What do you do when you have one kid home for spring break and the other home sick? French toast goes a long way towards filling those bottomless pits, at least temporarily. I bought a loaf of challah and whisked together a cup of milk, two eggs, 2 tablespoons sugar and a splash of vanilla. I sliced the bread and dipped each slice in the mixture before tossing it into a hot pan with a dab of butter. I am weird in that I don’t like syrup but instead top my pancakes and French toast with honey but the boys topped theirs with maple syrup. I think I made their day.

Chris went shopping this week while he was home and bought himself a wok and an Asian cookbook. He wanted to cook a meal here before trying it in the dorm so he could ask questions and last night he made a fantastic beef stir-fry. I think he really enjoyed it and we definitely enjoyed having him cook!
