    Thanks Don.But I guess it would get a bit dried out in the mail.:)
    Tommyh

    Man! I would love to visit Georgia.For many reasons other than French toast & B.B.Q.s.I never got there when I visited the U.S. & I have always regretted it.Maybe someday.

    I wasn't trying to lose the weight- so I do need to see the doctor.

    With lots of pure maple syrup- hold the butter!  Yumm now I'm hungry- which is a good thing since I lost 10 lbs this month (Time to try different specialists don't ya think)

    Tommyh

    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.


    Le' Sigh.

    Tommyh

    Sounds yummy fishy.I will be trying that one.
    lambshank

    poor fishy, you must miss some of this stuff
    FISH-O

    Oh well, Lambie... it could be much worse. :)

    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.  

    Tommyh

    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.
    Vinny

    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??
    jhharlan

    Don gave you a TD? Nooooooo! I thought he was better than that. I'd TU you up twice if I could....jhh
    Vinny

    I think it was a mistake. :(
    jhharlan

    I hope so. Would hate having something to hold against him......I liked you answer....
    Tommyh

    I'm gunna make a rule..NO TDs on MY Questions!!
    I think it must have been accidental.:)
    Dardaigh

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

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

    Relieved to hear it.....
    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.
    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)....

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

    Nutmeg in the egg and milk mix and butter and maple syrup. 

    Ann

    This is how I like to make mine.I like lots of cinnamon.
    Colleen

    I will use cinnamon sometimes but mostly I prefer the nutmeg. :)
    Ann

    I like nutmeg. I have to try that sometime. I love nutmeg on rice pudding.
    itsmee

    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.
    Colleen

    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

    ROMOS

    OK, but no cinnamon please.
    I'll be round shortly.
    jhharlan

    I like cinnamon but not on purpose.......
    Tommyh

    Nice recipe Bob.
    Bob/PKB

    OK, no cinnamon, but ROMOS and Julie, you'd best get over here before I eat it all myself.
    Vinny

    No, maybe there's a glitch (?) Don't worry about it don.. I was just curious and I know it was a mistake. :)

    Vinny, I don't understand what you're calling a mistake.
    Vinny

    Colleen---> OOPS! I wanted this in my reply but it ended up here instead. In regards to a TD I received from Don, it was a mistake. He punched the wrong button and i posted in the wrong reply.. It's all good, to err is human. :)

    OK, all is well :)

    I like it with just melted butter. Hm...sounds like an idea for tomorrow's breakfast! I haven't had french toast in awhile.

    Tommyh

    Glad I reminded you.:) I always fry it in butter.

    My mom would make it and serve it on our plates. We would then smear it with jelly and roll it up "jelly roll" style and eat it......I never heard of putting syrup on it until adulthood.......

    Tommyh

    The jelly idea sounds good.i'll be trying it.
    jhharlan

    Smear butter on it, too so that it drips just right.....

    I make mine with milk ,egg, cinammon, a little vanilla. Fry it -put butter on top and brown sugar! Some ham or bacon or sausage on the side!

    clu

    Maybe I'll try nutmeg next time! Sounds good!
    Bob/PKB

    Yes, vanilla. I forgot, that is a good addition.
    lindilou

    I forgot about the meats...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

    With strawberries on top!

    I put a couple shots of orange juice, a few drops of vanilla, some orange peel zest,and a pinch of Saigon Cinnamon into the egg mixture...sliced at an angle French Baggettes or (stale) French bread loaf...saturate in egg mixture and fry in butter on medium heat...slowly and patiently so as to cook the egg through the bread....a side bowl of strawberries and slices of oranges....sprinkle of icing or confectioners sugar...served with maple syrup (the real stuff) and !voila!...heart attack on a plate!! Yum!  ;)

    lambshank

    sounds like breakfast tomorrow, think I would really like that
    Bob/PKB

    I'm there.

    I've always just had it with salt and pepper and maybe bacon, but some of the sweet versions sound great, I absolutely love maple syrup......even on porridge (oatmeal to some)

    Bob/PKB

    I've never heard of salt and pepper! Just shows how varied we are from place to place and how we grew up. :D
    clu

    I also have never heard of salt and pepper! It was always a sweet breakfast!
    lambshank

    I grew up with the savory version, but the others sound really nice and I'm about to try one, 0700 here and I'm hungry!!
    Bob/PKB

    2:15 Friday afternoon here and I'm hungry, too!
    Tommyh

    Breakfast???
    I've had it for dinner more times than I could count.

    Yummmm! 


    I like it with syrup.


    I like it with jam.


    I like it with butter.


    And a thin slice of ram.


    Tommy, I would write a longer poem, but every new line double spaces. I had  too much breakfast pastry today and I'm feeling frumpy. 

    Bob/PKB

    If you press the shift button at the same time you press "enter", it should single space.
    Bob/PKB

    The lines in itsmee's answer
    Tommyh

    Frumpy? You Itsmee?? Never!!
    itsmee

    Where I live, a slice of ram is quite common with french toast.
    itsmee

    Tommy, It's good to have someone on your side. : ) (or wherever)
    itsmee

    press the shift
    when you press enter
    If you do this,
    it will be better!
    Thank you, Bob/PKB
    Bob/PKB

    A piece of ram? Do you mean Ham or do you mean ram (as in lamb/sheep/ewe?)

    With strawberry jam and whiped cream.

    pikkutiikeri65

    you can say so.

    I just like mine with a sprinkle of plain ole white sugar on top...nothing else.


    I'm also averse to cinnamon...I find the flavour much too overpowering. I will not eat apple pie (tart) that has cinnamon in it.

    jhharlan

    I won't eat the apple tart period, I have an aversion to cooked apples......
    Tommyh

    Wow Julie.That's Unaamerican ain't it?? I thought all yo guys ate it just on principal.
    Now don't git offended by the UnAmerican dig.It was just a joke.:)
    jhharlan

    I'm not offended. I like the juice, just can't handle the texture. I'm a texture eater.....

    ""Served by Maryse, French-Canadian!

    lambshank

    I'd rather have the maple syrup myself :)
    Tommyh

    At my age I think I would enjoy the maple syrup more too.LOL

    Butter and real Maple syrup.

    in my belly, that's how I like mine, and she can serve them, no problem! 

    French toast ! Hmmm ? don't know what I'll eat first? I think I'll go back to bed!
