Cook the Book: 'Rustic Fruit Desserts'
Tarte tatin! And, also, my friend Elisabeth's rhubarb cake.
Goofy kitchen appliances (please don't buy that for me!)
Not an appliance, but last year my mom got me this plastic onion-shaped container that's intended to store a cut onion. I got rid of mine, but she dutifully uses hers. I just do not understand it.
I also received, as farewell presents from the worst job I've ever had, an assortment of gadgets from the Bodum store that included a mini-chopper supposedly for herbs and garlic, a milk frother that I did try to use for hot chocolate but that was too spazzy, a measuring cup that broke instantly, and more! The best part of the gift was the tote bag it all came in. And its commemoration of my last day at that job.

Chinese broccoli!
Or maybe spinach, delivered via various types of Middle Eastern spinach pie.

Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
Egg in the hole! My dad made it in some way that involved sautéing the bread with chopped onions. I wouldn't eat fried eggs as a kid, but the little oniony circle of bread that was left over was a special treat.

Chinese Food, Christmas Day, and the Jews: Where Can We Go for Old-School Chinese?
Huh. Soup dumplings and Lion’s Head is exactly what we ordered (plus pickled cabbage, scallion pancakes, turnip cakes, fried pork dumplings, fried rice cake with “a little bit of everything” . . . and a big plate of Chinese broccoli, to keep us alive).
My team’s challenge this Christmas was not how to find good Cantonese or Chinese-American food, but how to find any restaurant that didn’t have at least a half-hour wait (this was around 6 pm). In the end we went to Goodies, because at least there was room to stand comfortably until a table opened up—unlike at Noodletown, where the vestibule was jam-packed. No doubt this was because of your post.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
Crisp, usually, but it depends on what I'm eating it with—e.g., if you have a crisp waffle, sometimes you want your bacon chewy, for contrast.
What will you have on Christmas Morning?
The only definite item on the menu is hot chocolate, which my parents used to make the night before and place in a Thermos next to the tree. It kept my brother and me busy while our parents got to sleep a few minutes longer.
Besides that, I might have a slice of panettone and an Asian pear.
Cook the Book: 'The Martha Stewart Living Cookbook: The Original Classics'
I've made her savory biscotti from the Hors d'Oeuvres Handbook, as well as the Sweet and Salty Cake.
Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
A Hole in One!!!! My grandfather used to make these for me when I was a very little girl, visiting him in Lancaster, PA. He was not a golfer. He was first-generation American of Swedish descent, who had grown up in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Some great names here - I love Egyptian Eyes especially! But wow: over 200 comments, and apparently no one else calls them "top hats". (And yes, I always thought my mother invented them, too. :) )
Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
My hubby made these for me for me all the time when we were in college - we call them Eggs in a Basket.

@Ed Levine - My mom called them "Egyptian eggs" as well. I think me, you and Embackus's friend were the only one. It seems to be the least known name for them.

Eggy in a basket, from V for Vendetta.

Everyone knows it's called a "bunny egg". My grandmother invented it.
Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
Growing up Dad called it a Bulls Eye (from Rhode Island). We always loved when Dad had to make breakfast! He cut the hole with a shot glass so the hole was just big enough for the yolk part and the rest of the egg ran over the bread so you had to flip it and cook that side too! Just don't over cook it and it won't be dry. The hardest part was buttering both sides of the bread. I get around that now by using a brush and softened butter.

My mom always called this "egg in a hat" - I guess when you put the cut-out circle back on top of the hole in the toast, without pushing it all the way in, it looks a little like a hat...
Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
My mama has been making this as long as I can remember. It's called the One Eyed Sailor Egg in our house...
Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
Never saw them till I married my ex when he used to fix them for our kids. He called them Toad in the Hole.
Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
Cut two holes in the bread and drop in two eggs and call it " here's looking at you" You could even put at the bottom a piece of bacon for the mouth- curve it upwards at the ends to make it smile.
That's presentation! Dave

Joe Style eggs is what I remember also. [ r.e. my prievious comment ]
Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
Mom and Gandma called it TOAD-IN-A-HOLE, must be the correct name, Mom and Grandma 'God rest their Souls' were never wrong!
Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
Egg-in-a-Hat! But my husband has never heard of it! I'll have to make it for breakfast tomorrow! :)
Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
Eggs in a Frame...came from a Betty Crocker cookbook I had when I was a little girl, a long, long time ago!!! That and "Cheese Dreams", which was english muffins, slice of tomato, bacon, and (ugh) velveeta cheese under a broiler...my 2 favorite meals!!!

My husband and I call them Moonstruck eggs, but my 100 year old grandmother calls them "Moon Over Miami"
Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
gueralinda....sorry, Toad in the Hole is a banger/sausage in Yorkshire pudding batter. I'm English, live in England and eat Toad in the Hole at least twice per month. Bubble & Squeak is another favorite of mine....but that's off topic.
Cheers!

Toad in the Hole. Toad in the Hole. Toad in the Hole. Anything else is just wrong! Actually, in the interest of sociology, we should all be putting the source of our name here as well, for example, my Dad called them toad in the hole. He grew up in the tri-cities, WA, and is of scotch-english background.
Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
My Mom always called this (my favorite breakfast EVER!) eggy-in-a-hole, but for some reason by the time I was in college I picked up the name "Gaslight Special" from a roommate.
Weird.
Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
My Dad called them Boarding House eggs...so I do too.
They sound good. It's been awhile. Maybe this weekend.
