Classic French Toast

    I love breakfast. It is my favourite meal of the day, and in addition to coffee, the only reason to get out of bed in the morning. I love nothing more than lying in bed with the sun rising, deciding what to make when I finally get up.
    This morning, however, I didn't have to decide. I had a perfect loaf of french crusty bread waiting so that I could make french toast. You see the secret to french toast has little to do with the eggs, or milk or vanilla. It has everything to do with the bread. I prefer a good homemade loaf, but a store-bought loaf of crusty bread from the bakery will work perfectly. With the french toast I had maple syrup fresh from the mennonites at the St.Jacobs, & fresh strawberries from the market. Happy eating!
