She soaked the bread in eggs, milk, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon mixture and put the bread into a muffin pan so that they made a little cup (you cut a slit in the bread and it forms a cup when put in the muffin hole). Baked them and then filled them with fruit and topped with maple syrup and bacon pieces. Looked really good. I am going to try that this year!

French toast sm
I always made my own either with Texas toast or regular, but I happened upon some Murray's French Toast sticks at Wal-Mart one Mother's Day and bought it just because there was a time frame debate and used it in a pinch since it was already made, etc. It went over better than my own and saved me a big mess and have used these sticks from then on, just pop them in a flat pan and then when they go, open another box and pop them in the oven when I see the dish getting empty. Just a thought. Several different kinds of juice available always helps as well, of course. Sounds like fun! Bacon is another big hit, even though it's not healthy, the guys really go for it and you can make it ahead. Time is the only problem, with people arriving at different times, some things have to be precooked.
Baked French Toast
I made this Thanksgiving weekend for breakfast. You start it the night before so it can sit overnight in the fridge. It is so simple and quick, and is absolutely delicious! Everyone loved it!
Note: I sprinkled cinnamon on the top just before baking. Can't have French Toast without cinnamon!
BAKED FRENCH TOAST
Ingredients:
8 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
8 slices of 3/4 inch thick Italian bread, cut in half.
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Directions:
Mix eggs, milk, brown sugar and vanilla. Pour half of the mixture in the bottom of a 13 X 9 pan. Lay the bread out in the pay and pour the rest of the mixture on top. Flip the bread over so that it's all coated. Cover and let sit in the fridge overnight.
Melt butter in a second 13 x 9 inch pan. Stir the brown sugar and maple syrup into the butter. Move your soaked bread into the pan with the butter mixture. Cook at 350 for 30-45 minutes, depending on desired brownness.

French toast using texas test bar-b-que bread. Yummy. Potato casserole is sm
the best, too!
southern style potatoes frozen (ore-ida)
1 can cream of chicken soap
8 ounces sour cream
1 stick butter
1 package mild cheddar cheest
mix all ingredients and bake for 45 minutes
Then if you want to add a meat such as ham or bacon you can do that.
One of the cutest I made...sm
My kids are too old now but I use to make all their costumes and usually tried to match the up even though they are 5 years apart. My favorite was a scarecrow and a crow. Scarecrow costume is fairly easy with overalls, straw hat and rafia (My daughter, older) and my son was the crow, using a long sleeve black leotard and orange tights (had to dye some), sewed full head gear (including beak) and tail, feet to cover top of shoes out of felt. They won their school contest that year.
Aren't those puppies the cutest!
I have a female Siberian husky who is the absolutely sweetest dog I have ever had. I'm sorry for your loss.
I don't know about unusual, but I have the cutest dog that ever lived! SM

I second the K-cups!
I have the regular size Keurig at home and the mini-Keurig at work in my office. I've tried quite a few of their coffees and find I like the Caribou the best so far. I also have the adaptor and use my Seattle's Best Henry's Blend when I run out of the K-cups.
Coffee cups. nm

NO WAY!!!! Not that old two cups outta SM
one bag deal! LOL!!! Meant to say I add honey, not lemon. I was tired when I wrote that. I have off today and am just about to put the water on and crack the eggs! Have a great day! 
I love my K cups. Makes the best sm
coffee ever. It might seem expensive but you do not waste any coffee, because it is one cup at a time. I have made pots of coffee that just does not taste good and threw them out, or have made one pot for 2 people. It equals out to be 50 cents a cup.
Rachel Ray is worse
Get the woman a muzzle and some valium. Good grief her voice goes through me like chalk on a chalkboard.
Anyway cook using Rachel Ray's recipes? sm
I'm always looking to try something different and her 30 minute meals sure look tasty and easy.
Why do things like granola bars, yogurt cups, - sm
candy bars, jello & pudding cups, etc. keep getting smaller and smaller? And the amount of cereal in a box is less and less. Yet the packaging stays the same size?
Do they think we don't notice?
Don't care for Paula Dean or Rachel Ray.
I don't like the heavy type of food that Paula Dean cooks. And forgive me, but I find her voice and accent grating on my nerves. I much prefer Giada DeLaurentis. It's nice that the Food Network has such variety. There's something for everyone.
Rachel Ray also drives me nuts with her voice.
I like the woman who does Barefoot Contessa, calm and relaxed with a soothing way about her.
Epicurious.com, Rachel Ray, Martha Stewart, etc. sm
Google away, I will look up some recipes but sometimes the latest are good also and "tested," I have tried some oldies which did not turn out well, be sure they are "tested" first. Get back to you if I can find some I pre-tested. Good idea, love home baked or home made items, shows you care!
A toast from me too.
Never heard of doing this, will have to try, always so informative you are!
Anything that isn't premade or toast
I don't cook. 
I agree. Both of them. Talk about class but I must say Rachel is pulling in the bucks with her
shows. I love watching Paula put butter on all her foods and STUFFING it in her mouth.
buttered toast dipped in ketchup :)

