Marg, this idea came from a restaurant while on a trip to Las Vegas a few years back. Have made it many times!

Always great reading recommendations. French toast is a fav. I also at times like to mix crushed corn flakes and oats together and dip the battered bread into that mix giving is a flavorful crust. Cast iron skillet is my preference just like my mom did. Thanks Marg!

What a great idea to send you three books we like and you’ll send us recommendations. I’ll have to give it some thought.

My reading of late has been memoir-centric—from a true life story of a woman living with and succeeding despite her diagnosis of schizophrenia (The Center Cannot Hold by Elyn R. Saks) to another true life tale of a gay Chinese American kid growing up in 1980s Detroit, (Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant, by Curtis Chin).

I’ll be needing a fiction break next (Elyn’s story is harrowing), so thanks as always for the recommendations, Marg—and also the yummy-looking picture of your French toast feast with your daughters! I make mine with challah, but brioche or any pillowy white bread works well. Topping it with whipped cream and fruit—well that’s nirvana!
