hey any lurkers have good recipes for french toast
I don't know if there's a cooking thread anymore.
yes:
* 8 slices stale French bread (cut on bias, about 1-1/4 inches thick)
* 1 cup half-and-half or whole milk
* 4 large eggs, well-beaten
* 1/4 cup sugar or simple syrup
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* A few gratings of fresh nutmeg, to taste
* 4 tablespoons butter
* 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
* 2 teaspoons powdered sugar, mixed with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
In a large bowl combine the half-and-half or milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla and nutmeg and mix thoroughly. Soak the slices of stale French bread in the custard mixture until they're thorougly soaked.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a heavy skillet and add the oil. When the butter and oil mixture is very hot, fry the soaked bread slices one or two at a time on each side, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and hold in a warm oven until all the slices are cooked.
To serve, Sprinkle with cinnamon and powdered sugar mixture just before serving. Serve with Louisiana cane syrup, a strongly-flavored honey or any good syrup of your choice (real maple or fruit syrups are lovely too, but avoid that artificially-flavored pancake syrup).
ever since i started making pain perdu, i can't seem to use regular bread anymore. enjoy!
ohhh i never knew it had a special name. that's just how i learned to make french toast
i wonder if i could just get stale bread for free from some bakery. i'm poor and don't like spending money, but i have pretty much everything else i need...

I was once a lurker. I don't think I qualify any more though.
I think I had less than 2000 posts total in my first three years.
In 2005 I started posting more, but then moved to Flying Stove by 2006 and stayed there for a couple years.
I snuck back in quietly in 2008, and then, after PAX, I was faced with a choice: withdraw once more from view and fade again, or kick off an LP that would keep me engaged in the community.

That probably took a while. I hear it's very small.
Penile pointillism, really. It's an art form.
:claps:
Tastes atrocious, but damn. It brings the thunder.
I'm not sure,
but I do know you're doing it wrong.

Don't do anything to the bread. Just watch it.

I chose... wisely.
Then I realised that was not meta, just stupid.
