Definitely go to a game in the Swamp (or any of the big SEC stadiums) if you get the chance.. although I'm not sure how fired up everybody will be for Hawaii.
People will be more fired up than they are for the other whipping boy teams since it is the season opener...

Same here.

Wait List / Re: Cardozo Waitlist« on: April 04, 2008, 03:57:53 PM »
I got on the list when it was first offered to me, but removed myself about a month ago. Good luck to all of you!
Law School Applications / Re: Same Law School as Undergrad« on: April 02, 2008, 12:07:12 PM »
I really don't see you going to the law school at your undergraduate institution being an issue. Hell it would probably even raise your stock when dealing with Michigan alumni, but I doubt it would hurt you in any way, except maybe in Ohio .
Law School Applications / Re: If you haven't heard from W&L yet, likely reject?« on: March 31, 2008, 03:55:38 PM »
I am, my numbers are a lot less competitive than yours though...
Law School Applications / Re: will my acceptance be rescinded??????????« on: March 31, 2008, 03:54:54 PM »
Probably not... the only condition that most law schools seem to add with their offers of admissions are that you furnish them with a final transcript showing that you have indeed graduated.

Last year I read that quote here and it's stayed with me. Enter Henrietta's Birthday cake. Days later and I still can't stop thinking about it. I wanted details. I found out Aunt Emily made the cake. Uncle Brian was in charge of the icing and strawberries. And little Henrietta did the sprinkles. You guys nailed this Birthday cake. It's a perfect mess.
Martha Is OVER

I absolutely love this! :)ReplyDelete
Ha ha, I agree wholeheartedly. This cake is the most perfect representation of imperfection I have ever seen!ReplyDelete
I don't think Martha's OUT, but this cake is certainly IN! I want to have this cake it and eat it too.ReplyDelete
I used to be a fan of "perfect" store bought cakes until I saw this. I love how they did this together as a family too.ReplyDelete
I love it! I bet it tasted great too.ReplyDelete
You know what? Nothing about that first picture struck me as un-pretty in the least! I actually misread the quote at first and thought Martha had made that cake, and I was all "Yeahhh Martha! Way to get with the times!" Haha!ReplyDelete
It's beautiful, though. What a way to celebrate a pretty little lady on her birthday :)
I love this cake! It's perfection in the realest way possible! I linked back to you on my blog because I love that quote and this cake so much!ReplyDelete
darling cake!!ReplyDelete

I think it's the bright colors that make it the perfect imperfect cake!:)ReplyDelete
- Uncle BrianAugust 16, 2011 at 3:31 PM
Well I'm glad our cake was a hit.ReplyDelete
One important tip: look up ways to modify your cake mix if you're planning to make a layered cake from a boxed mix. Boxed mixes are SO moist and soft that they cannot support the weight of multiple layers. We used a Betty Crocker mix and there were modification instructions on the Betty Crocker website, http://www.bettycrocker.com/menus-holidays-parties/parties-and-get-togethers/~/media/Files/PDF/BC_Weddingcakeflyer%20FNL.ashx
Dude, I should have a daddy blog...
martha ain't out, but this cake is certainly in because of martha- look at that thing! it's like a kid got a hold of a martha stewart baking book. so so good!ReplyDelete
I'm impressed. and craving sweets. aruba is lacking in the desserts.ReplyDelete
A mess? is lovely! When I saw the first pic I thought "WOW this is pretty!" I wanted to do that with the sprinkles for Matthew's 1st b-day, little I knew that putting the frosting in the fridge and then adding the sprinkles wouldn't let them stick to it....oh well, lesson learned ;)ReplyDelete
The cake is seriously so great! I love that the daddy was in charge of the icing and strawberries...that part looks so full of creativity and love, and makes me miss my own daddy :). Way to go, Sharon's family!ReplyDelete
This cake is brilliant. Exactly what cake should be - fun and messy.ReplyDelete
While I love Martha's ideas I know I can never achieve her mark of perfection. It's robotic.
- AnonymousJuly 11, 2012 at 12:04 PM
Sacrilege! The cake's great, but it has nothing to do with Martha. Martha is classic and will never be over!ReplyDelete
Awesome, this is a cake I want to eat. And I can do imperfect. :)ReplyDelete

"My son in high school wears these to school. His uniform is to wear black shoes. It is six weeks since we bought them and the sole of the shoe is tearing away from the top of the shoe. They probably can be glued. I am sure he is hard on them but I had hoped they would last a little longer."

