EoMEoTE#10 – The Cat in the Hat edition

by Jeanne Horak on August 26, 2005 28 Comments in EoMEoTE

I’m your host

With the most –

Will you bring me eggs on toast?

You can get them from a can,

You can fry them in a pan,

You can put them on a flan.

You can cook them with a man

You could even call him Stan,

And you might meet his sister Fran.

So use your hands, use your legs –

Who cares – just make toast and eggs!!

It’s the end of the month and you know what that means…  It’s time for the End of Month Egg on Toast Extravaganza!  Despite seriously considering a Beowulf theme, in the end I relented and went with the redoubtable Dr Seuss, he of Green Eggs and Ham fame.  See – it’s easy!!

Let your imagination run totally wild, but just remember the two fundamental rules:

1. There must be eggs.

2. There must be carbohydrates (bread, crackers, potatoes, pancakes, waffles… I’m not picky!)

Make it, snap it, eat it, blog it – sometime before next weekend would be good.  Then send me an e-mail or a link (I’m afraid I don’t feel a ripple in the Force every time an entry is posted…!) and I’ll include you in the roundup.  For neophytes, here’s a potted history, and here’s the Harry Potter roundup from last time.

So go!!  Find a bloke named Stan and get cooking!! 😉

More deliciousness for you!

    I am so tempted to render Al Pacino from his Oscar-buying role onto a pancake or perhaps a corn tortilla that I could later sell on eBay, since he might look like Jesus…and dye some eggs green and serve up “Green Eggs and Ham,” but the fact is, my printer is out of ink and it’s not feasible.
    So just let your imagination picture my version of “Green Eggs and Ham” for a few moments.
    I’d seriously like to do something about this, since this book is all the rage with the toddler in our house right now. Oh, the commentary we manage to sneak in about organic eggs and celebrity gossip.
    I am so glad I found your lovely blog. Especially the farmers market bit.

    I have attempted a bit of egg and bread. I have also attempted a literary masterpiece (er, maybe not). I couldn’t find Stan, though.

    Hey there Jeanne…more fun as usual!…no problem getting my eggs to go green (with a little spinach and zucchini mixed in) but damned if I could find any green ham…so fell back on lobster as usual (here in Maine they grow on trees!)…considered Photoshopping a green eggs and lobster concoction but rhyming with lobster (aside from mobster) is a tough one…anyway, here it is: http://www.stephencooks.com/2005/08/lobster_zucchin.html

    What a fun choice. Here’s my version of green eggs – no ham and I couldn’t resist throwing in a favorite from my childhood that wasn’t green but tasted delicious. You can check it out at www DOT 4everykitchen DOT com

The wonderful Museum of the Moon installation - a The wonderful Museum of the Moon installation - a 7 metre diameter scale model of the moon suspended in the Painted Hall at the  @oldroyalnavalcollege in Greenwich this week, by @lukejerramartist. A surreal and fabulous sight!
Do you enjoy free art installations? Then you need Do you enjoy free art installations? Then you need to get down to @canarywharflondon between now and Saturday 28 Jan to catch the free Winter Lights 2023 event, back for the seventh year.

My favourites include @lukejerramartist ‘s Floating Earth; Tom Lambert’s Out of the Dark; Fluorescent Firs; Toroid by This is Loop; and the surreal and mesmerising Anima by MEATS - a tunnel filled with hundreds of thin optical fibre lights that change colour and move in the breeze 😍 

Have you been to Winter Lights? What was your favourite?
“When we look down at the Earth from space, we s “When we look down at the Earth from space, we see this amazing, indescribably beautiful planet. It looks like a living, breathing organism. But it also, at the same time, looks extremely fragile.” - International Space Station astronaut Ron Garamond

To experience the “overview effect” (a phenomenon experienced by astronauts viewing the earth from space), head down to Canary Wharf in the London docklands this week where you can see @lukejerramartist ‘s beautiful Floating Earth installation as part of the Winter Lights event. 

This giant 10m diameter installation is created using high resolution NASA images to create a floating scale model of the Earth, lit from within so that it glows from its current home on the Middle Dock, surrounded by the headquarters of international banking and finance corporations.

The artist hopes that viewed in this context, the installation will make visitors and the bankers working in surrounding buildings question how their money in savings and pensions is invested, and whether investments can be greener.

Aside from being a thought provoking piece, it is also mesmerising and surreally beautiful, so make sure you visit the free Winter Lights event before ends on Saturday 28 Jan.
Happy lunar new year! [Invited] To celebrate the Happy lunar new year!

And afterwards, make sure you head up to the @unionsocialoc bar for a cocktail - I loved the Moreish Fashion with bourbon, PX sherry, chestnuts and mandarin orange bitters!

CELEBRATE. So the fireworks are over, the champag CELEBRATE.

So the fireworks are over, the champagne is finished and the leftovers are all eaten. We are one week into 2023 and I have had some time to think about what my intent is for the year. 

In 2022 my brother had a life saving kidney transplant. Since the operation, he has had a Peanuts cartoon as his WhatsApp profile pic, where Charlie Brown and Snoopy are sitting on a pier talking. Charlie says “Some day, we all die Snoopy.” And Snoopy replies: “Yes - but every other day, we will live.”

Waking up in the morning is a gift, every day, and it is so easy to forget this. The last few years have been difficult for so many people and the coming year promises its own challenges. But every day that we don’t die is a day to live, to celebrate life in some small way.

So my intention in 2023 is to celebrate. Celebrate our achievements however small. Celebrate our friends and family. Celebrate small things. Celebrate life.

Did you make any resolutions or goals for 2023? I would love to hear them in the comments! Wishing you all the very best for 2023 🥂
