My kids think I’m a goddess…

16 Comments Published by Deanna Hoak March 31st, 2006 in food

Blaine had a friend sleep over last night, so I made the kids a special treat for breakfast. I whipped some eggs together with turbinado sugar (for crunch), cinnamon, half-and-half, and vanilla, then took same stale French bread, sliced on a long diagonal, and soaked the pieces in the mixture until they were soft. Fried them nicely brown, then sprinkled them with powdered sugar and drizzled grade A dark amber maple syrup all over them.

Yeah, baby, that is French toast.

Never mind your kids, I think you’re a goddess for making that for your kids. :-)

The subject line reminds me of a card I got for one of my friends for her birthday. It has two old ladies on the front, and the text is:

“My pool boy says I’m hot.”
“That pool boy is correct. You are hot.”

The inside of the card says, “We’ll always be good for each other. Happy birthday.”

So I read the subject line and pictured the old ladies: “Those kids are correct. You are a goddess.”

Can *I* sleep over if it means getting your French toast in the morning? Or the night before? Or whenever? :)

Can you make French-Canadian toast? (It’s the same as French toast, but the egg keeps trying to separate.)

Yum. I think I’m gonna make some of that with the semi-stale bread in the freezer.
