Lately, my life has been consisting of little, defined pockets of time. These pockets are filled with either, (a) playing with and or supervising a nine month old or, (b) doing decidedly non-baby things while said nine month old is napping. Esther likes to play piano. She stands up, bends at the waist and pounds on her toy piano keys while kicking and tapping her right leg. It's all very extreme. We call her Jerry Lee Lewis. After a few hours of that, she sleeps and that's when I try to do very adultish things such as catch up on the Sunday New York Times, fold laundry or, most importantly, make myself something to eat. Recently during one of Essie's naps I decided to do something crazy. I wanted a grilled cheese, but I also wanted an egg. Blammo, the grilled cheese egg in a hole was born. No recipe needed, the steps are below. Warm, butter-toasted bread filled with melted cheddar and a fried egg. Sprinkle it with cracked black pepper and good salt. Cut it in half to let that golden yolk run free. Pick it up, dunk it in yolk, bite and repeat. That's it. It's pretty delicious. Not the most adult-like thing I've ever made but delicious nonetheless.
On another note, Bogart Loves will be at the Kingfield / Fulton Winter Market next Saturday, March 23rd at Bachman's. Stop by to say "hi" and grab a doughnut or a salted caramel brownie. Find more information here.

| Add a generous hunk of butter to your hot cast iron pan (or non-stick), allow butter to get toasted then add your cheese-filled bread slices. |
 |
| Allow first side to toast, flip, cut hole in bread, remove center and add egg. Season egg with sea salt and black pepper while you munch on the circular, mini-grilled cheese innards. |
 |
| Flip again and cook until egg whites are firm and yolk is still soft and runny. (Or cook until egg is to YOUR liking). A bit more S&P on top. |
 |
| You know the rest. |
