This morning, I’m having a kid’s breakfast. I’m hungry cause instead of eating dinner last night, I got drunk…Tea drunk that is. With giggles and all the fun that comes with it.

So I’m making “oeuf dans le trou”. (Egg in a hole???) Don’t know if other people have that dish in the world, but I’m guessing yes cause I found this pic:

https://jillcastle.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/img_5046.jpg

That’s exactly how I do mine, with a thick whole grain slice of bread and a big omega-3 egg.

When we were kids, It was a fiesta when my mom cooked them…

I dip the little bred circle from the hole in my egg yolk. So much yum, so much fun!

And what best tea to pair with it than by beloved Ailaoshan Black?

The sweet salted caramel notes chase away the eggy aftertaste in my mount, it’s almost like having eggs with maple syrup.

Then on it’s own it’s like having a little dessert. Malt with dark chocolate, sweet dried fruits…
I’ve written it all in previous notes.

This tea hugs me in the morning, and I can only hug back :-)

Yes eggs in a hole! I had so much fun with the tea and giggles last night and there was some dinner skipping here as well. I was HUNGRY and I had avocado toast with a few pecan halves and some pu-er concoction and steeping a cup of this awesome tea right now.

Nommmmy!

ohfancythat 11 years ago

My mom always made egg in a hole for us as kids, to this day no one makes them quite the same! I try to avoid wheat these days but once in awhile I just can’t resist an ‘egg in the hole’ as a treat. My favorite part was always eating the little square of bread fried up in butter beside the egg in a hole!

Bonnie 11 years ago

Enjoy! More tea after Church!

MzPriss 11 years ago

@whatshesaid – I saw a recipe the other day for an egg in the hole without bread! They used a rings of bell pepper and cooked the egg inside – let me see if I can find it and I will link you. Not the same of course but it sounded good to me

mj 11 years ago

I’m very jealous of your breakfast :-). I only have enough leaf for one more cup of this one so I must hoard it until I place a WP order!

Cheri 11 years ago

Now that’s what I’m craving for breakfast and there are neither eggs nor bread in the house. (I should go grocery shopping.)

Terri HarpLady 11 years ago

We always called it egg in a basket. I loved it, my kids loved it. I miss it, & yes, there are many gluten free variations that are fun, but of course, never the same…sigh…it’s that little circle of toast!

ohfancythat 11 years ago

I agree Terri, It’s all about the little tiny circle (or in my case, usually a square) of toast from the “hole”!

MzPriss, I think I’ve had that before, tasty but definitely no buttery bread replacement :)

Terri HarpLady 11 years ago

I always served it with extra pan toasted triangles too :)

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Haha! I’ m overwhelmed with you answers you guys, thought it was local dish or something, this is great! And yes, the little tiny grilled circle IS the best :-)

MzPriss, avocado toast is like a guilty pleasure…without the guilt! I also love toast and coconut butter with crunchy chia seeds on top. Weird but so good! And that pu’erh concoction of yours well…for some strange reason, I can clearly envision what you are having ;-)

Terri HarpLady 11 years ago

Inspired by this post, I made a savory almond flour pancake, topped it with sauteed greens & eggs, & made 3 cute little circle pancakes to represent the circle toast. :)

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Aww, terri this sounds so great and yummy! How cute, little mini round pancake :-)

MzPriss 11 years ago

@TeaFairy – for some strange reason I bet you can even taste it :)

@Terri – that sounds awesome

MzPriss 11 years ago

At my sweet little co-op market, they have the best thing now!! I just freshly ground my own CHOCOLATE ALMOND BUTTER!!! Chunks of almonds and chocky chips so so good!

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Hehehe, as a matter of fact… I can!!!

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Oh, I make my own peanut and almond butter. Never thought of adding chocolate to the almonds. Oh, that would turn like a some kind of crunchy Nutella, without the excessive load of sugar!!! Will try it this week for sure, thanks!

MzPriss 11 years ago

It is kind of like that with a higher nut to chocolate ratio. Very very good!

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

MzPriss, then this will be dessert today, drizzled with honey on ripe bananas!

MzPriss 11 years ago

OH! I have a banana! I’m going to warm it up a little so it will drizzle and do the same

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Ok, let me know how it tastes like, I’ll have mine later…Lol, My review threads always end up talking about eating, I’m such a foodie!!

