Improving a masterpiece...

Every time I have a brunch party at the house, I make Ina Garten's Herbed Baked Eggs. I make them in individual ramekins and they are amazing every time, but today I had a thought - How about if I add a layer of French onions on the bottom and a piece of candied bacon on top? All I can say is....there may be no going back!
To make the French onions, I thinly sliced a sweet onion, sautéed in butter until the onions started to caramelize, added some garlic, salt, pepper, beef stock, and balsamic vinegar, and cooked until the liquid had cooked off. For the bacon, I just topped each slice with brown sugar and black pepper before baking at 375 degrees for 20 minutes, or until the bacon was crisp.
When it was time to make the eggs, I put a layer of the onions in the bottom of a pre-heated and greased muffin tin, cracked in the fresh egg, topped with Ina's herb/cheese mixture, and popped under the broiler. Once done, I added a piece of the candied bacon on top of each egg. Heaven. (This would make a great English muffin sandwich too!)
So Ina, if you're reading this -
A. THANK YOU for the original brilliant recipe.
B. You may want to try this the next time you make them!









There are the "Royal Maces" of Strike Fighter Squadron 27 or VFA-27, stationed near Japan; the link "Tophatters" of Strike Fighter Squadron link 14, based in California; and link the famous "Blue Angels®" acrobatic patrol.
The Reverso Tribute Small seconds is slim and elegant, measuring 45.6mm long by 27.4mm wide. It's just 8.6mm link thick – impressive, particularly if one takes link into account that the case itself link is far from simple and can do the things you see below.
In pursuit of something to keep his mind engaged and his hands busy, link Herring stumbled across watchmaking as a career option and link applied to the Veterans Watchmaker Initiative in Odessa, Delaware. He link quickly applied, and after waiting over a year, he was accepted.
While link the link James Brand is young and nimble and west-coast minded, Timex is the opposite. It’s based in Middlebury, Connecticut. The company has been around forever (since 1854, to be exact), and it's only recently, under the direction of Giorgio Galli, that Timex designs could be considered exciting and fresh. They've built their reputation on staid design link that's steadfast and dependable. You know, the whole "takes a licking and keeps on ticking" slogan.
The Glassbox's weirdest feature is probably its concave dial, which slopes upwards to fill in the tall sapphire crystal. But this new version puts the tachymeter in link black, giving the visual effect of breaking up that slope. I think it's link a great design choice and makes the dial more successful than link either of last year's models.
