We are Jack &amp; Eveline. We love toasties, toasted sandwiches, paninis, jaffles, waffles, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also love to experiment. Hence, the Toastie Lab. Join us as we discover what is, and is not, possible in the world of toasted sandwiches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:left\"><strong>Because when you got things between bread in your head, you have to toast them&#8230; <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>About Jack<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toastielab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/TL-About-Us-Jack-Resize-Large.jpg?resize=640%2C426&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toastielab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/TL-About-Us-Jack-Resize-Large.jpg?w=950&amp;ssl=1 950w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toastielab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/TL-About-Us-Jack-Resize-Large.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toastielab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/TL-About-Us-Jack-Resize-Large.jpg?resize=768%2C511&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>Salt-N-Pepper Hair&#8230; George Clooney, Eat Your Heart Out!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>From<\/strong>: Born in New York, USA. While I currently live in The Netherlands, I still consider New York my home. Ireland is a second home in my heart, as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Travel Experience<\/strong>: I have lived in 8 different countries for extended periods. They include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The USA<\/li><li>Ireland<\/li><li>South Korea<\/li><li>Australia<\/li><li>Mexico<\/li><li>Guatemala<\/li><li>Peru<\/li><li>The Netherlands.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I have visited 27 countries in total, and all of this travel experience provides me with some unique inspirations for toastie experiments. I can\u2019t wait to try them out.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Most Amazing Travel Experience<\/strong>: I feel very privileged to have made a 12-day expedition to <em>Antarctica<\/em>! It was a once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget. The best highlight among all of the highlights was sea-kayaking around icebergs while Gentoo penguins were jumping out of the water around me. Totally surreal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toastielab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/TL-About-Us-Antarctica-Resize-Large.jpg?resize=640%2C427&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toastielab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/TL-About-Us-Antarctica-Resize-Large.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toastielab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/TL-About-Us-Antarctica-Resize-Large.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toastielab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/TL-About-Us-Antarctica-Resize-Large.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>Best Picture I Have Ever Taken&#8230; For Now!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Favorite Toastie<\/strong>: This changes often. For now, I have a strong liking for any toasted sandwich made with <em>kimchi<\/em>, a fermented vegetable dish that I ate daily while living in South Korea.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, my favorite toastie that we have created so far is, without-a-doubt, the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Blue Cheese, Date and Walnut-Pesto (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/toastielab.com\/blue-cheese-date-walnut-pesto-toastie-recipe\/\" target=\"_blank\">Blue Cheese, Date and Walnut-Pesto<\/a> Toastie. It was soooo good! Click the link to see the recipe, pictures, and video for yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Favorite Food<\/strong>: <em>Beans!<\/em> Not your typical choice, but they are just soooooo delicious. All of them, every one! Needless to say, there will bean no shortage of bean-inspired toasties coming your way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Favorite Book<\/strong>: Again, ask me in a week and this might change. At the moment, I would choose the following:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Non-Fiction Book<\/strong>: <em>Busy<\/em> by Tony Crabbe &#8211; I found it transformative.<\/li><li><strong>Fiction Book<\/strong>: <em>Ready Player One<\/em> by Ernest Cline &#8211; A total page-turner.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Favorite Color<\/strong>: Purple! Is there any other choice?\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Favorite Sport<\/strong>: Baseball<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Favorite Baseball Team<\/strong>: My Fantasy Baseball Team, obviously. The New York Yankees are a close second. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hobbies and Interests<\/strong>: They are many:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Food<\/strong> &#8211; Toasted sandwiches are, of course, a personal favorite.<\/li><li><strong>Fitness<\/strong> &#8211; I have lost 110 lbs.

Hand-knitted alpaca woolen products, in the smashing colors that are so well known in the Andes. And of course, with a very good salary for the women that knit them and only sustainably sourced wool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Take a look at<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yanantin-alpaca.com\">www.yanantin-alpaca.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toastielab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/TL-About-Us-Scarves-RESIZE-950.jpg?resize=640%2C426&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-815\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toastielab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/TL-About-Us-Scarves-RESIZE-950.jpg?w=950&amp;ssl=1 950w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toastielab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/TL-About-Us-Scarves-RESIZE-950.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toastielab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/TL-About-Us-Scarves-RESIZE-950.jpg?resize=768%2C511&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"348\" height=\"329\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toastielab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/TL-About-Us-Yanantin-RESIZE.jpg?resize=348%2C329&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-807\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toastielab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/TL-About-Us-Yanantin-RESIZE.jpg?w=348&amp;ssl=1 348w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toastielab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/TL-About-Us-Yanantin-RESIZE.jpg?resize=300%2C284&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 348px) 100vw, 348px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi!
