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.

What do you wear in Austin in October??

It's suppose to be in the 80's during the day, and only in the 70's at night. It's humid. I'm not sure what to pack. For once I'm attending a conference instead of having a booth at the tradeshow and networking that way. It's going to be good...to be in the classroom, listening to what people are caring about now. I look forward to it. But I'm spending way too much time worrying about whether jeans are too hot, capris are too cliche, clogs are passe, should I just go with a theme and be done with it, and all that crap. Seriously, you'd think I have better things to waste mental energy on, right? Apparently not so much.

Stormy Tuesday, with a chance of showers too....

The emotions, to say they're wildly fluctuating would be an exaggeration, but they are certainly not balanced and I am so not centered and I'm finding it really hard to maintain my train of thought and I'm now even more worried about my son moving to Abu Dhabi now that they're further limiting Blackberry communications, and my daughter has a stomach bug. But other than that, everything's cool in my world. Son heads to Abu Dhabi this Saturday, early evening my time. Daughter heads to Providence, RI, this Saturday, before lunch. Hubby just informed me we're committed to a dinner at his department head's house Saturday night for a 'casual evening with the new headmaster and his wife.' Are you kidding me? WTF? Of all the things I want to be doing Saturday night, I'm pretty sure schmoozing with the new guy (hub's boss for hell sake) is NOT on the list. My list looks more like this: Take a nap after first wave of absolute searingly...
