Today's Breakfast: Savory Dutch Baby

I don't normally cook on my cheat day, but I really REALLY wanted a Savory Dutch Baby, and gosh darn it, I was gonna have a Savory Dutch Baby.

# Savory Dutch Baby

Adam Ragusea

2.0 whole eggs (batter)
2.0 pinches salt (batter)
2.0 tsp sugar
0.6666666666666666 cups whole milk
butter
1.0 whole scallion
3.0 ounces salami
2.0 whole eggs (topping)
0.6666666666666666 cups flour
2.0 tbsp mascarpone
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)

1 - Preheat an oven to 425 with an oven safe skillet/casserole dish/pie pan inside.
2 - Whisk the eggs, salt and sugar in a bowl until frothy.
3 - Whisk in 2/3 cups flour until smooth.
4 - Whisk in the milk and marscapone.
5 - Let the batter sit for 20 minutes.
6 - Remove the skillet and grease the bottom and sides with a layer of butter (it'll immediately melt, which is fine).
7 - Add your batter and return the skillet to the oven. Cook for 15 minutes.
8 - While cooking, chop your scallions and salami.
9 - Break two eggs into a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
10 - After 15 minutes remove the dutch baby and allow to deflate a bit.
11 - Once it's flat enough for the ingredients add the salami, your eggs and cover with chopped scallions.
12 - Return to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until eggs are done to your liking.

It's good that I learned a lot of new techniques for the first eight hours of my day. Cause it allowed me to recreate all those files I lost to a hard drive hiccup in two hours.

Sigh. I used to like the IT Crowd.

Tonight's Dr Who is The Runaway Bride.

Oh, my goodness, Catherine Tate's Donna is so so so so annoying in this episode. I remember when it was announced that she was going to be the Doctor's companion I rolled my eyes and figured we were in for a nightmare.

She ended up being the best companion of the new series.

Fixing an audio dropout in the VHS by putting a piece of the French audio back in for a split second.

Uncle: UAW
Cousin: UAW

Jenn: Nearly gets fired from her job for using "Union" to confirm the letter "U" on the phone at a call center.

WGA, SAG-AFTRA and now UAW. UAW hits close to home as I have family that worked for UAW.

So many strikes. Good. :)

Sometimes these English over-dubs take a little more work than just copying the audio over. It's just a hard cut, but this bootleg was missing the opening and closing which...well...makes for a bad hard-cut. But bad is better than nothing.

YouTube Ad: "Look at you, nearing the big Five Oh! You've been putting money away for retirement--"

Jenn: "BWAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAH!"

"Alright, boys, get your guns ready. The pumpkin heist is GO!"
