Sunday morning quickie – French toast is easy and almost foolproof. Add crispy bacon and you’ll be saying “What Hangover?” The French bread is better if it’s a day old. If T has made her Caesar Salad the night before, it’s the perfect way to use up the rest of the loaf we had for the croutons. Don’t forget some good Canadian maple syrup. I like a little more vanilla flavour and that’s reflected in the directions below. For the spice, substitute what you like best. We do nutmeg or cinnamon.
