of course i had to follow up last night's eggplant parmesan with french toast (recipe from 101cookbooks). i made them using thick slices of challah (from trader joe's). my only modification was the addition of a tsp of vanilla.

interestingly, the last time i made this was with whole foods' challah bread, which i found to be rather bland compared to trader joe's. you would think with it being fresher it would be better. i guess they don't have a great recipe. i'll have to try making some myself. i'm not a big syrup fan, so i eat mine with a little bit of butter and dusted with powdered sugar. we also had fresh mango and veggie sausage. a very filling brunch.