No show or performer captivates like award-winning illusionist Taylor Reed as he takes you on a magical journey with stunning illusions, colorful sets, original story lines, award-winning Standard Poodles, and high-energy entertainment.
Taylor is a 41-year veteran to the world of magic, and interacts with the crowd like no other illusionist.
Witness the show everyone is talking about as Taylor unfolds the greatest illusions ever in a spell-binding experience that even has Carrot Top (Comedian/Las Vegas headliner) saying, "Taylor's show rocks!"

3:00 pm & 7:30 pm Tuesday through Sunday (mid May to early September)
Check the Availability Calendar for specific times on individual dates.

Taylor has shared the stage with Chubby Checker, Roy Head, Freddy Fender, Jim Ed Brown, Billy "Crash" Craddock, and Selena. He has also performed his award-winning act for thousands of people, some including Carrot Top, Muhammed Ali, Milton Berle, Heather Locklear, Tony Danza, Mike Tyson, Don King, Sylvester Stallone, Bridgette Nielson, and Bobby Brown, to name a few. Witness the performer everyone is talking about as Taylor unfolds the greatest illusions ever in a spell-binding experience that leaves you feeling as if you've seen a "personality" and not "just another magician."
As a child, Taylor performed in front of live audiences from Clute, Texas to Las Vegas, Nevada with a captivating show designed to dazzle spectators of all ages. Taylor and his 15-member crew traveled throughout the United States to share his gift with many charities such as the March of Dimes, the Shriners, and the Ronald McDonald House. While taking time off from touring, Taylor performed eight to ten shows a week at the Taylor Reed Magical Dinner Theater, where many other charitable performances were given. Many of Taylor's generous performances were covered on television.
Taylor then moved to Las Vegas where he performed magic and created illusions for 15 years. He even made time to perform over 720 sold out shows in South Seoul, Korea. In 1999, Taylor moved back to Texas to perform as the resident magician at the Lake Theater in Lake Jackson while taking his "Think Big" magic act to area schools to increase motivation and big dreams in children. Taylor now calls Branson, Missouri home where he has been a headlining comedy magician/illusionist for the past seven years.

Take care of your little bun in the oven by taking care of yourself. It's often hard to maintain a proper nutritional balance during pregnancy' especially if your nutrition wasn't the best before hand. However' that's why prenatal vitamins like Zahler's Prenatal + DHA are formulated - to help expecting mothers get the nutrition both they and their babies need.
Zahler's kosher prenatal vitamins with DHA feature numerous essential nutrients like B vitamins' Iodine' and Calcium. Calcium is integral for a woman's health because it ensures bone density and overall bone health. During pregnancy' the same applies to the expecting mother's baby; proper calcium levels help ensure the bone development and structure of the baby's bones.
These kosher prenatal vitamins are also formulated with DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). This omega-3 fatty acid has been suggested by some studies and research to possibly contribute to the healthy development of the baby's brain and eyes.
Zahler is proud to say that all their formulations—including Prenatal + DHA Softgels—are certified kosher in accordance with Jewish dietary laws. However' it's not just their ingredients that are kosher; everything from the tablet binders to the stabilizing agents are kosher as well.
Not only do we at PureFormulas offer you a great Customer Happiness Team that is ready to assist you in your online shopping experience' but we also proudly offer free standard shipping for all orders.
Zahler holds itself to a few' but very powerful guidelines. They believe in purity. That's why their formulations feature pure ingredients straight from nature; that means no artificial colorants or additives. They formulate their products by this code because they believe that ingredients closer to nature yield better nutritional content. All Zahler formulations are rooted in up to date and relevant research' bringing you not only pure' natural ingredients' but potentially affective formulations as well. Zahler also prides themselves on providing products that are certified kosher.

Terrific Prenatal!
The DHA in it is an extra bonus to the regular prenatal supplement. I take this one because they say DHA is extremely important for a child's brain development. Besides for that this is one company I can surely trust due to the great outcome I've seen from some of their other vitamins. I would definitely recommend it to any pregnant or breastfeeding mom
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Tiny Trees, Deep Roots: The History of Bonsai in the Bay Area
To walk through the Japanese-styled wooden doors on the Northern inlet of Oakland's Lake Merritt is to enter another world. The landscape is checkered with trees that are bent and wired to mimic what one might see in nature—that is, if everything in nature were just a few feet tall. This, the volunteer-run Bonsai Garden Lake Merrit (BGLM), is among the Bay Area's few remaining places to celebrate the treasured ancient art form of Japanese bonsai.

