As most readers will know, there has been a proliferation of monthly food blog events, like Is My Blog Burning?, Worldwide Wine Blogging Wednesday, Does My Blog Look Good in This? , Sugar High Fridays and now, the Paper Chef. It can be a bit overwhelming trying to participate in all of them – so no wonder that a week or two ago, Anthony at Spiceblog posted a piece called Does My Blog Burn Out Saturday. In it, he proposed a whole bunch of ideas for similar, yet slightly off the wall, cooking days, like:
“*Is my Sacrifice to Baal Worthy? Wednesday
* Localised Good Luck Getting These Ingredients Monthly
* Travesty of Tradition Tuesday
* Where I’ve hid the Gin Sunday
* Feast on the Flesh of Thine Enemy Foodblog Fiesta
* Worldwide use of Foodstuffs in a Non-food way Wednesday
* Nude with Food November
* International No Really You can Make Delicious and Moist Cakes in the Microwave Monday
* You’re Late, You’re Drunk, The Dinner’s in The Oven and It’s Burnt Wednesday
* The only Thing I can do right Is Cook and Now I’ve gone and burnt this cake Thursday
* Haven’t had These Since Prison Wednesday
* Surreptitiously Testing Food Allergies September
* Trinational Killing and Grilling Tuesday
* All Offal October”
Anyway, in the comments section I then added a few more, like
* “Is that raccoon really dead?” – Roadkill Thursdays
* Cholesterol fry-up Fridays
* End-of-month egg-on-toast extravaganza
* Amuse Bouche-tucker – tasty appetisers from the Outback
As is his habit, Mr Spiceblog took the whole joke one step further and posted his contribution to the EoMEoTE#1, as if it were an actual event. And as creator of the concept, I feel I can’t possibly refrain from posting too, so below is what we had for breakfast over the weekend:
Scrambled egg (whites whipped separately for extra fluffiness), wilted spinach (wilted in a pan with some olive oil and garlic) and smoked salmon on wholewheat toast. Note also the home-grown chives scattered on top! So OK, it doesn’t really fit in with the original concept (i.e. I’m eating egg on toast because I have no money, it’s not payday yet and it’s all I have) – but what the hell, rules are meant to be broken. And I couldn’t resist…!
Let’s see what the end of next month brings…
