My Sunday flight to Los Angeles from San Francisco was delayed by 30 minutes because there were too many planes waiting to land at LAX. I was fine with the wait. On the plane's satellite TV, I watched the entire episode of "Iron Chef America" in which Bobby Flay battled some dude with an immemorable Italian surname that wasn't Batali over eggs. Flay served toad in a hole, which is a country bumpkin dish consisting of a piece of toast that has been hollowed out and filled with a fried egg in the hole. I was so inspired that I made myself two toads in the hole at my house for dinner. I didn't use any gourmet pancetta that show-off Flay served with his plate, which helped him win the challenge. I was lucky to have eggs in my refrigerator. Ever the bachelorette, I usually stock only milk, water and champagne in the fridge and veggie burgers, ice and vodka (Stoli, mind you) in the freezer.