Simple Tweaks for Summer Weight Loss
Losing weight and keeping it off can be a challenge, especially in the summer months when travel, outdoor barbecues and other social events are in full swing. But it's not impossible.
I know this because not long ago, I was nearly twice my current weight. As a neurologist, busy wife and mom of five kids, I realize how hard it can be to lead a balanced lifestyle. The key to my 140-pound weight loss was making smart choices.

The Surprising Link Between Weight Loss and Diet Beverages
There's no perfect formula for successful weight loss and maintenance. As a veteran weight-loss researcher, I've seen it all: people who continually struggle to shed pounds and, on the flipside, champion losers.

The Best and Worst Sips for Your Hips
Made with wholesome fruit, milk and ice, what's not to love about a healthy smoothie on a hot day? Not so fast—although they may sound innocent enough, these summer sippers could actually be massive calorie bombs in disguise. Many common selections at smoothie chains and fast food restaurants pack two times more sugar than a candy bar and more calories than a burger and fries!

Food Showdown: Battle of the St. Paddy's Day Brews!
Top o' the morning to ya and Happy St. Patrick's Day! Even if you're not of Irish descent, there are many ways you can still get into the spirit of this fun, heritage-based holiday. You could deck yourself out in green from head to toe, or blast Irish music and jig around your house while you do chores. Or, you could enjoy a frosty mug of Irish beer, green food coloring optional. If you do choose to indulge in a festive drink tonight, which Irish brew will set you back the least amount of calories: a Guinness Draught stout or a Killian's Irish Red lager?

Burn It Off: St. Patrick's Day Beer Edition
St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner. If you're like most Americans looking for a reason to party, this means one of two (or…two of two) things: 1) You're going to down a pint of your favorite Irish beer in celebrate of St. Paddy, or 2) you're going to drink one of your favorite American beers tinted green.
But if you're trying to keep your weight in check—or even lose a few pounds—a beer or two can really throw things off. Alcohol can lead to weight gain, as the body processes it much differently than food. And burning off a few hundreds extra calories for a day or two of bar hopping is no small feat.
To help you decide which beer might make the best fit in your St. Patrick's Day diet (if any), I came up with this great visual guide to show exactly how many calories are in your favorite stouts, ales and draughts, along with how much exercise it'll take to burn off the beer of your choice.

The Real Dangers of Energy Drinks
Recently my teenage son and I found ourselves killing time at the grocery store while waiting for the pharmacy to fill a prescription. Surrounded by an array of protein supplements and energy drinks, my typical "tell mom only what is absolutely necessary" son was full of questions and comments.
Our discussion about energy drinks was interesting--and somewhat disturbing--on several levels. As any mom knows, it is important to not pass judgment or show signs of shock if you want the conversation to continue. This little discussion led me to the following conclusions:
- Energy drinks are very popular with teens and young adults (no surprise there)
- It is a generational thing: I have my coffee; they have their energy drinks.
- Shop-lifting the energy shots (the small, concentrated bottles, including 5 Hour Energy, which I've written about in the past) is common. Some stores are placing these under lock and key.
- Savvy marketers have convinced our teens and young adults that energy drinks can provide them with a mental and physical edge. Therefore they are being used in large quantities both on a daily basis and before academic testing and sporting events.

The Cost of a Cocktail: Up to 18 Pounds a Year
The wassailers arrived on stage during the local production of the Boar's Head Yule Log Festival. Their voices boomed, yet blended beautifully.
Here we come a-wassailing
Among the leaves so green;
Here we come a-wand'ring
So fair to be seen.
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail too;
And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year
And God send you a Happy New Year.
Sitting in front of me was a little girl. She turned to the woman sitting next to her: "Mommy, Mommy," she asked. "What's a wassailer?"
Back in the day, the Christmas season made the rich a little more generous. Therefore bands of peasants and beggars would dance and sing their way through the streets of England in hopes of obtaining drinks from the wealthy's wassail bowls, which contained a hearty combination of hot ale, beer, apple slices, and spices. 'Twas a perfect brew to warm a frozen nose and tingling toes, and these singers would head from home to home searching for more.
Since those carolers were walking door-to-door, they probably expended the wassail calories and didn't worry much about packing on the pounds. Today however, this is probably not the case. Not only can we blame alcohol for our weight gain, but many of us are drinking our calories instead of reaching for nutrient-dense foods.
A recently released data brief from the National Center for Health Statistics reported on the calories consumed from alcoholic beverages by 11,000 U.S. adults from 2007-2010. This information was obtained from adults, ages 20 and older, using 24-hour dietary recall interviews. The results are shocking! Read More ›
Swap the Starbucks: 17 Skinnier Recipes Worth Sipping
The modern coffee house has become the de facto office space for thousands of work-from-home Americans, including yours truly. When I need to change of scenery or to interact in-person with other human beings, my local java joint is my go-to option. The people-watching is decent and I will often bump into a friend, which approximates the traditional water-cooler conversation. It's also a place for nutritional choices and I often find myself struggling to stick to the program. Whether it's the sweet aromas or the attractive displays, many of the items in the forefront are loaded with calories and easily put me over the top on my daily sugar intake. not to mention how terrible I feel later. Even worse are the hidden calories in my original favorite drink, the latte. I thought I was being so healthy, because there was no minimal sugar, only to find out how many calories are in the deceptively large servings. I am happy to share, however, that I have learned a lot over the last year to take control of the coffee house menu to make it work for me and my health needs. Read More ›

