Food Review Tuesday IV
On Tuesday night, it was my turn to produce something for dinner. Typically, this involves a quick trip over to Taco Bell, Burger King, or Tim Hortons. Instead, the urge hit me to make some french toast. We're not a big "breakfast for dinner" family, but we don't shy away from eating the occasional nighttime pancake. And though I've made french toast several times before, I wouldn't say it's my specialty. It's always edible, but I often feel that something is missing or not quite right.
Well, the french toast gods must have descended upon my house and bestowed on me a gift in the form of the ability to make some hella good french toast, because that's exactly what I did. It was not only the best I've ever made, but probably the best I've ever eaten. It looked pretty nice as well, so I wish I had thought to take a picture. Had I known before I started eating that it would have been like eating bite-sized pieces of happiness, I would have taken the time to get my camera. In fact, I would have gotten my video camera. Then anytime I'm feeling down, I'd watch the video and relive that night when I made and ate the perfect french toast, and it would make me feel better.

Even the best homemade french toast does not explain why a person who HAS THE OPTION of going to Tim Horton's would pass up on a reason to go to Tim Horton's.
Just sayin'.

but if you had it on video, wouldn't that just make you crave it even more? and then what would you do if you couldn't produce? that'd be a blow for the ego.
the very best of things live on without proof in storytelling legend.

cadiz's comment made me tear up a bit.
I was going to ask about the production procedure, but now I think I'll just imagine it.

If you'd recorded it you'd just drool everywhere whenever you watched it...
Would love it if you shared your recipe? Do you use vanilla? What kind of bread? Milk or water?
Rhonda said:
Yes, please do share. Maybe I can use your technique to impress the hubby. His FT is hard to beat.

The secret is to have the french toast gods descend upon your residence.
Rhonda said:
LAME! Here it is Saturday morning and I came back looking for "The Secret."
Guess I'll have to stick to the way we do here in Texas...with Texas toast, baby!
marie/y said:
I have to agree with Rhonda on this one: LAME! Try again!

What's Tom Horton?
Syar said:
Yes, but how do you get the French Toast Gods to descend upon your residence? What is required? Chanting, sacrifices, rituals? Dude, you can't hold out on us like this!

I prefer to call mine "FREEDOM" Toast.
I never took you for a traitorous cooker of breakfast foods before, Omar.
Lia said:
Yum. I want French Toast.
If you had taken a picture, it wouldn't have tasted as good. Lack of proof is the price the French toast gods make you pay for good food.

I love it when that urge to make some delicious food hits me. Unfortunately, it leaves rather quickly when I open my fridge and find it completely lacking in pre-measured glass bowls of all the ingredients I need.