MzPriss 11 years ago

I am too. I’m cooking right now – just made some cauliflower rice sald (not rice – just cauliflower buzzed in the cusisinart) and stir frying veggies for some lentil curry

MzPriss 11 years ago

salad not said

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Hey, we do seem to have similar culinary tastes! Love the versatility of cauliflower so much, I make some sick fake mash potatoes with nutritional yeast…I’ve served that to people who actually like it more now than real mashed potatoes!!

MzPriss 11 years ago

I make those too. And have you made the pizza crust with it yet?

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Noooo! Ok, will you pm me recipe when you have a chance? Pleeeeazzzze?

MzPriss 11 years ago

I totally will. I’ll go find it now and send it to you PM

MzPriss 11 years ago

OK – the banana deal: I used my cast iron skillet and wee bit of butter and sliced my banana length-wise and did a little stove-top grill of the banana until caramelized and brown in spots. Warmed the chocky-almond butter for 15 seconds and then drizzled over the banana. Yes – you want it.

Lariel of Lórien 11 years ago

I like to freeze my bananas and then put them in the blender.

Whispering Pines Tea Company 11 years ago

Caramelized bananas with chocolate syrup are the most simple and decadent dessert on the planet. Just sayin’. <3

Bonnie 11 years ago

I have allergies to some foods so I collect recipes on Pinterest. Anyone else? Bet Terri does!

MzPriss 11 years ago

*Lariel – easy banana ice cream!

@ Bonnie – I bet Terri does too. I don’t Pinterest – I just bookmark everything. Although I lost a lot of things when the harddrive on my macbook fried a little while back

@Brenden – I’m way picky about chocolate syrup though. I haven’t found one I love that doesn’t have some kind of crap in it. Do you know of one?

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Yes I do!!! Just melt 80% dark chocolate yourself, the best!!!!

MzPriss 11 years ago

You don’t have to add anything to it to make it stay syrupy? Doesn’t it harden on the food – or LOL do you just eat it up before that happens?

Whispering Pines Tea Company 11 years ago

Was about to say the same thing, Fairy-awesome-one!

I have a tiny skillet that I use for melting chocolate :) haha

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Haha! Chocolate awesomeness!! No I add NOTHING!!! Unless you serve it on something frozen, it’s ok. And as you mentioned, i just eat it too fast for it to have time to cool down ;-)

MzPriss 11 years ago

Well it just so happens that I have some 80% chocolate :D

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Well well, how bout that? Sounds like we are having the same dessert tonight ;-)

Oh and Brenden, I too own a tiny weeny little skillet for my chocolate. I don’t put anything else in it cause I don’t want ANY taste transfer. It’s so darn cute:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/laafeevertee/14536236312/in/photostream/

MzPriss 11 years ago

it IS cute!

apt 11 years ago

i had microwaved hot dogs for breakfast

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Hahaha! It’s all good apt, we are health freaks, we’re the scary ones ;-)
(I also did have my days of microwave mornings once upon a time, but I was more of a pizza gal!)

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Ooh ya, me like the petite size :-) that would be perrrrfect!
But then again, I’m a pots and pans fanatic…If I had a gigantic kitchen, I’d probably own every kitchen gadgets and appliances on the market!

Lariel of Lórien 11 years ago

A chocolate skillet? How does that work?

Whispering Pines Tea Company 11 years ago

:-) I need to get it…Since I’ve condensed my kitchen I realized I’m sort of missing some vital items. I’ve got two cast iron pans, a stainless steel crockpot, and a tiny skillet. I’m a huge fan of Frieling, too, which helps me trust that it’ll be a good investment :)

MzPriss 11 years ago

I’m sorry to tell y’all what I am eating right now

mj 11 years ago

TheTeaFairy your chocolate skillet is adorable!

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

@WP: Yep, that’s the kind of pan you’ll have for a long time:-) better pay a little more once than keep buying every two years…

@Lariel, it’s not really a chocolate pan, it’s just very tiny and I like to melt my chocolate in it cause I can do just a little bit at a time :-)

@MzPriss: Well Bon Appétit then ma’am!!

