French Toast Recipe...... copied from a blog

 

ohhhhhhhhhh... was surfing in Internet and thought about french toast and how make them.... so copy this from http://startcooking.com

French toast is one of those “Happy Foods” that bring a smile to everyone’s face. It’s that perfect weekend breakfast food that just makes you feel like you’re celebrating.

You probably have the basic ingredients — eggs, milk, sugar, butter, and bread - sitting in your kitchen right now. Add maple syrup and vanilla extract to your next shopping list and you’ll be ready to make French toast. (All sorts of different flavored extracts can be found near the spices/baking ingredients at the grocery store.)

Plain white bread is traditional, but you can also try using a braided bread (challah), croissants, whole-wheat and rye bread for French toast.

The following ingredients are needed to make French toast:

2/3 cup of whole milk

4 large eggs

2 Tablespoons of sugar

1 teaspoon of vanilla

¼ teaspoon of salt

Using a shallow bowl whisk them together (or blend together with a fork).

The egg mixture should look like this before you start dunking the bread.

Dunk each slice of bread into the egg mixture just before you add the bread to the fry pan.

Make sure both sides are fully covered.

This step could take a little practice. Leave it too long and the bread disintegrates; not long enough, the bread doesn’t get coated.

Melt 1 1/2 Tablespoons of butter in a fry pan over medium heat. Add however many slices of bread fit in the pan without squishing everything together.

Cook the bread until it is golden brown and then flip it, preferably with a spatula. Let the other side cook until golden brown as well.

Serve it immediately with a dusting of powdered sugar or maple syrup.

Enjoy!

En la Inaguración de una tienda de celulares / At a Mobil Phone Store Inaguration

El pasado 28 de Febrero de 2008 pasé un momento por la inaguración de una tienda de celulares de una amiga. Estuvo amena con bendición por un cura y todo, gente muy bonita y placentera todo con mucha clase, deseo que tengan mucho exito en esta nueva tienda y que todas sus espectativas se le cumplan. Hablando de la tienda es muy CHEVERE.. todos los nuevos jugueticos tecnológicos los veran en esa tienda, los Mp3 Camaras telefonos computadoras y todos en uno también o sea telefono, reproductor mp3 computadora camara etc. Decorada con altisimo estilo y clase es una tienda que merece verla e ir si puedes tambien comprar en ella.

On February 28th, 2008 at approximately 5 pm, I had the pleasure of attending an opening of a cellular store that is owned by one of my friends. There was a very nice blessing done by a Priest, and also attending were some of the communities upstanding citizens. I wish my friend all the success in the world on her new adventure and hope all her expectations are fulfilled. Now I would like to share a little about the store itself. To begin with I thought it was very modern and cool (Chevere as we say here). They carry all the new technological gadgets imaginable. They have Mp3 players, mobile camera phones, computers, and cameras. The store is very high end as seen so by its decor and style of the showroom. The store deserves to be seen by all, and hopefully you will have the opportunity to see and enjoy it sometime in the future.

Día fatal en la historia de Venezuela. No muchos le gusta esta fecha ya que significa una fecha de mucha angustia y desesperación, en la que un militar actualmente el "dirigente" del país, intentó un golpe de estado, el cual fracasó pero dejó muchas secuelas muerte y desolación.