Scrapple and eggs, hashbrowns, muffins, bagels and toast.
Yum!
.the French do it your described way
making you not nazi-like *l*......french really do it the way you described.....in France.
por favor is *if you please* in FRENCH......
ROFL
French Press..
I have never personally had one, but a physician I worked for did and he would grind his own beans every morning and make his own coffee in it, rather than just the regular stuff we drank. I believe I tasted it once and it was very good, stronger than the regular coffee but of course that may depend on the type of beans you grind, etc. He was a coffee-fanitic!
french press
Love mine! I started with a glass one but then found a thermal one which will keep the coffee hot longer.
RVSP is French for
Respond if you please (respondevous si vou ple)not positive of my spelling here)!
That doesn't mean 'respond if it pleases you' it means kindly respond either way.
As to the rudeness, it could possibly be ignorance/indifference - each generation seems to be less well-mannered.
Has anyone used a French press coffee maker? sm
if so, did you like it or dislike it? Thanks!
I doubt this explanation....roux is french
Roux in French means to cook equal amounts of butter/flour together to make/thicken sauces.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roux
However, medically speaking here's a descript. of what name means/comes from:
The name (Roux-en-Y) comes from the restructuring of the small intestine to form a Y-shaped structure. One arm of the Y carries digestive juices and the other carries food. The two arms come together farther down the intestine where digested food can be absorbed.

...coffees, though, like hazelnut or French vanilla. nm

French fries and vanilla ice cream! nm

Oh, oh I know the answer to the French fries questions, because....
They way the potatoes are sliced/cut is a french technique (julienne).
Adam is all over the internet with his own French kissing but
not with a member of the opposite sex. Oh-la-la
I thought "s'il vous plait" was if you please in French.

I've been told I have bats in my attic...and that I'm a french fry short of a happy meal, too!
I just got this new Dog yesterday
I just got this new Dog yesterday. She is so cute and good but is not trained yet. How do I get the dog to go to the door to let me know she needs to go potty? She is a sweet and very mild girl, gets along well with the cats and hardly barks. We only had two minor accidents yesterday. I could really use some tips. Thanks in advance.
Just yesterday my mom
and I were discussing dryer troubles. Her quit working, she had a repair man take a look at it. He vaccumed out all the lint and it cost her $150.00. Then 3 weeks later, it quit working again. Next time I will tell her to call you.
Went to the ER yesterday and they
said it was probably just a viral infection. She is just in the bed sleeping on and off. She don't want to play or do anything else. She don't have an appetite. She has been drinking pretty good though. Popsicles is a good idea also. I'll try that also. Again, thanks so much for the advice. It is definitely appreciated.
-43 yesterday in ND nm

You should have been here yesterday
I live probably what is considered North Georgia but 19 miles south of Atlanta. The living is good where I am and the weather, about 60 yesterday and supposedly the same today. Our winters here usually mild, this year we have gotten down to the teens once or twice but nothing you probably see all the time. I wish we did not have tornados warnings here, scared of those. The weather in the summer can be HOT and humid normally. I would much rather have this than what I see with all that snow and ice. I only remember 2 times since the 80s of what you might term blizzard or icy conditions and even those gone in a few days.
yesterday's
performances, I would rather say that Danny will be voted off. Chris was really good last night and Adam will be the winner, he is just in another league.
Scheduled yesterday but....
I was also out of work, no big problem with me. I am talking about being looked at as professional, not cleaning, cooking, taking care of babies, on and on when you do have work. Posts are written about how to fit other things in while they work?? I think most of us from time to time run out of work, myself included.
Ballet - we went yesterday and...sm
she loves it, of course! They close the door and you don't get to watch, but you can hear them singing. I guess they'll start learning steps for their recital in June now. Dh is having a fit over what the costume "might cost." I just read the letter when I got home about paying the rest of the costume (gave deposit of $55). The cost for the class is $54 every six weeks. Does that seem good? Does anyone know what the costume could cost? I'll probably just call the teacher and ask, but why not state it in the letter? Is it something they don't even know yet? I'm very new to this ballet stuff so not sure.
I saw a little doggie yesterday in a car
as I pulled up to get out and looked and would have called the police, alone in the vehicle at a flea market but what saved the owner was they had the window down. The weather here was in the high 50s and climbing but I would not hesitate if the windows had been up.
It has been on MSNBC since yesterday.
I'm on the West coast and just heard about it last night.
It was clearly an accident and now she has a criminal record over it.
Yesterday I was at the mall and a
guy was walking along talking to a young girl. He rounded the corner and I was coming toward them. He stopped his conversation with her and said loudly to me,
You're pretty . . then went back to his conversation with her! LOL! She did not seem upset at all. Her brother? a friend?
Question. . jerk or just a darn nice guy? LOL
She was also on Oprah yesterday
singing with Kelly Clarkson and Justin Limberlake, promoting her Duets with Rebba, I think that is what it is called, album. Think I will buy it. She is great. Also loved the sitcom, especially her with her ex and Barbara Jean. Very funny.
Someone already posted this yesterday
NM
we had flurries yesterday....
none today...I am not excited about winter even though it is a beautiful season. I just hate below 0 weather and scraping ice off of my car.
3.14-3.16 a gallon yesterday x