MzPriss 11 years ago

fig & mascarpone gelato from this italian guy’s shop where he hand makes it

MzPriss 11 years ago

@TeaFairy – if it would get there from here I would totally send you some so we could share :)

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

I was hoping it wouldn’t come to that but now I have to hate you….
;-)

Terri HarpLady 11 years ago

This post just keeps getting better & better :)
I want fried bananas, drizzled lightly with maple & maybe some coconut milk on top,& toasted coconut flakes.Yeah…I want that.
For dinner I’m having brats (nitrate & other BS free), a cultured dill from last summer, homegrown asparagus & cukes, & sweet potato french fries fries.
Tomorrow I’m planning to make a batch of cauliflower tabouli. I haven’t had tabouli for a long time & cauliflower makes a pretty good sub for bulgur too. I have all the other ingredients in my garden: parsley, mint, cukes, sungold cherry tomatoes, onions, garlic.
Foodie? Damn right!

MzPriss 11 years ago

Yeah you might have to. A friend just brought it over

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Ok, now I can’t hate you no more ;-) I’m going to your house, bye cats, bye dog…

MzPriss 11 years ago

it’s amazing

MzPriss 11 years ago

You can bring them. Although my dogs don’t understand cats

MzPriss 11 years ago

Oh man Terri that dinner sounds awesome.

Whispering Pines Tea Company 11 years ago

My dog thinks all cats are puppies, and so he acts like a daddy dog and goes to snuggle them and keep them warm, but they just smack him in the face and he gets confused…lol

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

It’s ok…the intention counts, I’ll always remember you offered to share with me:-) enjoy for the both of us!!

Terri, if I was living near you, I’d find an excuse every day to drop by around dinner time, and just pretend I need something. And then you would say, «hey fairy, I was just about to have the most fabulous dinner and dessert, would you like to join? » ;-)

MzPriss 11 years ago

I wish to have that tabouli please ma’am

MzPriss 11 years ago

You know you’d get great tea @ Terri’s too

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

I love cats and dogs stories, your dog sounds adorable!! …brenden this is how “friendly” things are here :-)

I am overcome by the cuteness

mj 11 years ago

That dog is GORGEOUS!

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

That’s Dexter, pretending he doesn’t want to make a snack out of Happy…

MzPriss 11 years ago

They’re snuggled!

Terri HarpLady 11 years ago

I love those pics! I used to have a great dane (Ellie Mae), & when my cat Opal had a litter of 5 kittens, they were HER kittens. She mothered them all the time, they were her babies.

Terri HarpLady 11 years ago

If my kids ever move out, I seriously want to do the bed & breakfast thing, so you can all come visit me :)

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Awww for the dog, yay for the B&B. can I reserve now????

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Prana is just gorgious. Sigh. i want another dog…there’s nothing like puppy love :-)

Terri HarpLady 11 years ago

TF, it might still be a year or 2, but of course! :)

Whispering Pines Tea Company 11 years ago

Dexter and Happy are totally adorbs too! :)

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Terri, i can wait, i’ll be totally worth it ;-)

Thanks Brenden, they are my babies :-)

Bonnie 11 years ago

You guys have spiked your tea, I’m positive. Have you seen Brendens kombucha (or kumbaya whatever)…It’s fermenting into hippie wine (b4 you were born). (Sorry Brenden, it looks like fruity sangria with soggy granola on top. Most of them do not just yours). Need a party somewhere. A cruise! (Keep saying that)

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Haha! bonnie I did look at breden’s kombucha, my aunt use to make her own, that’s how I know it…he almost convinced me to try and make my own, lol!

A party with you bonnie? Anytime, let’s have one now, you know how much I’ve missed you :-)

Lariel of Lórien 11 years ago

What is this cukes of which you speak? And also, you guys are making me want to garden.

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Lol, we do sound like weirdos don’t we? Lariel, kombucha is fermented tea. It looks gross and slimy but it tastes pretty good and has a lot of health virtues. Brenden had a link on how to make your own on WP website but I can’t find it anymore…

Lariel of Lórien 11 years ago

I know what kombucha is, I’ve had it a few times. I was wondering what ‘cukes’ are slang for. That’s not really a word we use in California.

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Oh sorry, I didn’t notice “cukes” and this thread is wayyy tooo long for me to trace it now!

