One egg, two egg – the EoMEoTE#10 Dr Seuss round-up

by Jeanne Horak on September 24, 2005 16 Comments in EoMEoTE

I’m the host,
I like toast.
I like eggs on eggs on toast.
Make them salty, make them sweet
Egg and toast’s just up my street.
You can make them in a pie;
With some bacon you can fry.
Bake ’em in a custard tart,
Make ’em novel – that’s the art.
Add some verse, add some rhyme
You’ll be applauded every time!

***

Alanna is the veggie chick
New dishes give her such a kick
Have and onion – no have two!
And here is what we’re gonna do:
Slice ’em, dice ’em, come and see –
Cook them one day, two days, three!
With toasted bread and scrambled egg
You won’t just ask for more – you’ll beg!

***

I am Steve,
I like to cook
My dishes do not come from books.
My ideas are big and teeny-weeny,
I use up lobster and zucchini.
I toss in eggs and make a tart –
And simple fare becomes an art!
***
Ruth‘s our girl up in Toronto
She’ll whip you up a breakfast pronto.
She likes her eggs a little green
It’s unlike anything you have seen
Don’t like green eggs without the ham?
Try something different from her pan –
You’ll be thrilled
By toast, egg-filled!
***
I am Dale.
I am male.
I eat everything without fail.
I will eat a dinner for two,
I will eat an Irish stew.
I will bite and I will chew,
I’ll even eat Nupur’s green goo!
***
Steph is coughing,
Steph is sneezing,
But she still cooks despite the wheezing.
She cuts her toast a little round
She fries up omelette by the pound.
Some toasts get stars, some do not –
But either way they still taste hot!
***
Julie‘s market trip will get
The contents of an omelette.
Stir in basil, stir in corn –
The making of some real food-porn!
If ciabatta drives your wild,
This one is for you, my child!
***
At Cook’s Cottage there’s a royal
Her eggs can’t just be left to boil.
Oh no:
Gotta blow!
Gotta seal!
Gotta peel!
Dipped in crumbs, dipped in butter!
“Thanks, Princess!” I hear you mutter.
***
I am Pim.
On a whim,
I give Michelin stars a spin.
I go all gooey
If you mention El Bulli,
I shout “hooray!
For the Fat Duck at Bray.
I ate greens, ham and egg –
Now guess where, I beg!
***
Andrew’s the name,
Wine’s the game,
But I’ll do eggs for this fair dame.
I will not bake them in a flan,
I will not eat them in Japan
I will not eat with humourless Stan.
But I will eat muffins
Devoid of puffins.
***
Alice has a craving –
Her calories she’s a-saving:
For one big toast fest
(They do say French is best!)
Although P’s sceptical
He wasn’t dyspeptical:
“A roaring success,
I have to confess!”
***
Shauna‘s one for whom I’m rootin’
She eats toast but never gluten.
Sent her on a camping trip
Where the roosters just let rip.
“Cock-a-doodle-dooooo!”
What’s a girl to do?
Poach eggs and toast bread
To soothe the sleepiest head.
***
Sarah loves her greens and toast,
Not much ham, but eggs – the most!
Picks stuff from her veggie patch-a,
Toasts a chunk of fresh focaccia.
Shaved cheese?
Yes please!
Pile ’em high, those eggs and veg,
And bite this eggy, toasty wedge.
***
Zoe‘s brave,
Zoe’s crazy,
Zoe says her dish is lazy.
To celebrate her taking part
She conjures up the slackest tart
She also braves a broody chicken
To get her custard finger-lickin’.
***
Lizzie likes green eggs and naan
She sizzles chillies in her pan
She really is a major fan,
She’ll make you flatbread when she can.
She makes a chilli omelette
(Do not feed this to your pet!)
Have one bite and you will get
Excited by her food I’ll bet!
***
Sam‘s her name,
Food’s her game,
Your tastebuds she will try to tame.
First you get a jar of honey,
Then you bag yourself a bunny
Oh – you do not think that’s funny?
Well grab a beer, grab some cheese,
Pass the sage and mustard please.
She grills it, serves it and with that,
Pulls the rabbit out the hat!
* * *
In Sydney I think Augustus cheats –
She says she’s cooking silverbeets.
She chops, she beats,
She grates, she heats,
There’s toast, there’s eggs
(Cut in a wedge).
But here’s the strangest thing I’ve seen –
Her “silver” beets have come out green!
* * *
I am Saffy
I go daffy
For eggs in toast – they’re not so naffy.
I will not have them with a scone,
I will not eat them in Gabon
I think eggs on toast’s a con,
I’ll have my eggies in not on.
* * *
I’m Johanna
My food’s a stunner
My guests will never do a runner.
I cook eggs and I cook toast.
I buy food from coast to coast.
The other day I thought: “I say,
I think I’ll make a canapé!”
The best egg ham rolls you have seen
Not boring yellow but vibrant green!
* * *
Now Lily-Lou Who
Was the littlest Who
She could not reach the pot of Who stew.
But with toaster and pan
Mom Moira had a plan –
Instead of roast joints
She made egg and toast points
And so young Lily-Lou
At her share – and Mom’s too!
* * *
Hi to Lady Amalthea –
She tempts us with quesadilla!
The mayo goes a little funny –
Too much oil made it runny!
We’ll just drizzle it instead
And add to that tomatoes red.
Bread so liberally topped with cheese
Can surely never fail to please.
* * *
Here is Anapestic Greg
Who likes his pasta with some egg.
Be gentle now – it’s his first time –
He just could not resist the rhyme
Of Dr Seuss – he’s a fan.
So he devised a cunning plan
To join us in our eggy quest
And now he’s featured he can rest.
* * *
Down in Perth
Spicey gives birth
To loads of food and loads of mirth.
His wine he fries
(It’s true – no lies!)
No dish is he afraid to try,
No novelty will pass him by
What’s up this month?  Holy moley!
It’s red bean paste in ravioli!
* * *
And so my dear friends, that is all –
I know that you have been enthralled.
But one announcement I must make:
I plan to take a little break.
And so this month (that is, September)
Stephanie will have to render
Her very own interpretation
Of this eggy celebration!
* * *
Yes, folks, Stephanie will be guest-hosting EoMEoTE#11 – make sure you head on over to her place and see what challenges she has in store for you!  See you there…