Infographic: Why Coffee & Tea Are So Good for You
Editor's Note: Coffee, tea and caffeine. Sometimes you hear how horrible they can be for your body. Other times you're told that you're not drinking enough of them. What's the truth?

You Asked: Do Drinks Like Coffee, Tea or Diet Soda Count toward My Daily Water Quota?
A few decades ago, Americans consumed less than 10% of their daily calories in the form of drinks, but today we get 21% of our calories from beverages. For someone eating 2,000 calories a day, that's 420 calories a day in the form of drinks!
When you're trying to lose weight, you have fewer calories in your "budget" each day, which means you need to make all of them count. Those "empty" calories from sugary beverages are an easy place to cut back.
That said, one of the most common questions new SparkPeople members have is "Do drinks like coffee, tea or diet soda count toward my daily water quota?"
SparkPeople recommends eight to twelve cups of water daily, but for some people, drinking that much water can be difficult. Fruit juices, milk, teas and decaf coffee also count, as do flavored (unsweetened) waters, carbonated water, and water with fruit or herbs. So, yes, you can drink beverages other than water to meet your hydration needs, but there are a few things to consider before you start sipping.
Caffeinated beverages can actually increase your need for more water and dehydrate the body (caffeine is a diuretic) so a lot of caffeinated coffee or soda will not quench your thirst.
Artificially sweetened drinks, including diet sodas, can also count toward your quota. However, we recommend no more than four servings (32 ounces) of artificially sweetened beverages daily.
If you struggle to control your sweet tooth, you might want to avoid diet drinks. Preliminary studies suggest that high intakes of artificial sweeteners might affect appetite control (i.e. by eating more sweet foods—artificially sweetened or not—you crave more of them). Individuals who want to use artificial sweeteners should do so within the context of a sensible weight-management program that includes a balanced diet and regular exercise.
My personal opinion, particularly for people trying to lose weight, is to drink plain water whenever possible. I feel it helps to cleanse the body when weight loss and fat breakdown is occurring. I also know that it helps to keep the hands and mouth busy, to reduce the urge to snack. This is a form of behavior modification that can help break old habits (such as mindless eating) and replace them with ones (drinking water when boredom hits). Most people report feeling better when they consume at least a few glasses of plain old H2O each day. If you're going to consume caffeinated beverages or diet drinks, consume as much or more water to balance them out.
Other caloric beverages, such as juice, sports drinks, and milk, can be part of a healthy diet. SparkPeople uses the guidelines set by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, which were developed by the Beverage Guidance Panel in 2006. The experts on that panel stressed that a healthy diet should NOT rely on fluids to provide calorie or nutrient needs, and that water is necessary for metabolism and normal physiological function. In fact, water is the only fluid that the body truly needs.

Just yesterday, we reported that Urban Outfitters refused to acknowledge a bed bug infestation at its 6th Avenue store. But in an official statement, the retailer outlines the problem, and reveals the steps that it's taken.
According to an e-mail we received from Urban Outfitter's PR team:
"Urban Outfitters is super vigilant about making sure our stores are bed bug-free, especially in areas like New York, where bed bugs are unfortunately an issue for everyone who lives, works, or runs a business. We take the safety and health of our employees and customers very seriously.
We employ a third-party exterminator to test for bed bugs at all our retail locations in Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn on a monthly basis. We've had our 14th St. and 6th Ave. location inspected by exterminators and certified bed-bug sniffing dogs every month since September 2010, and twice a month since March of this year. In July, two isolated bed bug-related incidents occurred in employee-only areas of this store, and so we immediately implemented the treatment protocol recommended to us by our third-party exterminator.
Since this treatment, we've had multiple follow-up inspections, and have found no presence of bed bugs or bed bug activity. We hate bed bugs as much as everyone else and will continue to be proactive in keeping them out of our stores."
Here's hoping that solves the problem.

