Huevos ala Moonstruck

Remember Moonstruck, the movie?

Yeah, the one with Cher, Nicolas Cage, Olympia Dukakis, Danny Aielo, Vincent Gardenia and other good actors. And that great scene with the really huge moon. Love that scene. Every time I go to New York I look for that moon, but no luck yet.

Cosmo's moon looked a little like this one:





Fun movie.

When you're a freaky food lover like me, though, you tend to take things away from movie experiences besides just the plot, the acting, the directing, etc.

You take away ideas for food. Which is how we permanently added Moonstruck Eggs to our breakfast recipes.

You just slice a thick slice of sourdough bread, butter both sides, carve a hole in it for an egg, then slap it into a pan. Drop an egg into the hole, let it cook for while, then flip. As you're flipping, spray a little Pam or butter beneath where the egg is going to hit the pan or it'll stick. Be sure to cook the round pieces of bread you carved out, too. They get nice and crispy.

Finish cooking, plate up, then ladle a nice green chili sauce over the top. Apparently we're incapable of leaving well enough alone when it comes to recipes. Fortunately, the results are usually good, and this is no exception.

Enjoy with a steaming cup of java or soothing green tea, depending on your taste.

Schnazzed up Desert Magnolia..again, thanks to LP the graphics guru!

Happy Thursday, everyone! Nope, it's not quite Spring yet, but sometimes a girl's gotta get a new 'do. Or in this case this girl's gotta get a new blog header. You know what I mean. Thank you LP! You rock. I love the artistic approach..it's soft but nice and still says, 'Enter here at your own risk, for opinions of a strong nature are sure to be expressed.' That's how I see it, anyway.

May I please be excused?

When G.G. was sorting through the mail the other night he stopped, then started to chuckle. And then he handed me an envelope in which a Jury Summons was contained. He chuckled because he has been called twice, and I have never been called. And for some reason he thought that wasn't right, or fair, or something. Well, I got mine. But it turns out I need to ask them a favor. To postpone my civic duty until after the holidays. Because before the holidays I am responsible for planning and overseeing and/or executing all year end marketing and PR for our little company, as well as publishing our final edition of an e-pub that now distributes to over 300K people each edition, so it needs to look good. And not have spelling errors and stuff. And then when that e-pub flies? I'll be flying, literally, to Providence, then to Europe and the Middle East. There's a lot to get done before I go, and I'm desperately hoping that our jury management system accepts my reque

Running Shoes...with Waves

Remember when you had one pair of tennies and they were for everything? Everything. Those days ended for me in high school when I started to run in earnest. In Nike Pegasus, their original running shoe, in white leather with a red swoosh. They were cushiony and durable and made me feel like less of a poser and more like a real runner. After that the style options exploded. I can't remember when Nike came out with their patented Air technology, but I had one of the original pairs..paid a ton of money for them, but it was money well spent. I ran all over the place in those things. All over. The foothills, the valley, sidewalks, parks, around the Academy, wherever...many miles in the originals. Generations of shoes later, I find myself not so happy with the Nike anymore. I've spent thousands of dollars on them in my life, but a few years back began to notice what I deemed to be a general decline in quality, though they've never stopped increasing their prices with ea
