French Toast & Raspberries for Dinner
April 1, 2009
Sharon gave me the idea of French toast for dinner — she made it for her family earlier this week. I followed her tip of adding a splash of vanilla extract to the eggs, milk, and sugar mixture that soaked into the whole wheat bread. The boys were predisposed to liking this meal: they adore Sharon and they knew her girls had enjoyed their French toast dinner. So if “their” Sharon had made this meal, it must be good! Plus, to G., this meal looked like Man in the Moon but without those pesky eggs in the middle of the fried bread.
Overall it was a success. G. ate two full pieces, oohing and ahhing about how delicious it was the whole time. (And he also said Sharon should make it for him again. I guess he was a little confused!) A. tried it and said he liked it, but then didn’t eat much more. However, he did try the raspberries which he really enjoyed. I told him that J. and I love raspberries, and that Daddy had eaten a whole container the night before. Shocked, he insisted that I should “buy some more and hide them!” And then he told me to write “x 100″ when I wrote “raspberries” on the shopping list I keep on my fridge.

Your boys are very funny!:) (btw, Did you put syrup on too?)
I meant to put out syrup but forgot — A. is the only one that eats it, anyway. We are still using the bottle you brought us! — Dara

Awww, I am feeling all warm and fuzzy after reading your post, Dara! I am glad that the meal was a success – and for the record, I’d make it for G any time! Raspberries were a great idea – I will be adding them to my plate the next time I make French Toast!
PS: thanks, Merrie — you are so sweet! xo S
