    I missed everything. Onam, Krishna Jayanti, or even my Blog Anniversary! Why? Because it has been three months since I have walked into the kitchen and cooked.

    My husband has left for work and that could be for two long years. Since the time I remember, I have cooked only for him. Before my wedding, I didn't know how to even make a perfect tea or an omelette. We had eight months of courtship period before our wedding. And that's when I decided to learn cooking. I had a blog back then to pen down my experiments. And no, I'm never going to share it with you! 🙂 Two years and seven months into our wedding, I have attempted many recipes and he used to always savour each and every bite, every single time. So, I just couldn't bring myself to enter into a whole new kitchen (I'm staying in a rented flat with a roommate), and cook for anyone but myself. We have had our ups and downs and today, right at this moment when I am struggling to type a few words, I am missing him. A lot.

    I woke up today determined to COOK! This was only because I had a chat with a wonderful lady, a fabulous cook and mother of one of my favorite blogger. She made sure that I cook and eat. So, this one is for you, Pramila Aunty.

    Well you can imagine, all I had was eggs and bread in my pantry. And I got this simple yet D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S recipe from Laura in the Kitchen.

    Egg in a Basket1

    The first bread in the pic is fried. And the second one has the yellow running, just how I like.

    Ingredients:

    Two slices of bread, two eggs, two cubes of butter, salt and pepper.

    Method:

    1. Cut a circle in the middle of a piece of bread.
    2. If you don't have a round cookie cutter, the top of a glass will work.
    3. Heat a skillet and add a cube of butter.
    4. Place the bread in the pan.
    5. Crack an egg in the hole.
    6. When the egg is fairly well set, add salt and pepper as desired.Egg in a Basket2
    7. Turn the bread and egg over to cook the other side, being careful not to break the yolk.
    8. Also toast the holes from the bread. You can use them for dipping in the yolk, if you like them running.

    See y'all! Soon, I promise!