More deliciousness for you!

    You know, this kind of thing is just too much! How are we all expected to keep up? It takes me two days to do a Paper Chef roundup writing in the most basic plain prose! I canna ken how you do this – unless you have a multiple personality disorder and one of them is Dr Suess?
    REALLY wonderful roundup. I loved it. Just make sure you don’t use up so much energy you stop posting. You are one of me perennial stops on the blog roundabout and one of the few I read everything you write. I truly appreciate the effort.

    *blush* – thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Always nice to have you participating!
    Hi Kalyn
    Glad you enjoyed it. And please do join us next time! I think it’s great that there’s so much support for the only ovo-literary event in the blogosphere 😉
    Hi Lady Amalthea
    Aww, thanks! Great post, btw. And thanks for being such a faithful supporter!
    Hi Johanna
    Nooooo, please feel free to step in any time!! And part of the reason it took me so long to finish was that the computer is currently in the lounge and I have to try and ignore the news/sports channel/whatever else my father & husband are watching and concentrate on rhymes! Not recommended. 😉
    Hi Owen
    *double blush* Thanks you thank you! You do have a point though – the round-ups sap my energy to the point that I hardly post anythign else. But I have guest-hosts for September and October, so maybe I will actualyl get back to blogging somethign other than eggs!! Also off to the USA for 2 weeks next month, so will have to try my hand at blogging on the move. Thanks for your lovely compliments – it’s stuff like this that I keeps me blogging 🙂
    Hi Moira
    Wouldn’t dream of not including you, you eggy stalwart! Glad you enjoyed the round-up – I had a ball writing it. I have a hint of what Stephanie has in store, and believe me, it’s a goodie!

