Announcing the 5th EotmEoTE

I feel proud and honoured to announce that the next person to host EoMEoTE (aka End-of-Month-Egg-on-Toast-Extravaganza) will be .... MOI! I have recently had the immense pleasure to meet Jeanne, the Cook Sister! and, with Anthony of Spiceblog, co-founder of this great initiative, in person and bluntly asked her if they would consider having the event hosted by an outsider. And, as luck would have it, both agreed.
We've seen four editions so far, with an ever-growing participant list. I do hope that this time will be no eggseption, with people from near and far posting an entry towards the end of the month, emailing me or leaving a comment here with their URL or, if you don't have a blog, email the whole write-up for me to publish.
So get those eggs out of your baskets and start cooking! The beauty of the game is that you do not need to get all scrambled up over finding a fancy-schmancy recipe, as long as you've got some eggs and some toasted bread, you're in business! With Easter just round the corner there are no eggscuses for not participating! I am committed to publishing the round-up no later than the first weekend in April.
Last, but not least, I am happy to say that I can finally shed some light on that age-old dilemma:
A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is smoking a cigarette with a satisfied smile on its face. The egg is frowning and looking very frustrated. The egg mutters, to no one in particular, "Well, I guess we answered THAT question!"

Now I've packed an extra set of hankies for it, and it likes its cocoa just a little bit sweet, and make sure it doesn't forget to dry its hair before it goes outside last time it nearly caught its death of cold I can tell you and if it gives you any trouble you've got my number.

Oh, and remember, keep it out of the light and *no feeding it after midnight*, no matter how much it begs.

To think, just the other day it was a little embryonic idea in Cooksister & Spiceblog's imagination and today it's a whole extravaganza, off into the big wide world. *Sigh*, they grow up so fast...

Hi Johanna, you've enlightened me with your answer to the age-old dilemma. It really cracked me up, too. :) I can't wait for EoMEoTE #5.

OK - as I am undistracted by family (they are off in London without me) I WILL get an entry in this time. I will, I will, I will!

I stumbled across your blog while I was doing some online research.
How refreshing to hear about a cooking competition where participants are actually not encouraged to be pretentious but rather to produce good, down-home type meals!