Felipe Pomar – World Champion Tsunami Rider
Felipe Pomar set the bar early for Latin American surfers by winning the 1965 World Championships in his mother land of Lima, Peru. His unorthodox yet gutsy approach to surfing the tricky peaks at Punta Rocas earned him the win over some of the world's greatest wave riders. Mike Doyle, Fred Hemmings, Mickey Munoz, Paul Strauch, Midget Farrelly, and Nat Young were among his conquests en route to the historic win.
Some speculation swirled that Pomar may have received preferential hometown treatment from the judges and that his performance wasn't worthy of the win. Describing the final, Midget Farrelly reportedly stated, "Felipe did a better job at riding the way the judges wanted." But the general consensus agreed that Pomar's local knowledge and his calculating approach enabled him to make sense of the shifting peaks and consequently make the most of the waves he rode. At the final horn, it was Felipe Pomar, fresh from 18 months of training in Hawaii, who became Latin America's first surfing world champion
Born in 1943, Felipe Pomar possessed all indications of future success: good looks, natural charisma, and wealth. But not until the age of 14 did he find his true calling. He took up surfing and progressed quickly. Five years later, he won the Peru International. He would win this event again in 1965 and 1966. Described as a quiet, well-mannered aristocrat; Pomar's disarming presence on land was a stark contrast to his aggressive, competitive disposition in the water. Turning his attention to Hawaii, Pomar proved his big wave chops as a four time finalist of the Duke Kahanamoku Invitational. He also earned second place at the Smirnoff Pro in 1970.
While he is forever etched into surfing history for his world championship win, it was Pomar's unique experience on October 2, 1974 that expanded his notoriety beyond competitive surfing. Felipe Pomar is widely credited as being one of the few surfers ever to ride a tsunami. This bizarre event occurred while surfing with his longtime friend, Pitti Block, on a small island off the coast of Peru. After an earthquake rocked the area, Pomar and Pitti were sucked out to sea and subsequently caught two large swells, successfully riding them toward shore.
A decade later, Pomar embarked on a mission to re-write surfing history. His claim was that the ancient Peruvians (not the Hawaiians) were actually the first to regularly ride waves for fun using reed fishing craft and may have introduced the activity to Hawaii. While no definitive archaeological proof has been produced, Pomar's crusade can be added to his many notable achievements.

Kyle Flood optimistic about Brandon Jones
By Matt Sugam
PISACATAWAY – After giving a grim injury report on Brandon Jones (lower body) the day after the Louisville game, head coach Kyle Flood was more optimistic about his fifth-year senior cornerback on Sunday night.
"We were more optimistic today than we were at the end of the game," Flood said.
Still, Flood is unsure about his availability for the bowl game.
"Without getting into the specifics of the injury, it's going to be a very tight timeline for him," Flood said. "So he's really going to be on the bubble until we get to about game week and then we'll have to make a decision "
Note: Flood said there is a chance kicker Kyle Federico (hip) could play in the bowl game depending on how he practices. Federico missed the final seven games of the season.

Mark the boundary zone with the included flags to teach your pet where he or she is allowed to roam. Then place the receiver collar on your pet. The system will deliver a warning beep as your pet nears the boundary zone marked by the flags, and if your pet crosses the zone the collar will give a safe, static correction. With a little training, your pet will soon understand to avoid the boundary zone and will be safely contained within your yard. You can also contain a second dog with this system, simply by adding an additional stay and play receiver collar (second collar sold separately). The receiver collar included in the stay and play is waterproof and fits dogs 5-pound or larger with neck sizes of 6-23-inch. For use in the US only. This unit is compatible with all US 110v outlets and are not to be used with 220v international voltage.

text: Hello, I am new to stackless (but not python). Currently my small team has an online game in development. The server is about 25% complete, and written in c++. We were always planning to use python as the scripting language, using an embedded python interpreter. However, the stackless actor model looks most interesting and flexible. Would it be worth us porting our server code over to Stackless Python, before we go any further? Perhaps these questions will explain my concerns: How can Stackless Python take advantage of Multi-core architectures if it only runs in a single thread? Can physics or networking run in seperate threads, if so how can they communicate safely with the main tasklet? Can it compare to the raw speed of c++? Surely c++, due to its widespread use and maturity(?!), has many more 3rd party libraries available. I imagine I can still extend the Stackless Python interpreter to call c++? Is there support for Stackless Python in Python debuggers (especially on Linux)? Is it possible to embed Stackless Python in c++? How does this affect the tasklet mechanism? Your advice is most appreciated - Thank you. Simon -- Linux Counter: User# 424693