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Ah, cucumbers!

Whispering Pines Tea Company 11 years ago

www.whisperingpinestea.com/kombucha and yes it’s hippy wine ;)

Whispering Pines Tea Company 11 years ago

Not to mention, you can make kombucha wine with champagne yeast ;)

Terri HarpLady 11 years ago

Cukes = cucumbers
I grow a lot of them, then I put them into a salt brine for 2 – 4 weeks to make old fashion dill pickles wth lots of garlic & dill.

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Ok, bookmarked this time! I can now imagine all kinds of drinks and cocktails with champagne Kumbucha ;-)

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

And of course there will be some on the table when I go visit St-Louis and stop at Terri’s B&B!!

Terri HarpLady 11 years ago

hell yeah! We’re still eating them from last summer, & I’ve started making the new ones, so there will always be more! Along with home made cultured (and very much alive!) sauerkraut, kimchi, dilly beans, & whatever else I add to my bubbling laboratory :)

Whispering Pines Tea Company 11 years ago

Mmm I bookmarked that one. Sounds yummy :)

Lariel of Lórien 11 years ago

Cukes sounds like an odd word, though I’ve only liked cucumbers if they’re in tahini sauce.

Terri HarpLady 11 years ago

Mmmmm, tahini sauce! Picturing all the ingredients…yup, I could make some of that too!

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Lol, this thread as a life of its own now ;-O

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

I meant “has” silly typo

Terri HarpLady 11 years ago

Just one more reason to love Steepster, and tea, cuz otherwise none of us would have met in the virtual world :)

MzPriss 11 years ago

Exactly! Can I come to your B&B when TF does?? There won’t be much sleeping but there will be lots of middle of the night tea…

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

…and giggles :-)

MzPriss 11 years ago

Extreme giggles!

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

You know what they say…if you visualize it enough, you will make it happen :-) see? the giggle part already happened :-)

MzPriss 11 years ago

Well I do keep a travel bag packed…

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Lol, I don’t travel much…but I guess it doesn’t hurt to be ready ;-)

Terri HarpLady 11 years ago

YES!
I think once my kids all move out, we should have a mini tea convention/slumber party (with no actual sleeping) at my house, to celebrate the grand opening of my bed & breakfast/Tea House.

MzPriss 11 years ago

So Terri, you know in New Orelans they all the Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs? I think we should name your B&B The Singing Harp Social Aid and Pleasure Club when we move in visit :)

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Aww, love the name! (And I saw what you did MzPriss) I totally vote for moving i !! In exchange, I’ll change the beds and do laundry for free. Oh, and I can cook for your guests awesome dishes with foods from your magic garden!!

MzPriss 11 years ago innocent face * what? I will help too. I don’t mind bed making and dish doing or lawn mowing. AND as an extra special incentive – I will refrain from singing! You cannot beat that deal
Terri HarpLady 11 years ago

LOL, I can certainly use the help!
BTW, I think this may be the longest tea posting comments thingy ever! :)

You guys have spiked your tea, I’m positive. Have you seen Brendens kombucha (or kumbaya whatever)…It’s fermenting into hippie wine (b4 you were born). (Sorry Brenden, it looks like fruity sangria with soggy granola on top. Most of them do not just yours). Need a party somewhere. A cruise! (Keep saying that)

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Haha! bonnie I did look at breden’s kombucha, my aunt use to make her own, that’s how I know it…he almost convinced me to try and make my own, lol!

A party with you bonnie? Anytime, let’s have one now, you know how much I’ve missed you :-)

Lariel of Lórien 11 years ago

What is this cukes of which you speak? And also, you guys are making me want to garden.

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Lol, we do sound like weirdos don’t we? Lariel, kombucha is fermented tea. It looks gross and slimy but it tastes pretty good and has a lot of health virtues. Brenden had a link on how to make your own on WP website but I can’t find it anymore…

Lariel of Lórien 11 years ago

I know what kombucha is, I’ve had it a few times. I was wondering what ‘cukes’ are slang for. That’s not really a word we use in California.

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Oh sorry, I didn’t notice “cukes” and this thread is wayyy tooo long for me to trace it now!

