Good Old French Toast

Being all grown up means that you can have a granola bar for dinner and no one will give you THE LOOK or talk to you with THE VOICE. I actually miss home today--my mother's cooking, the healthy AND yummy food, and how easy mealtimes are: You wake up in the morning and there's food on the table. You do whatever you have to do, and when you're at home at the time, someone will just holler that lunch is ready. No matter how tired she is from teaching all day, my mother always cooks dinner herself. All we have to do is sit and eat. Well, except of course that after that my siblings volunteer ME to do the dishes. Haha. I don't mind, really.

They say I take after my mother, and that we share so many traits. (I once went to a wake where I met a lot of people my mother grew up with. They said I was a spitting image of her in her youth.) Well, at this point I don't feel like I am the superwoman that she is. I have been sick for two days, and whenever I am sick, I miss home. I have been pretty much on own since I was 17 and headed off to college. My mother bawled her eyes out during the first months, but she got used to me coming and going during schoolbreaks and holidays. I guess she was worried that I wasn't getting enough nutrition or that I was starving myself to death. True, there were weekends when I had chosen to use my allowance to buy my beloved books rather than to buy food (I feasted on my Ayn Rands and my Salingers with as much gusto as I would on a hearty meal.) but that was my choice. PLEASE DO NOT MENTION THIS TO MY MOTHER. SHE STILL DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS.

Tonight, I cooked broccoli in oyster sauce for dinner, but as I had no appetite at all, I put it in the fridge instead for tomorrow's consumption. I sliced apples and kiwi fruit to munch on instead

It's Saturday so I am making plans to have a nice breakfast tomorrow. I'm thinking of making french toast. I haven't done it before but as I always say, "How do you know unless you try?"

So, with a little research, this, more or less, is how french toast is made:

Ingredients: 2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
butter
sliced bread
Optional Powdered sugar and syrup (I plan to use honey)

Preparation:

1.) Use a fork to combine eggs and milk in a shallow bowl.
2.) Over medium heat, heat a pan coated with a little melted butter.
3.) Dip bread into the mixture. Let the bread soak it up a bit before removing. Do this on both sides of the bread. Using a fork, allow bread to drip over the bowl.
4.) Place a slice of bread in the pan. Turn slice over when bread slightly brown.
Repeat for all slices.
5.) Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve warm with syrup.

We single people who live on our own owe a lot the Internet. LOL

Will post how it goes. :-)