Slow Cooker Ultimate Breakfast Casserole Recipe
Sometimes the very best food doesn't make a very good picture.
I'm totally okay with that.
This is a wonderful breakfast casserole----it has pretty much everything you can imagine in it, and I was very close to calling it "kitchen sink breakfast casserole," but the girls thought that was kind of weird.
So, it's the ULTIMATE.
can't get any better than that!
The Ingredients.
serves 10-12
12 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
4 cups toasted (or stale) bread cubes (I used Pamela's Amazing Wheat Free bread)
2 cups shredded cheese (I used a 4 cheese Mexican blend)
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
8 eggs
1 1/2 cup milk (I used fat free cow's, any would work just fine)
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
The Directions.
Use a 6 quart slow cooker. This makes a lot! Cook bacon to desired crispyness, and toast the bread. Set these aside. Spray the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray, and set that aside, too.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheese, mushrooms, eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
Put the bread cubes into the bottom of your sprayed slow cooker, and pour the egg mixture evenly over the entire thing. Place bacon pieces on top.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until eggs have set, or on high for about 3-4 hours. When the eggs have completely set, and your casserole has begun to brown on top and pull away from the sides, take the lid off the cooker and let the steam and moisture evaporate for about 15 minutes before serving.
The Verdict.
Absolutely delicious!! Everyone in our house loved this casserole, and my grandma ate the leftovers and reported that they were wonderful.
This would be a welcome addition to a brunch, or to serve to overnight guests.

this sounds fabulous and my boyfriend would LOVE it!!! thank you!

Eggs cook very quickly on the stove or in the oven so I guess I am just wondering why you would cook them in a crock pot for 6-8 hours. Isn't it more work to plan when this would be ready for breakfast and make sure it gets turned on for when you would want it to be done (4-8 hours beforehand) than to just make this in the oven in the morning? I love some of your meat recipes that the lengthy cooking time adds to the tenderness/flavor of the meat but something like eggs or brownies in a cup (another recipe I remember reading) seems much easier to make the old-fashioned way.... in the oven in 30 minutes. Just a thought.

hi Anon, you are right, eggs cook *very* quickly, and in my house, that's not a good thing! I put this on with a 3 week-old strapped to me in a sling, and it just wouldn't be safe for me to be standing over the stove or taking hot food out of an open oven.
if you are able to use the stove or oven, than you are right!
I also like that I can get the kitchen completely cleaned up before company arrives if serving guests.

Looks delicious - particularly the GF bread. Can I ask, is that from a Pamela's mix or is that bread sold pre-made? I'm still on the hunt for a really good GF bread!
- February 2, 2010 at 10:04 AM
- madpiano said...
This sounds really tempting - I wonder if it would overcook if I leave it for longer ? I would think putting this on on a Saturday evening and waking up to it on a Sunday morning would be delicious. It's like a whole english breakfast in a pot....

see, if i tried to cook that overnight or something for breakfast, i'd be up all night in anticipation with those yummy breakfast smells!

The last time we made Soy Yogurt, we made it in a slow cooker; it just turned out fine! It was too runny the last time we made it; one time, it was jelled up too much; another time, it came out kinda funny because I used blueberry jam, instead of apricot jam, which is what I use now.
We are gonna email your site to our daughter; we got her a slow cooker at Costco!

I wouldn't be able to eat something that rich: eggs, whole milk, cheese, all in one dish. I have genetically aqquired high cholesterol and those ingredients are simply too RICH that they would plug my arteries. Sorry, Steph! :-)

Love the idea of breakfast recipes for the crockpot! Maybe if something tasty and hot was cooked and ready to eat in the mornings the kids would not skip breakfast!
- February 3, 2010 at 6:44 AM
I can see this becoming a Sunday morning favourite - lovely to wake up to a cooked breakfast and a clean kitchen !

For anyone who wants to cook this overnight but fears being kept awake by the wonderful smell (like me!)... try plugging it into an outlet in the garage or using an extension cord to get it out there. The smells should be pretty well contained in the garage and you might be able to sleep better! My mother-in-law taught me this and it works great.

Reading all the comments . . . . . I read your blog because it inspires me to try things I haven't thought of on my own.
I work all day and I love coming home to having dinner ready. . . . yes even though I could do this over the stove as soon as I get home.
I too have been blessed with the high cholesterol genes. . . . I think I'd adjust your recipe to egg whites with maybe one yolk for color. . . turkey bacon or sausage. . . low fat milk. . . . I think I could make this have less calories with not much effort.
Thanks for the inspirational recipes.

