Book Log, Lacey Thomson

I am currently reading Quarantine by Lex Thomsas the setting of the book is inside McKinley High School.

 All the students are trapped in it under a military quarantine because of a virus that kills adults. Gangs start to develop inside the school, they get their food from drops from helicopters. 

David and Will are the main characters they're brothers that stayed together by themselves when everyone else were in gangs because they didnt fit into any of the gangs 

Recipe 

Preheat the oven to 450ºF / 232 ºC. Roll out your pizza dough (homemade or store bought). Cover with whatever toppings you prefer,  Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your preference. We cooked it until the egg whites were cooked, but the egg yolks were still runny

Ingredients

 • Olive oil
• Shredded cheddar cheese
• Cooked bacon
• Cooked hashbrowns
• 3 Eggs
• Freshly chopped chives
• Freshly ground black pepper

Ingredients 

For the glaze:
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 to 4 tablespoons whole milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the doughnut holes:
5 cups vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup milk
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 Tablespoons sugar
4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Equipment:Deep-fry thermometer; Small ice cream scoop

Instructions 

the glaze:Sift the confectioners' sugar into a medium bowl. Slowly stir in 3 tablespoons of milk and the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth. If the glaze isn't thin enough, stir in 1 additional tablespoon of milk. Cover the glaze with plastic wrap and set it aside while you make the doughnut holes.

doughnut holes:Add the vegetable oil to a large, heavy-bottomed pot. (There should be at least 2 inches of oil in the pot and at least 2 inches between the top of the oil and the top of the pot.) Attach the deep-fry thermometer to the pot and begin heating the oil over medium heat to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.

In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and the egg.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir the milk-egg mixture into the dry ingredients, then stir in the melted butter, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Once the oil has reached 350ºF, use a small ice cream scoop to drop about 1 tablespoon scoops of dough into the oil, careful not to overcrowd the pan. (See Kelly's Notes.) Fry the doughnut holes, flipping them in the oil, for about 2 minutes or until they're golden brown. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the doughnut holes to the paper towel-lined baking sheet.

Allow the doughnut holes to cool slightly. Place a cooling rack atop a baking sheet, then one by one, dip the doughnut holes into the glaze and transfer them to the rack to allow the excess glaze to drip off. Serve immediately.

INGREDIENTS

• 4 thick slices of slightly stale white bread (1"/2.5cm thick) (Note 1)
• 2 large eggs (or 3 small eggs)
• ¼ cup milk
• Pinch of salt
• ¼ cup white sugar
• ½ tsp cinnamon powder
• 3 tbsp butter, separated
• Maple syrup to serve

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cut the crust off the bread, then cut each piece into 9 equal cubes.
2. Whisk the eggs, milk and salt in a medium bowl.
3. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
4. Melt 1½ tbsp of butter in a fry pan over medium high heat. Don't let the butter brown.
5. Quickly toss half the bread cubes in the egg mixture and use your hands to shake off excess egg mixture. Place the bread cubes in the fry pan and use a wooden spoon to "sauté" them until browned on all sides - about 2 to 3 minutes.
6. Remove the bread cubes from the fry pan straight into the sugar mixture. Toss to coat, then remove onto a plate.
7. Repeat with remaining bread cubes.
8. Serve immediately, with maple syrup for dipping.

Ingredients:

8 (1-inch-thick) slices French bread
3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
4 large eggs
1/4 cup whole milk
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1/8 teaspoon fresh black pepper
3/4 cup mashed avocado
1 cup diced tomatoes

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and brush it on both cut sides of each slice of French bread. Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes, then flip them and bake an additional 3 to 5 minutes until toasted. Remove the bread from the oven and set it aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, chives and pepper.

Heat a medium nonstick sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of the butter to the pan, and once it has melted, pour in the eggs. Cook the eggs, stirring as needed, until they’re scrambled to your desired consistency.

Spread a portion of the mashed avocado on one side of each slice of toasted bread. Top the avocado with the scrambled eggs and garnish with the diced tomatoes.
