that it was near my Nan's house, so good if we were going visiting and wanted to pick up some supplies."
- edythe
from Bookmarklet
"Bicester seems a little quaint to me now, partly since it doesn't have a shopping centre/mall, just a few streets with little shops, along with a few major names. But also because within that it seems to have barely changed since I was a kid, and it retains some of its charm, it still has a greengrocers and has two bakeries! This is pretty suprising when there is no bakery in Banbury, and Brackley's closed a few years ago, which probably something to do with cheaper supermarket bread/cakes."
- edythe
"This one has a little cafe in the back room, where we stopped off and had a drink, a bacon sarnie and a lovely cake! (a little treat, yes) Mum had this cream eclair and I had an proper nice iced bun (yum!) before returning home to sort out the post Christmas mess..."

oh baby, the Grand Canyon is Awesome. Isaac Hayes's Black Moses was awesome. This is a young man so hung over it hurts to inhale. There is a lot of vodka in that glass with a smidge of orange juice for coloring. They tell me I had a ball on that vacation. I don't remember much. I do remember leading a crowd of people from McDaniel (Techwood) Dorm onto Tech's Main Campus. We had a boom...

Yup. I had no fear (or shame) back then. I had this whole Bill Murray goofy/cracking wisely/court jester thing going for me. When people got angry, or in my face, I disarmed them with "goofy hedonistic logic". At least, that's what I called it.

This is how green I am to Apple. I did not know there was 64bit Itunes. downloading it now. Also did not know you *have* to connect an iPad to a computer with Itunes to use it. 80 meg download. wow.
- Mike Nencetti
First connect to Itunes, and I am asked to upgrade the iPad from 3.2.2 to version 4.2. I say yes. The download appears to take 1 hour. another wow.
- Mike Nencetti
success. now to activate the MIFI. (edit MIFI up and running, I like how they put the install in the device) ready to start testing.
- Mike Nencetti
I don't think my wife has connected her iPad to her computer since she first set it up weeks ago.
- Bruce Lewis
the MIFI is easy to setup. To change the default settings you need to go to 192.168.1.1 and log in with a default password of admin, however the directions make you go to a Novatel wireless page, and look for the PDF, scroll to page 26 to find this simple fact out.
- Mike Nencetti
Testing on a bumpy commute home. Connects fast. Not sure where to put the mifi device...tonights testing will be printing to wifi and pc connected printers.
- Mike Nencetti
Apparently my HP Photosmart Plus 209b is not compatible... 210b is. May buy a 4$ printing app, as the list of air printers is rather small.
- Mike Nencetti
Yeah, we're using a linux box as a print server. With airprint-generate.py it works well.
- Bruce Lewis
installed airprint on my windows 7 PC. http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19... Took a while to find airprint.zip. links were not working.... I found it on 4shared. I had to manually add airprint.exe to the firewall, was not prompted. when I connected to each printer on the ipad, I had to sign in with my local userid and pw for the home computer. it works!
- Mike Nencetti
As a test, I printed the instructions off of the web page. Then I realized it is 85 pages, 500 meg. the local computer can cancel the printout, fortunately.
- Mike Nencetti
Thanks for that link mike. Will get AirPrint running ASAP.
- Roberto Bonini
Printing to a laptop on a Domain, running Win 7 64. I was able to print, by authenticating to the laptops local admin account, with the laptop's wifi off of the corporate network. it was not letting me authenticate to my domain account. I prefer it connecting to the local account.

I don't get the archiving Gmail to the All Mail folder, instead of deleting. That threw me off. fortunately you can set it to delete. The default is archive.

Signed up for my first NetFlix account. I played a documentary about parking lots. the movie froze up 15 min in, then was grainy. I accidentally exited the app, apparently this ends the movie, and signs me out of Netflix. Netflix has no record of me watching the movie. I will experiment with this more, but it is not easy with very few good movies to watch.
- Mike Nencetti
We had a similar experience with our first attempt at Netflix streaming a couple months ago. It's been a lot better since then. Just bad luck I guess. We really like it now.

Purchased first iPad app WinAdmin, to use with VPN. This is a Windows remote desktop protocol (RDP) client. definitely worth 9$. (works fine over the MIFI) This is something that the Android platform cannot do. Cisco IPSEC Group Authentication. Maybe someday they will add it.... it's not on 2.2
- Mike Nencetti
Tested Print Bureau. This prints directly to my wifi HP Photosmart Plus 209b. There are more features like file sharing that I have not tested, as I use Dropbox. Recommend this for people with WIFI printers that are not Airprint compatible.
- Mike Nencetti
Watched Star Trek on Netflix. no pauses, no grainy video. Maybe Netflix isn't that bad.
- Mike Nencetti
Testing Winadmin and VPN at home. Rotating the IPad 90 degrees disconnected me from my remote session, but not vpn. I just had to re log on to the remote computer. need to disable rotation or look into the Winadmin options.

Done most of my iPad testing. Weprint and the service airprint both seem to cause freezeups on the computers I loaded them on. Windows Defender thinks Weprint could be malware, most likely due to its file share feature. Another interesting point I need to document. I bought 2 apps using my cc, and the transactions have not shown up.....

Mike, try OurDoings on the iPad now. It's better on every platform (other than FF3 or IE7), but especially improved on the iPad. You can swipe to switch pictures. The photos fill the screen. Controls disappear after a few seconds, and reappear on a tap.

Excellent! I on the other hand bought 4 gigs of RAM for my computer and it seems that I almost never use more than 2.5. Maybe we can set up some sort of RAM time-sharing system where I rent out extra RAM to you…
- Amit Patel
You probably don't need 24GB, but 2GB is pretty marginal for modern OSes and browsers. Once you get past the chokepoint, you'd probably be in good shape--e.g., 3GB might be plenty.
- Walt Crawford
Walt, now I'm thinking I need 36GB. Then I'd be unstoppable.

I see a lot of people make this mistake of thinking performance problems can be solved with more RAM, when really it's all about the number and quality of organisms on treadmills.