I like how you get your girls' input on your recipes, even the titles! I'm onboard with "ultimate" but I could have gone with "kitchen sink". ;-) Looks wonderful, Steph! This would work great the next time we have out-of-town guests.

I love breakfast casseroles but never thought about slow-cooking one. What a perfect thing to make overnight!
- February 4, 2010 at 7:16 AM
- katherine_rondeau said...
Perhaps it's best not to complain about how a dish might turn out until one actually cooks it for him/herself??? I make an egg dish that sits overnight in the refrigerator before baking it the next day for an hour -- this sounds just like that recipe, but instead of having to keep that 13x9 pan of gloppy eggs, milk and bread taking up room in the fridge all night, I can do this instead!

I actually had made something similar to this in my crock pot based my mom's egg souffle that she makes everytime there is a brunch get together. Mine wasn't quite right, it was a little too firm. I think I'll try this next time.

I saw this recipe yesterday, and as of right now, its literally in the crock pot cooking away. I am eagerly anticipating its delicious flavors! The only thing different about mine: Its only me and my roommate here so I had to cut the ingredients haha. (Although Im sure 10 servings wouldnt go to waste)
Thanks for the recipe! Only 2 more hours to go until eat time!

I just bought your book, and it came yesterday. It looks fantastic - thank you!
- February 6, 2010 at 7:23 PM
Tried this over the weekend. Perfect thing to wake up to in the morning after a freezing snow!
I didn't love the bread I used though - think next time I'll use plain old white instead of wheat.

I tried a similar recipe quite a while ago and it seemed rubbery. Maybe I need to give this one a whirl! I linked to it on my weekly roundup - thanks so much for sharing!

- Little Pink Magnolia said...
I just discovered your website and let me tell you, I love it! Being a medical school student, I use my slow cooker all the time just to make things easier. I was wondering if you think this recipe could be halved to fit in a 3 quart?
- February 14, 2010 at 1:50 AM
Made this for Saturday night dinner after our pet sitting rounds. Six hours on low was too long in my 6-quart Crock Pot brand "countdown" cooker. The very bottom next to the crockery was, erm, toasty :)- truly burned. But the rest was very tasty and hubby liked it. I'll just try four hours next time, and there WILL be a next time. Yum.
- February 14, 2010 at 9:01 AM
- Jess and Tim said...
Tried this 2 days ago. It was good, but the whole outside (any part touching the crock pot) was wasted-6 hrs in the crock pot was too long-the outside got waaay too crispy-almost burned. The inside was good though. We could smell it all night cooking (well 1am-8am). yummm. Think I would just make this in the oven next time :-)
- February 14, 2010 at 12:27 PM
- Sally said...
You could even add some sausage to it to! This looks like a recipe that I could do at midnight and set it to cook for 6 of 8 hours. Wake up and it is ready!
- March 4, 2010 at 11:19 AM
- Sam said...
YUM!! I'm getting married next weekend, and the bridesmaids and I have to wake up around 5 to start getting ready! This will be the best homemade breakfast ever served at 5:00 AM!!!
THANK YOU, Stephanie!
P.S. We totally registered for your recipe book :)
- August 7, 2010 at 5:57 PM
- carol said...
Yum, I'll be tossing this together crack of dawn tomorrow for our Christmas breakfast party at the office. I'm using shredded potatoes in the bottom instead of bread, though - so fingers crossed for us!
- December 16, 2010 at 5:39 PM
- TattooedMomma said...
Hey! I just found your blog and am super excited to try all your wonderfully yummy recipes! I just was wondering...I've never really ventured in the crock pot area, but would love to try now! Do you think I could replace the bread with au gratin potatoes from a box? I would just be afraid they would burn if there not mixed in, but for presentation wise, I would love for the layers to really stand out. Thanks!
- March 6, 2011 at 4:33 AM
For whoever said this is a fattening/high cholesterol dish....it is super easy to make substitutions and you should start learning how to modify recipes. For this one you use Fat Free milk, turkey bacon, low fat or fat free cheese and egg beaters

- Shannon said...
does anyone who can answer tonight :) think that if I made this ahead (tonight) and put it in the fridge so I could cook it on high in the morning, it would taste ok? I don't want to have it getting gross in the fridge, but I see a lot of recipes for the oven baked sitting overnight in the fridge. . this way it wouldn't burn right? :)
- August 27, 2012 at 7:13 PM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi Shannon,
It'll taste just fine-- but the concern is storing the food in the stoneware in the fridge and then putting the cold stoneware into the cooking element.
The slow cooker manufacturers don't recommend that-- -they worry the food won't get hot quickly enough to cook away any potential bacteria, and they worry about possible cracking from the stoneware.
If you do assemble the night before, let the crock sit out for a while to get up to room temp or so before heating. Or, assemble the food in different bowls/bags then layer into a roomtemp crock in the morning and plug in.
I hope this helps a bit! email me if you need more help.

