Happy 10 th Anniversary

to iPhone

As Kleenex and SkiDoo have slipped into our daily lexicon , iPhone is sometimes synonymous w/ smart phone.
Not the first smart phone and sometimes charged w / outright theft or usurpation , the iPhone stands as a testament to timing and thinking.
Other cell phones had cameras BUT not like the iPhone. Designed for non business use - fun and utility seemed to be the thrust of the iPhone philosophy.
Touch screen technology was game changing and hit a chord w/ users.
Now , strongly footed on the iPhone 7 revolution , only market saturation seems to be a problem.
Our iPhone 4s s were bought new and 2 generations out of date or used from a friend. In fact , I was wondering how out of date that our phones really were.
Truth be told , I goofed. I bought the first 4s for Siri , the talking aspect of the phone. I tried incorporating Siri into my phone use.
However , we do not pay for a data plan and thus Siri was confined to home use or WiFi accessibility. Siri has faded from my radar.
And in a search of Apple sites , I found the iPhone forum and user boards. The celebrated users of iPhones that month had 100 - 200 apps from the AppleStore loaded and functioning on their respective phones.
100 ! , I use 4 apps during the week. 2 are phone and camera
Crikey , that would be my whole day , 100 ? 50 ? no way.

Weather , brilliant sun and warm is coming

A new feature for the blog is Recipe for the Morning.
Egg in the Hole

Not to be confused w/ Toad in the Hole

Warm a pan.
Cut a centred  2 inch hole in a slice of bread
Lightly butter the pan and crank up the heat to medium - high
Saute the bread in the pan
Add an egg to the hole
Wait 2 - 3 minutes for part cooking to occur
Use a lifter and flip the egg
Wait 2 - 3 minutes and turn the heat down
Flip the egg and bread onto a plate
Season to taste

Alternatives :
I toast the bread slice for a minute or so
then do the centre cut. And then saute. This method cuts down on the butter needed

The bread that I use , as in this AM is 40 cal per slice and 3 g of fibre ( excellent stats ) flavour , well not so.

I add cheese pieces after the flip over - wait the 2 - 3 minutes and flip onto the cheese side. This step makes the concoction , slightly messy. But w/ a non stick pan , this isn't so bad

I added a drop of hot sauce to the egg as well.

I suppose that you now see an ' Egg McMuffin ' concept forming here. Home made and easy.
