  • Eggy in a Basket

    Eggy in a Basket

    I don’t want to bore you with a long story about how I got into this fantastic breakfast, but there is in fact a story. So I’ll keep it short, and sweet.

    I saw V for Vendetta (my favorite movie btw) when I was young. It came out in 2005, and I was 13. What always stuck in my mind is when V made Evie an eggy in a basket. It was made for her again by another character later in the movie. Her joy at eating one, as well as the happiness V seemed to feel when she ate it made me curious.

    However, I did not eat one until college. My partner, Ryan, saw V for Vendetta with me for the first time, and noticed how excited and happy I got when V made it. So he made one for me. Now, we have them regularly, for breakfast and dinner.

    They’re pretty easy to make. All you need is bread, butter and a single egg. And maybe some salt and pepper as well.

    The hardest part of making an Eggy in a Basket is flipping it and not breaking the yolk. The easiest part? Eating it.

  • Huevos Rancheros

    Huevos Rancheros

    On this lovely Monday, we are celebrating a holiday called: President’s Day! In order to celebrate correctly, and have some fun, Eric and I looked up the documented favorite foods of all the Presidents!

    Some were incredibly boring, old fashioned or gross, and some were just not so doable. We settled on this delicious dish, a favorite of our 43rd President, George W. Bush. According to the Lifestyle section of Wide Open Eats, W. would have a post-church meal of Huevos Rancheros every Sunday they weren’t at Camp David.

    Traditionally, this is a breakfast dish served in the style of large mid-morning fare on rural Mexican farms. The main ingredients are tortillas, eggs, a tomato-chili sauce, refried beans, rice, avocado or guacamole.

    In order to make one that I would eat, and that I could keep improving on, I changed some of the ingredients to make mine. I did not use refried beans as I don’t like them, used a salsa verde sauce, and fresh tomato salsa and added a cheese element that isn’t necessary tradional. I kept the rice and the avocado of course because who doesn’t want that?