I just bought a new slow cooker so I'm on the hunt for new recipes and found your site. Lots of great recipes I'm going to try, thanks! I I use a recipe similar to the above, baked in a 9x13 pan. A good alternative to the bread cubes is boxed stuffing mix like Stove Top (pretty sure someone makes a gluten-free type). They're pre-seasoned so they have a ton of flavor.

- Krysta P said...
Hi there. Love that this recipe uses bread instead of potatoes! I already had everything at home to make this. Question though. I have had mine on low for about 3.5-4 hours so far and it's seems as if everything may be close to being set but it's already burning on one side and possibly the bottom. I can't honestly tell if the eggs are set yet because my mixture of cheese and milk and eggs didn't distribute evenly so I have a layer of cheese on top, covering the eggs.
Any ideas?
- October 21, 2013 at 10:17 AM
- Stephanie ODea said...
Hi Krysta,
it sounds like you've got a hot spot in your pot. I'm glad you're monitoring it! Unplug and uncover the pot and let it sit for 10 to 20 minutes. It might be already fully cooked and the condensation just needs to dissipate.
If after the moisture on top releases and you check with a knife that you fine the eggs aren't fully set, you can slow cook again on low for an hour or so. You might want to rotate the stoneware, though, because of the hotspot.
I hope this helps a bit!!

- Rachel said...
I make some similar baked in the oven (after soaking in the fridge overnight) and was hoping I could do it in the cockpot to save oven space and have it hot and fresh as soon as we wake up, so yay! glad to have found this post! I make mine with bread, meat (usually chicken apple sausage, but have used ham, bacon, other types of sausage), mushrooms, eggs, 1/2 & 1/2 and cheddar cheese- mix that all together and top with more cheese. yummmmy

My problem is that I can't seem to get a properly (to me, at least) drawn espresso or doppio at the cafes that I've been to. The shots are too short, not hot enough, and they're friggin' bitter, but not in a good espresso way. Some of these cafes are pulling ristrettos (triples even - seriously, who drinks a triple ristretto, 20 or more grams of coffee to make 1 ounce of "liquid?"), which I wouldn't mind if they were good ristrettos. The other day I was in one of the cafes mentioned in the article, and I asked for a double drawn a little long - I was told that it couldn't be done that way (so they've never heard of a lungo, a double drawn to about 2.5 ounces) , but the barista said he could pour two ristrettos into a cup...he did, it sucked. Last week my wife and I were at a fancy cafe, where I went to watch the barista make our doppios - everything was at the ready (the $15,000 espresso machine, the scale for tamping, the great beans, etc.); the barista actually pulled a shot or two first to get into the groove of pulling an espresso, then drew our two doppios - they sucked.
Southside is about one thing and one thing only: well-made, well-prepared coffee. It is also among a number of coffee shops that have opened across the city recently, most of them in the past two years.
Add to the list Cafe Grumpy; Think; Oslo; Verb; Mud; Ninth Street Espresso; Gimme! Coffee; Jack's Stir Brew; Joe, the Art of Coffee; Abraço Espresso; Everyman Espresso — and that's not all. These coffee shops come in many guises: big with lots of tables; small with barely enough counter space to lean on; some serving food and even liquor, others offering only a few pastries; and a growing number of them selling beans from some of the world's best roasters.
My set-up at home is a PIDd Silvia/Rocky combo. I pull mainly Black Cat or Kid-O, both from Intellegentsia. My coffee hits the cup at around 172 degrees. I pull a 1.5 - 1. 75 ounce shot in 25 - 30 seconds, using 15 - 18 grams of coffee - depending on which basket I happen to have in my portafilter. The shots are delicious - the equal we've had anywhere in Italy on a number of trips (my point of reference).
So, what's going on in all these fantastic cafes? Do the baristas really know what an espresso should taste like and how hot it should be,or are they pulling all their shots based on how they'll be in milk based drinks (my guess), when the temperature of the shot doesn't really matter. How can I get a decently pulled shot when I go to one of these cafes participating in the renaissance? That's what I want for my $3 - a true espresso, served hot; not something that's meant to be diluted with 5 ounces of steamed milk...it's also why I bought the Silvia and rarely have espresso outside of my kitchen.