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Ah, cucumbers!

www.whisperingpinestea.com/kombucha and yes it’s hippy wine ;)

Whispering Pines Tea Company 11 years ago

Not to mention, you can make kombucha wine with champagne yeast ;)

Terri HarpLady 11 years ago

Cukes = cucumbers
I grow a lot of them, then I put them into a salt brine for 2 – 4 weeks to make old fashion dill pickles wth lots of garlic & dill.

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Ok, bookmarked this time! I can now imagine all kinds of drinks and cocktails with champagne Kumbucha ;-)

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

And of course there will be some on the table when I go visit St-Louis and stop at Terri’s B&B!!

Terri HarpLady 11 years ago

hell yeah! We’re still eating them from last summer, & I’ve started making the new ones, so there will always be more! Along with home made cultured (and very much alive!) sauerkraut, kimchi, dilly beans, & whatever else I add to my bubbling laboratory :)

Whispering Pines Tea Company 11 years ago

Mmm I bookmarked that one. Sounds yummy :)

Lariel of Lórien 11 years ago

Cukes sounds like an odd word, though I’ve only liked cucumbers if they’re in tahini sauce.

Terri HarpLady 11 years ago

Mmmmm, tahini sauce! Picturing all the ingredients…yup, I could make some of that too!

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Lol, this thread as a life of its own now ;-O

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

I meant “has” silly typo

Terri HarpLady 11 years ago

Just one more reason to love Steepster, and tea, cuz otherwise none of us would have met in the virtual world :)

MzPriss 11 years ago

Exactly! Can I come to your B&B when TF does?? There won’t be much sleeping but there will be lots of middle of the night tea…

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

…and giggles :-)

MzPriss 11 years ago

Extreme giggles!

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

You know what they say…if you visualize it enough, you will make it happen :-) see? the giggle part already happened :-)

MzPriss 11 years ago

Well I do keep a travel bag packed…

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Lol, I don’t travel much…but I guess it doesn’t hurt to be ready ;-)

Terri HarpLady 11 years ago

YES!
I think once my kids all move out, we should have a mini tea convention/slumber party (with no actual sleeping) at my house, to celebrate the grand opening of my bed & breakfast/Tea House.

MzPriss 11 years ago

So Terri, you know in New Orelans they all the Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs? I think we should name your B&B The Singing Harp Social Aid and Pleasure Club when we move in visit :)

TheTeaFairy 11 years ago

Aww, love the name! (And I saw what you did MzPriss) I totally vote for moving i !! In exchange, I’ll change the beds and do laundry for free. Oh, and I can cook for your guests awesome dishes with foods from your magic garden!!

MzPriss 11 years ago innocent face * what? I will help too. I don’t mind bed making and dish doing or lawn mowing. AND as an extra special incentive – I will refrain from singing! You cannot beat that deal
Terri HarpLady 11 years ago

LOL, I can certainly use the help!
BTW, I think this may be the longest tea posting comments thingy ever! :)

Profile

Bio

I am French Canadian, so please forgive me if my English is not always perfect :-/

My relationship with tea in a nutshell:

I’m married to straight Black. I have torrid love affairs with Oolong and Puerh. I party with Green and White occasionally. Flavored are not my BFF, I usually stay away from them.

Love Steepster, a place for tea lovers, where you learn and share with others.

About me:

I am a free spirit, I let people be who they are and expect the same in return.

Books! I love classic literature, but also modern and pretty much anything that captures my attention.

Music is also something I can’t live without… From Bach to Nirvana, my ears know no boundaries…

Animal and nature lover, amateur photographer.

I’ve been drinking tea for as long as I can remember.

Drinking tea is a sensorial experience. The name in itself “Camellia Sinensis” lingers the promess of an adventure for the senses…

Not a big «swapper», but will occasionally. Not because I don’t want to share but because I’m trying not to hoard so much.

Also, I have narrowed down the teas I really like over the years, and I don’t feel the need to try and buy everything the way I used to. (Maybe I have become a tea snob? Sigh…)

My ratings: because I pretty much drink only teas that I judge exceptional, my ratings are usually high. Don’t be shocked to see lots of 90’s and a few 100’s. That’s because I’ve had my share of crapy teas and I’m done with that ;-)

You can find me on Instagram here, I post about my tea sessions mostly, but also about the beautiful nature that surrounds me, and my fury companions :-)
