I wanted my blog address to be Maggilo.whatever, but Maggilo was already taken. It's never taken. I'm going to have to scope out who this other Maggilo user is. Maggilo has been my fall back for 12 years now. It is the combination of the nickname of my middle name and the nickname of my first name. Lame. I know. Gimme a break though. I was in high school.
Had coffee this morning with the girls. Met a new girl, Stacey. Liked her. Missed Erin being there. She always laughs at my jokes. Her laugh is wonderfully infectious. And Jenn!! Where you at???!!! I love our friday coffee group. It is my constant. Wish Tiffany would come. It always reminds me of the perfect platform for a book or a movie. That's one of my life goals- write a book.
Trevor says my emails are too wordy. I wonder if my blogs will be too wordy. Probably.
Recipe for the french toast thing i made for coffee this morn:
INGREDIENTS
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons corn syrup
An 8- to 9-inch round loaf country-style bread
5 large eggs
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon orange juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS
In a small heavy saucepan melt butter with brown sugar and corn syrup over moderate heat, stirring, until smooth and pour into a 13- by 9- by 2-inch baking dish. Cut six 1-inch thick slices from center portion of bread, reserving ends for another use, and trim crusts. Arrange bread slices in one layer in baking dish, squeezing them slightly to fit.
In a bowl whisk together eggs, half-and-half, vanilla, Grand Marnier, and salt until combined well and pour evenly over bread. Chill bread mixture, covered, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
Preheat oven to 350° F and bring bread to room temperature.
Bake bread mixture, uncovered, in middle of oven until puffed and edges are pale golden, 35 to 40 minutes.
Serve hot French toast immediately.
