Howdy, howdy folks! 🤠 Happy Monday! ⭐️
Welcome to Episode 62!
For today’s recipe we have French Toast, Daniel-Style! (Which is just plain-jane lol)
While my sis and her bo-thang were in Mexico, I assumed my “Manny Responsibilities” and kept the house from falling into complete and utter chaos. It would have taken just about 6 days to reach that boiling point (the kids are fairly self-reliant and smart), AND, it surely would have all crumbled on day 7.
I learned very quickly that some folks (kids) are picky eaters, and others are genetically hardwired that way; who knew. The safest and most beloved recipe I could make: French Toast. It received a 4/4 kid rating(sugary bread, who would have known), and was given rave reviews: “Daniel, it was great! It didn’t taste like eggs at all!”
What are some foods that you, or your young’ins refuse to eat? Any picky eaters in your household?
So, with mad ravings about it, I knew it had to be thoroughly documented
I think everyone reading this knows the basic recipe for French Toast; I didn’t deviate. I did add a very liberal amount of Vanilla Extract—my award winning, kid approved secret.
We had a fantastic time while the parents were gone. It was not without our disagreements, negotiations, and apologies—but we made it! We watched America’s Top Model, played Mario Cart, and so much Fortnite! 😁
In other news, there is only a few more days before my first official day at WGU; I am excited! 🙂
The temperature maxed out at 75 today and raining—not complaining in the slightest. The blaring heat (90ish) has been withering old flower—the cooler weather is welcomed!
Well, we will see ya’ll on the next episode!
