I absolutely had to go out to a "breakfast-all-day" outlet for lunch today., After reading about french toast for the last few days, I absolutely had to have some, right away!

I'm not revelaing the name of the chain restaurant that I patronized (it's embarrassing!), but I had to settle for thick dense slabs of egg-soaked "Texas toast" instead of nice airy French bread, and the phony syrup was definitely NOT 100% pure maple. The butter was undoubtedly fake, too, although at least there was plenty of it.

Less than totally satisfying, for sure, but better than nothing. Now I can hold out for a few days, and not order (nor try to make) French toast until a time and place where I know it'll be really good.
