Since it snowed today, and tonight felt like a "cocoon night," I decided to make French toast. I tend to like French toast (this shouldn't surprise most of you), and I had most of a challah set aside which would work very well.

Originally I was going to use the standard family recipe, which is pretty simple, but I decided to pull out the Best Recipe cookbook (which

folkmew refers to as "Getting Fat and Loving It" - speaking of which, MEW, you might be interested in this), and see if they had a French toast recipe. They did, of course. A bit more involved than the usual, but I decided to try it.

And, well... wow. What a difference. I usually drench my French toast in maple syrup, but this version really didn't need it. Definitely worth the extra bit of fuss, but I might be a bit spoiled for other versions now.

(In the meantime it's somehow gotten late again, I'll have to finish catching up on mail and posts tomorrow.)

AH! Thanks for the tip. Clearly as soon as we have some money again we'll have to pick up "NOT getting far, and still loving it!" (grin)

(and - hmmm... I'll have to try their french toast recipe, I love french toast. We just made the amazing yellow cupcakes with chocolate frosting and my comment to Ed was "this - this tastes as good as thin feels!" ;-)

BTW - can I have the recipe for those amazing cookies you gave me? In theory (as in 'one of these days') I want to put together a fundraiser cookbook for Interfilk and I've been SLOWLY collecting recipes from various people and those were AWESOME! yum. Good thing you only gave me one!

Glad I made the right decision! I was tempted to bring you a few but didn't want to be too much of a bad influence. As for the recipe, it's their "Thick and Chewy Double-Chocolate Cookie"; I got it from Baking Illustrated, but I just checked and it's in Best Recipe also. Page 777. Bwah ha ha ha! (Just cite the source if you use it, of course.) :-)