    That’s so nice!!! Hey – we could have done a mutltinational book-signing! 😉 But unfortunately it’s going to be a case of “so near and yet so far” – I’ll be spending 3 nights in LA and 2 in San Diego before heading inland to Vegas, the Grand Canyon & ultimately, Mexico for a wedding. Any thoughts on eating (on a budget!!) in LA or SD??

🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London! Every 🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London!

Everywhere you look, these long-legged floral supermodels are adding a splash of colour to parks and gardens and I just can’t get enough of them! It’s easy to see how they inspired a collective buying frenzy in 17th Century Holland, called “tulip fever”, but today there are less dramatic ways to enjoy them. Here are a couple of suggestions of where to see them at their best:

🌷 The ultimate tulipalooza is the annual opening of Keukenhof gardens outside Amsterdam where 7 million (!) bulbs burst into life each Spring. This year the gardens are open 24 March-15 May (click on the link in my bio for FAQs and my top tips for visitors)

🌷In London, Kew Gardens always has spectacular displays of tulips; but you can also see excellent and free tulips in most of the Royal Parks such as Regents Park. 

🌷The Hampton Court Palace tulip festival is on until 2 May and the Hever  Castle’s Tulip Celebrations until 24 April - both within easy reach of London.

🌷The Morges Fete de la Tulipe in Switzerland takes place every year against the spectacular backdrop of Lake Geneva - it is on until 8 May this year.

I spotted these spectacular red frilly parrot tulips beside St Paul’s Cathedral yesterday 🌹 Where is the best display of tulips that you have ever seen?
MASALCHI BY ATUL KOCHHAR - pan-Indian street food MASALCHI BY ATUL KOCHHAR - pan-Indian street food restaurant in Wembley

[Invited] If you thought Brick Lane and chicken tikka masala or madras were all there is to know about the food of the Indian subcontinent, think again! In the shadow of the Wembley arch,  @chefatulkochhar has opened his first casual dining restaurant,  showcasing the rustic, spicy, diverse street foods of India. 

Highlights when I visited included:
1. Carrot halwa
2. Papdi chaat
3. Chicken 65
4. Tandoori broccoli
5. Smoky aubergine chokha

🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸 T 🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸

There is no season in London that I love more than cherry blossom season! From March through to April, trees in various parks and gardens in London put on an amazing display of delicate pink and white blossoms - and everything in the city seems a little more magical. This particular tree near St Pauls must be among London’s most photographed, and it’s not hard to see why 💕

Did you know that...

🌸cherry blossoms are Japan’s national flower and are known as Sakura 

🌸In 1910, Japan sent the USA some cherry trees as a goodwill gesture… and the Dept of Agriculture inspectors nearly caused an international incident by burning them as they were carrying insects and diseases! But in 1915 Japan sent more cherry trees that survived the inspectors, and these marked the start of cherry trees in the USA.

🌸 Peak blossom season is usually only two to three weeks in March/April but is hard to predict as the weather and the subspecies of tree influence the timing.

🌸The cherry blossom capital of the  world is Macon, Georgia with 300,000 - 350,000 Yoshino cherry blossom trees.

🌸 There are over 200 different varieties of cherry blossom and some are purely ornamental (meaning they produce no cherries)

Where is your favourite place to see cherry blossoms in London or around the world? Let me know in the comments and happy blossom hunting! 🌸🍒🌸

*NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, *NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, capers and dill. Pretty in pink 💕

[AD] Blood oranges are a small obsession of mine - from blood orange posset to blood orange and halloumi salad to blood orange & Cointreau upside down cake, I am always looking for new ways to make the most of their short season. Barbecuing them with salmon, capers and dill is a perfect match in terms of flavour as well as colour (or you can oven bake the salmon if it's not barbecue weather where you are!)

When @grahambeckuk asked me to suggest some recipes to match their wonderful Graham Beck Brut Rosé NV sparkling wine from South Africa, this was a pairing made in heaven, and wonderfully colour co-ordinated with their silver-pink bubbly. Get the full recipe and find out more about Graham Beck's sparkling wines, made using the same methods as Champagne, on my blog - link in my bio above. 

