Toad-in-the-Hole Queen of America
St. George's Day! That means Toad-in-the-Hole, and I am the Toad-in-the-Hole Queen. I'm pretty sure that even if I were in England I'd be the Toad-in-the-Hole Queen, if Delia Smith was in France or something; I think definitely I'm the Toad-in-the-Hole Queen of America.
We don't have it that often, since it's so shockingly unhealthy (No fiber! High fat!), so we save it for special days. One of which is St. George's Day -- since he's the patron saint of England, and also because just the name Toad-in-the-Hole makes us think of the dragon in its cave.
But all that dragon stuff got added on; George was a martyr. One of those, according to the Golden Legend, who got martyred several different ways -- six, I think, including being boiled in oil and having his head chopped off -- and kept being resurrected. He was cheerful about this, of course, but I'm hoping that's not my lot, as I'm under the impression I'd lose my temper.
Knitting tonight! New West Wing!
New Law and Order! Two hours of knitting.
I'm really really really going to get the armbands to Scapa done.
No, really.
