Toast, Frenched

Woke up, entertained the tots while making some nice breakfast, then got them wrapped up and strapped into the double stroller for a nice cold journey to the East River. Betsy & Edie were a little feverish, so I stayed in for the rest of the day.


TODAY'S COOKING
French Toast: 2 cups of whole milk, 4 eggs, 2oz vanilla sugar, big pinches of cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Splash of vanilla extract. Clarified a stick of butter for frying. Cut last night's challah into 1" pieces. Fried on low heat to get a nice golden color and firm the centers.

AM SNACK: 7:45am, iced green tea

BREAKFAST: 8:45am, french toast, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
Edie wasn't sure what to make of the french toast, wanted pancakes. :( I cut her small piece into quarters and she hesitantly nibbled a piece. She looked at me with the sweetest, questioning, innocent look, then looked away at the TV and took another bite. "So, Edie, did you like it?" Pause. "Yeah." I looooove her soooo much!

LUNCH: 12:45pm, 2 hotdogs with caramelized onions & mustard, pickles, 7oz ginger ale, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
I intended to have 1 hotdog and baby spinach salad, but after dressing the last of the spinach with carrots dressing, the first bite revealed that the dressing started to turn. So I threw it out, and said, hey, it's a Tom Cruisian weekend, shouldn't beat myself up.

PM SNACK: 3pm, 2 chocolate pudding ramekins with whipped cream, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5


DINNER: 7:45pm, baby carrots with a little ranch dressing, Singapore noodles, roti canai, water, a few alphabet cookies, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5


EVENING SNACK: 10pm, a few whole wheat pretzel sticks, a piece of dried sausage, .25 bowl, hunger 4/5