What do you like to do with blood oranges? I'd love to hear in the comments!

Would you believe me if I told you this is NOT a p Would you believe me if I told you this is NOT a picture of a Moorish palace, a castle or a cathedral? And that you can get to it from central London in under an hour?

This is Crossness Pumping Station @crossnesset , a Grade I listed heritage site and one of London's last remaining magnificent Victorian sewage (!) pumping stations in Abbey Wood near Rainham. 

Did you know that...

💩 You can visit the building on monthly open days - the next one is Sun 20 Feb. Book at www.crossness.org.uk

💩  It was only in 1856, after 3 major cholera outbreaks in 30 years and the Big Stink when the stench of London's sewage finally reached Parliament, that construction of an intercepting sewer system for the city was approved.  The system (parts of which are still in use today) was designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette, Chief Engineer of London's Board of Metropolitan Works at the time.

💩  At Crossness, all London's sewage from south of the river was was raised by 9-12 metres to large reservoirs so that gravity would cause it to flow further east and into the Thames estuary. (Yes, until the 1880s, raw sewage was simply pumped into the Thames!)

💩 The incoming liquid was raised by the four enormous steam driven pumps, built to Joseph Bazalgette's design. The pumps were named Victoria, Prince Consort, Albert Edward, and Alexandra. They are thought to be the largest remaining rotative beam engines in the world, with 52-ton flywheels and 47-ton beams. 

💩 The pumping station was decommissioned and abandoned in the 1950s but declared a listed building in 1970.  Although all 4 beam engines remain in place, they were so damaged that today (thanks to the efforts of the Crossness Engines Trust) only Prince Consort has been restored to working condition and can be seen in action on open days.

💩 The exuberant and colourful wrought ironwork inside is the amazing work of architect Charles Henry Driver. My favourite detail is the fact that the pillars in the central atrium are topped with stylised figs and senna pods... two of nature's greatest natural laxatives 🤣
*NEW RECIPE* Roasted Brussels sprouts with feta ch *NEW RECIPE* Roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts

Ever noticed how you are affected by colours? 🌈

Maybe some colours make you agitated and some make you relaxed. Or maybe you find yourself inexplicably attracted to a particular colour (oh, hi teal and aqua!💙). On the basis that all colours have a wavelength, and that those outside the visible spectrum can affect us, it makes sense that the colours we see can affect our mood or even our physiology. Did you know for instance that exposure to red light can increase your blood pressure and heart rate? Are there any colours that you find yourself particularly attracted to or affected by?

The pretty colours of these roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts will be the first things that attract you to this dish - but it is the delicious combination of flavours and textures that will keep you coming back for more!

The recipe (and more about how colour affects us mentally and physically) is now live on my blog - click the live link in my profile and remember to like and bookmark this post to see more Cooksister in your Instagram feed ❤️
Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way of regarding something.

Perspective is the one thing that the Covid-19 pandemic has given us plenty of. It has certainly made us re-evaluate what is truly important, and also what we did and didn't enjoy about our lives  before the pandemic and its associated lockdowns. It made me appreciate how much happiness my house, my job, my friends, my own company and my running bring to my life (and how fortunate I am to have all these things). But it also brought home how much I enjoy and miss travel, the theatre, and the luxury of reataurant visits at the drop of a hat. I don't think words can describe my joy at sipping the first coffee purchased from a coffee shop in summer 2020 as lockdown eased. It's the little things...

One of the things I have enjoyed and will not miss as the world creeps back to normality is the absence of crowds in what is usually a crowded city. On the occasions that I have been in central London since the start of the pandemic, streets have been blissfully empty and it has felt as if I were discovering my city anew. This glorious perspective (hah!) of St Paul's Cathedral normally requires a long wait while a queue of tourists and "influencers" ahead of you pose for photos - but on this glorious day last Spring it was almost deserted. I will miss that...

Is there anything you will miss as Covid-19 restrictions start to be lifted?
