This summer we have been on a real Toad in the Hole kick. Have you ever had these? I have heard a few different names for them. But, what's in a name? That which we call a breakfast by any other name would taste as sweet. Yes I am a nerd. In the this context I, unlike Romeo, do not mean sweet like sweet. I mean sweet as in beyond awesome, like sweeeet!
We eat these a lot, and early in our marriage (so like a few months ago) we decided to take it to the next level and make Toad in the Hole Sandwiches. We take an extra slice of bread and toast it. Then we add cheese, avocado (if we have them, which we always do), red onion, and sometimes he adds a tomato slice to his. Then we sandwich it all together and enjoy. Yesterday I woke up with the beginning of a pretty awful new cold. I was congested and tired and felt like a puppy with a constantly wet nose (don't pretend like you don't know what I mean). We heated up some soup when we got home from church and then relaxed a bit. Relaxing turned to napping, which usually makes me
feel guilty but, I was sick so I let it slide. When we woke up around 6:00 it was time for dinner. I was still feeling pretty draggy so he made us some Toad in the Hole Sandwiches with a special new addition, prosciutto. They were so delicious and now they are all I want to eat. He also heated up cider for me and rubbed my back. It is kinda, well almost delightful being sick when someone loves you and fusses over you.
I am not pointing any fingers but, there was one particularly runny nosed nephew when I was hugging kids on Saturday and I am pretty sure he is to blame for my current state.

Another cold? Didn't you just have one? Wuff for you.
That sandwich sounded good the first time but with prosciutto, YUM. I need to get some ingredients.
