French Toast Bake

Karen, a beautiful woman up in the wilds of Nebraska, posted a recipe a few days ago on her blog Condiment Kitchen. The recipe is for Blueberry French Toast Bake. I was thinking of making it this past weekend but got lazy and didn't do it. I'm hoping to be a little more motivated this weekend.

In any case, here's the recipe and let me know what you think if you try it out before I do!

BLUEBERRY FRENCH TOAST BAKE
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1-1/2 cups whole milk
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 6 eggs
  • 10 slices french bread, cut into 1" cubes
  • 3 oz. pkg. cream cheese, diced
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Preparation:
Generously grease 13x9" glass baking dish. Beat flour, milk, 2 Tbsp. sugar, vanilla and eggs in large bowl until smooth. Stir in bread cubes until well coated, then pour bread mixture into prepared pan.

Top evenly with cream cheese cubes and blueberries. In small bowl, combine 2 Tbsp. sugar, cinnamon, and nuts and toss to mix. Sprinkle over blueberries and cream cheese. Cover casserole tightly and refrigerate up to 24 hours. {P]Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and bake casserole, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes until golden. (Serves 8)

That sounds really good! I can't eat french toast because of the high egg content, but I'd try this recipe if I could eat it. I'd try it if I knew someone who would eat it for me. LOL.

Sounds like a good recipe for a brunch. Maybe sometime when you're in the mountains on a frosty morning!

Nitroflex at home

Image
I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h...

ankle update

S ince a few people object to seeing my feet --poor misdirected souls--I have the two pictures below hidden behind links. Behold them at your own risk! *evil laugh* Actually they're not scary though the first one is a little colorful. T he first picture shows my ankle and foot from the side, as labeled. You can see a lot of general edema of the entire foot. There's also a good bit of discoloration of the ankle area and to a lesser degree the top of the foot all the way down to the toes. The side view is a lot worse in this regard than the top view. T he second picture shows the two feet from the top so you can compare the somewhat normal looking right foot to the injured left foot. There's not much abnormal color on this view but you can see the "sausage like" swelling of the left foot. It's this swelling that is causing my main problem--I can't get the foot into my boots and I need the boots to support the ankle. Damn Catch-22. Side view, looking inward ...

Ostrich poop found here

Image
I took these pictures last Fall while visiting the NC Zoo. On the left you can see what appears to be a nice polite ostrich just wandering around. This impression soon turns out to be false when her dowdy tail feathers raise up and reveal a puckered anus. Ewwww! If you look carefully, you can see that she's made a deposit on the ground. More ewwww! Feel free to click on the image to make them bigger. Details can make all the difference in these shots. In other matters, aren't those really bony legs they have? And couldn't they have a little more color?
