The Lazy Cook

I think it's called "serendipity" when disparate ideas come together to produce a novel thought.  There was an article in last weekend's paper about open sandwiches (or "tartines" as the paper would have it) and then a few pages further on, an advertisement for holidays in Amsterdam.  And out of nowhere into my head popped the word Uitsmijter (pronounced sort of "outs-my-ter) which was our staple fare when a couple of the lads and I went to Amsterdam on a weekend pass from RAF Goch back in 1957 I think it must have been.  It's just a chunky slice of bread with a slice of cheese and a slice of ham on top and then a fried egg on top of that.  Simple but delicious. I just had to make myself one.
