...this past Saturday, we had a Tweet-Up at Trailhead in downtown St. Charles. We had decided to meet up at 1pm so first things first, I had chores to get done in the morning! Matt was headed to his grandma's to work in her yard and I was baking cakes for the Sausage Supper at church on Sunday. As I was baking, I only had one egg left so Matt asked if I would make an egg for him. Sure no problem! But being me and seeing no fun in cooking just one egg, I decided I would try to make him an "
Egg in a Basket" AKA "
Toad in a Hole." Basically, you use a cookie cutter to remove the center of the bread.
Then cook the egg inside the toast.
I made it, served it and you would have thought the sky was falling!!! He was freaking out!!! Ahh...men! They're so hard to please!!! I should have just made the egg, I didn't know he'd flip about some toast around it!
Anyways, long story short, I made him breakfast, baked two cakes, ran with Emma (mainly to burn calories from sampling cake batter!), did dishes, laundry, showered, iced the cakes AND got ready all before lunch-whew! I finally got to Trailhead to meet up with the Twit-Gals, (left to right): Meg, Jen, Cece, Della, Jenn and me
It was a great time! However, every time I looked at Meg, "it turned into sex!" Conversation that is but that's not how it came out! We shared lots of laughs, lots of calories (that didn't count bc they don't count when you're with friends, right?), lots of stories and we can't wait until next month! Hopefully, we'll have lots more of these meet-ups plus I'll be seeing some of these ladies on the race course.

I love eggs in a basket. Good stuff. I've made a version with french bread, olive oil, a little garlic and a little parmesan, plus the egg. Best.Thing.Ever.
Nope. None of those calories counted. We laughed them off. :o)
Looks like fun, glad ya'll had a nice time together!
I might have to try that egg in a basket thing...it looks yummy. My kids love eggs too.
We call it toad in a hole. I love that you use a cookie cutter. I just rip a hole in the bread. I serve it with beans - must be heinz with the blue label. So good!
Oh, gosh! You and Cece look so beautiful!!!! How fun! :)
You are correct - calories do not count when you're with friends!!
Keith would have loved that egg surprise - he loves eggs in general.
Love the egg in a basket thing. C and I eat eggs almost every day, and he loves when I cook them like that. I normally make the hole a bit smaller though, and I dont toast the bread before. it gets crispy in the skillet.
