How do you like your French Toast?

This will be the biggest question of the year.I like it just with salt & pepper.My daughter likes it American style with ice cream & maple syrup.Any other ideas?

What's the specialist telling you to eat?I've never had a weight problem.Just lucky I guess.But 10 lbs in a month seems a pretty good achievement to me.Good onya Doobs!

dr doo: I tried to lose weight for my daughter's wedding. My goal was ten pounds. I was soooo careful for eleven months. At that time, I had only lost 8 pounds!!!! Arghhh. I went to the doctor and he felt so sorry for me he gave me a diet pill. By the time of the wedding, I had lost 10 1/2 pounds.
I have heard that losing weight is more difficult for a woman a I sure do believe it.
Congratulations to you.

French Toast is just a memory for me and so I will hang around and read all of the delicious answers. I used to like it with butter, icing sugar and cinnamon.

I make it on occasion, I like it on Vienna bread. I put eggs, milk and a little vanilla in the blender and make it fluffy and then dip the bread in and then bake it... Sprinkle some powdered sugar and maple syrup. I learned this when I was in the boy scouts and they gave me kitchen duty for two weeks at camp because my parents was in the restaurant biz so they thought i belonged in the kitchen.. Blah!! Kitchen duty means I had to go to bed earlier than everyone else and wake up at 3:30 AM and get to th mess hall and begin cooking, then lunch, then dinner/supper.. I never got to do any of the cool things everyone else did.

Well it serves you right.Being Italian AND having folks in the BIZ who else were they gunna give the cooking to.LOL.The vanilla ingredient & the baking part make it sound interseting tho.At least you learned something.

Don, I'm curious, why did you give me a thumbs down on this?? I can't figure out what I said that would offend you to do this??

I think it was an accident too, as his reply to your post was quite cordial. :)

commented 12 years ago

Vinny

Yeah, i think it was an accident, I don't think I have ever done that but I can see how it could be a mistake.

commented 12 years ago

Dardaigh

Don, isn't it possible to just go to the TD and switch it to TU?

commented 12 years ago

jhharlan

Relieved to hear it.....

commented 12 years ago

Vinny

HA!! Don. you don't have to 'make it up to me'-- I'll just TD you later.. LOLOLOL!! j/k.. After i read it s'more and thought about it, I realized it was a mistake. It shows one thing though, when there's a TD, it really get's people's attention. I think aka should get rid of it or at least, move the TD button away from the TU button.

commented 12 years ago

jhharlan

You're right, a simple move would solve a lot of problems and wouldn't be that hard to do. Great idea (like your toast)....

commented 12 years ago

When giving a TD, it even prompts you with "are you sure?". We all have 2 chances to do it right! :)

Using nutmeg will make your kitchen smell like a bakery. Oh, Ann ...Rice Pudding! I haven't had that since I was a kid. So good.

Not a huge fan of rice pudding but egg custard with nutmeg, now that's the stuff!!

First I toast the bread lightly (usually white bread, but whatever you like)
The lightly toasted bread is dredged in a mixture of milk, egg, and cinnamon.
I fry the bread in butter, letting each side get a little crusty.
While the second side is frying, I put butter pats on top of the bread, so the butter melts while the bread is cooking. It makes a "puddle".
Being careful not to spill out the butter puddle when I take the toast from the pan, I then sprinkle in confectioner's (powdered) sugar, letting it soak into the butter. It's like frosting.
Sometimes I'll put on a little pure maple syrup, but not too often. The sugar makes it so sweet.
When I am being health-conscious, and the way my children got it served to them, I'll put on sliced bananas and berries, and a spoonful of yogurt. Skip the butter puddle.

Edit: I do add a little vanilla and nutmeg along with the cinnamon. Oops
