Toad in the hole for us too this evening - a recipe I found on one of those Waitrose recipe cards though that has apples and sage in it as well. Very yummy and makes a nice change to "normal" Toad.

Guess I don't know toad in the hole by the same name in US. But I do like frog legs, lol. Was just a plate of nachos in the microwave for little 'ol me tonigh. feh.

by polgara 4th September 2011, 7:36 am

Sausages in batter pud Mr S. I add onions to mine, might try the apple bit at sometime.

Okay i've just had to google toad in the hole recipes to see what you all mean by that.
Here a toad in the hole is a piece of bread, with a hole cut out and an egg cracked into the midde, cooked on the BBQ Laughing

Obviously very different to your toad in the hole

Today it was Father's Day here so we had a big BBQ outside with lots of different salads, including the best pasta salad i've made in ages. Yet i just threw stuff in and it will probably never be the same again damn it.

by Wilhelm Von Rhomboid 4th September 2011, 2:27 pm

had the other three ducks today, roasted with a blackberry /mushroom/port reduction a la Raymond Blanc. Yumlicious it was.

My husband's family call the egg-in-the-middle-of bread recipe 'sunny side up' summer

by AngelinaJellyBeana 4th September 2011, 7:17 pm

Stuffed marrow (overgrown home grown courgette) stuffed with onion & garlic (both home grown) lentils, mushrooms, rice with home grown new potatoes and green beans followed by apple & raspberry crumble - apples and raspberries picked today at the allotment

Enough marrow left over to freeze for another 2 meals

That would be confusing if they ever went to the States.

Yes, not sure why they called it that...

Also not sure what would happen if any of our children had gone into a cafe and tried to order Cast of Thousands, as this is unique and made by no-one else. Mr D used to toast bread, then cut out the walls of a fort with crenellations on top, and slots down the side so it would fit together. Each child would have a small toast fort constructed which Mr D would then fill up with baked beans. I think the beans are the cast of thousands!!!

Dandelion that sounds so cute. Bet the kids absolutely loved that.

Tonight here it will be nanna's quiche. I say that as it's my mum's nanna's recipe. DD also calls it that after i tried to pass off zucchini slice as quiche one day (didn't work)

I'm making 4 large ones as i hv a busy week and it's easy to throw some salad together if need be.

by Wilhelm Von Rhomboid 5th September 2011, 7:14 am

Dandelion - what patience! What a lot of toast! What a top father!.
I am not going to mention that to my children or they will want that every time we have beans on toast.

by MrsC 5th September 2011, 10:55 am

D - that's fantastic! Billy - I bet you'll be making that soon enough for your three!

by Wilhelm Von Rhomboid 5th September 2011, 4:06 pm

Ginormous pate de foie gras in the bain marie, 6 duck breasts in the curing chamber with cardamom and star anise, massive pot of duck stock bubbling away and duck risotto on the menu for this evening to use up the rest.
