Ah HA! What's with the "dunno?" And "laying around?" Is that finger being laid around by someone? I think not . . .

I hope you have a good explanation! Hmmm?

And this person wants to proofread our darling Cran's paper . . . <shakes head sadly>

The fried (actually, they seem to call broiled things fried) tomato was one of my favorite parts of Irish fried breakfast. Now, whenever I cook bacon and eggs at home, I fry up a tomato at the end (in bacon fat, of course).

My breakfast/lunch (at 11:15am) this morning consisted of:

a wheat bagel
diet pepsi
banana
vegetarian corn salad
something from thailand with peppers and rice and onions
chocholate cake
coffee cake

...and I stuffed another bagel, granola cereal, a banana, and another piece of coffee cake into my bag, for later.

I just realised that I am a pig! lol

Brunch today (12:26):

Toast (whole-grain sprouted barley) with olive oil margarine
Coffee with chicory

Yes, that coffee is from New Orleans, and yes, the factory was damaged, and yes, I did rush out the day after the storm to buy 13 cans of the stuff . . . just in case. :roll:

not if you get all that for one school meal price! My first uni had a kind of buffet setup for mealtimes in the main cafeteria - for the price of a meal ticket (included in dorm price, or $7 or so for guests) you could stay there for two or three hours eating as much as you liked - but unfortunately they would close between meals so you couldn't stay all day and study or something.

Today was "French toast Day" at our house (that's FREEDOM toast to you jbarter

), which consists of almost 3 loaves of bread for the french toast, and then 2 lbs of bacon. We do this every Saturday, because the kids aren't fond of eating Cran's oatmeal every day

Why is it called French toast anyway? It's most assuredly not from France.

Because "to french" means to cut it in strips, I think. Thus french fries, french-cut green beans, french toast...but french toast (which properly spelled is not capitalised, because it is not a proper adjective, mind you) isn't always frenched nowadays. A lot of time french toast isn't even cut at all (at least, mine isn't when I make it).

I was under the impression that it was originally "German Toast" but it was changed during WWII due to the slight stigma upon the word "German." Could be a hoax.

That can't be true, because if it were originally called "German Toast," it would have been made with at least five pounds of meat for every slice of bread.
