Who really named it French Toast?

This morning I decided to indulge in  some french toast made from french bread. Recollecting an English Lesson I was giving to a french business person from when I was living in Mauritius last year I sneared with laughter from my soul. In the lesson we discussed things in America named after French. French toast came up in the conversation. Without a doubt an English Teacher always wants to have an answer to that question for there students. The golden question asked by the student, "Who on earth named it French Toast because we sure didn't?"

The well defined answer is French Toast originated as an exclusive way to use day-old or stale bread. French breads are commonly known as becoming stale after a day. 

Whereas a stale, crunchy bread may seem unappetizing, soaking the bread in eggs and frying it solved the problem for many. The precise origins of the recipe are unknown, although a version appears in the 4th Century CE Roman cookbook attributed to Apicius.

There you have it French Toast from French Bread....YUMMMMMY!!

Bon Appétit!

When your child gets bored with one hobby what do you do for them ?

Fishing Got Boring to Him so I peaked His Interest with Photography. My son who is ten now is discovering photography. With my Fuji Fine Pix 14 pixel in his hand this is his first day of adventuring out. This is one of his best photos he took yesterday. Although he has a little noise in his photograph her was able to capture a unique shot. We will have to work on clarity a bit more.

We Named Her "Angel On the Water"

She lives in the wild and has attached to us. This was the first time I photographed her. I happen to be one of those humans in which animals come right up to. She wierdly adopted herself to us. She lives in the Marina which is in my front yard. This is the first time I photographed her : This is the second time I photographed her. Funny thing is I was telling her, "Wow you are a poser aren't you?" Suddenly it was as if she was a born model each time I said that to her she would turn every way for a new pose. My son whom is ten just laughed and said, "Wow Mom that is amazing. How do you get a wild animal to do that?" We named her "Angel on the Water" we even feed her now. We began doing so tonight after she kept coming to me when I would call her.

God the Master Fine Artist

Do you feel that God is the Master Fine Artist of this Earth? I certainly do. As I stroll along this spring with my new Canon DSLR camera I recognize God's prismatic display of workmanship. Each day to me the colors seem to look more vibrant as I walk around. Perhaps it is due to being gone away from America for the past two years and now returning and spring beginning. Whatsoever it may be I appreciate and praise God for all that he has created for us!

Enjoy a little of what I see:
