For a supposedly creative person, i am remarkably uncreative when it comes to cooking.  I think it must be (and i say this with the greatest respect) all that muddled up English, Welsh, Irish and other muckymuck blood in me.

It’s one thing for Sarah to suffer with my cooking (trust me, she does), but Jack deserves better, so I’ve been trying to be a little more creative.  Most of these efforts lead to catastrophically disastrous results that we all simply agree never to talk about again, but sometimes i pull off something decent.  This morning i decided to try making Toad in a Hole for jack.  Now, i had never heard of this egg and toast thing before our trip to Australia (Sarah had), but i had one at a really nice little bistro in Cairn and put in the back of my head as something fun and easy to make for my future experiments.  I’ve made it a few times with some success, but today i decided to try some sort of variant with scrambled eggs. (I now see that Toad in a Hole is actually something else, and what i made was actually called Egg in the Basket.  Learn something everyday

While looking for a round cookie cutter or a glass i found a heart shaped cookie cutter, instantly had an idea, and acted on it.  It didn’t come out too bad, actually not a bad idea for Valentines Day which is coming up, but it is kind of a silly dish to make for a little boy, as Jack plainly felt.

Now to get to work on Friday’s comic.  There are a few things i have to get set up to do it properly so i better get on it.
