Mmmm. French Toast

When I was a kid my mom made this amazing batter dipped French Toast. She would cut the bread slices in half to create rectangles instead of triangles. She then battered and fried them mmmmmm. I remember that this meal was always a much anticipated treat. Pancakes and waffles didn't hold a candle to that french toast.
Well yesterday it was way to early to call my mom for the recipe, so I hopped on-line to give google a whirl. I stumbled across this recipe for Batter Dipped French Toast from Kansas State University . What a find!
I cut the bread into rectangles and totally had a childhood moment. BG and BB were solidly impressed and proceeded to eat seconds, yes SECONDS! That does not happen a lot in this house, and as you know getting BB to eat anything that is not a tortilla was well worth it. I also managed to sneak in some sausage, yea me. The other reason that I recommend this recipe is that it re-heats extremely well in the toaster oven. It turned out nice and crispy.
Well who knew I could rattle on about french toast ad nauseam, but I did. Please share any recipes that your brood loves, or that just take you back. Thanks for tuning in, PLGC-out

Summertime Fun

Tortilla's

Tortillas, manna, nectar of the Gods... Well it is the only thing my very picky 2year old seems to want. Wrap it in a tortilla and you are golden, put it on a plate without one, well. Anyone else out there with a picky eater? plgc, share if you read this .

brief.

I'm Back. Did you miss me? No, ok well I understand, if I relied on my blog for self confidence then I'd be completely screwed. I have gone from climbing the corporate ladder to being the layoff queen. Yup laid Off, but only after I had to lay off almost 200 hundred peeps my damn self!
I find I am quite enjoying, though having to adjust a bit, to being back at home. The Hubs is selling cars of all things, I guess we will see how it goes. The kids are these awsome lil' beings who roll with the punches. I will let y'all know how it flows later. PLGC!

Where to start?

Hello all, it has been a while. From the numbers I can see that I have a few lurkers, welcome. I don't update enough to deserve your comments, but i appreciate the visits. It seems my life has fast tracked right past me. I told y'all about my promotion, well that was aeons ago. I am now the operations supervisor (yes another fancy title without the fancy pay) on a whole new account. They did send me and a group of yahoos to LA for a week. I'd love to say that I had fun, except for the fact that I was constantly working or sleeping.
Okay, the true juicy, I did go to "the club" on my birthday Feb 14. We went to a club called Priveledge in Santa Monica (I think). A couple of guys I work with got swindled out of an indecent amount of cash to get us in, but I had fun. I didn't really indulge in the alcohol, I prefer to slowly partake and observe. I took pictures, i am now officially capable of blackmailing co-workers. I love my life!
I missed my kids so much! i didn't expect to become this lame, not up for the party mama, but here I am. The frustrating part was that they had a cold the whole time I was gone. I know they were being cared for, but nothing surpasses mommy TLC. I missed HD too, but coming home was so sweet! enough said.
I feel like I am becoming this crazed work-aholic. I come a little early, stay a little late. Can someone please tell me when I became a grownup? Anybody??
The BB is rapidly moving towards those terrible twos. Since my daughter really only had the Tyrannic threes, I am in a whole new territory. Th boy likes to hit, bite, pinch, throw himself prostrate on the floor, you name it. Then he turns on the charm. "I sowwy" it gets me every time. BG is becoming such a Big Girl. She is reigning in the tantrums, and becoming quite the sweetheart. Thank goodness, since we are dealing with above said BB madness.
Well it is late, and I am beat, off to the grind in the A.M. PLGC
