Mama Ain’t No Rachael Ray

Filed under: Domestic Diva, My Girls — Blonde Mom at 8:23 am on Saturday, September 23, 2006

Miss C stayed with my mom last night and this morning my mom called to let me know what a great time they were having. She made her French toast for breakfast and asked if mommy ever made it.

“Yes, grandma. But it’s black.”

So, my mom asked her why it was black.

“Mommy has the fire too hot!”

For a split second I thought she was going to tell my mom yes, but they come in a box. So at least she remembers the few times I have actually made, and nearly burned, French toast from scratch. It’s not all frozen Aunt Jemima in a box around here.

That is so cute;out of the mouths of babes.

One day Dean and I were talking about beer. Hannah chimes in and says”Terry drinks beer”)my father). My father thought that was pretty funny. Some things are supposed to be a secret.

Ha ha!

Try this recipe. It’s super easy and your kids will LOVE it (along with everyone else).

For an extra special treat, we use the pullman loaf at ALpha Bakery for the bread. But anything will do.

Hah!

That reminds me of a time in church during the children’s sermon. I forget exactly what the message was, but the minister innocently said, “It’s a little like when your mommy is baking a pie.”

One of my boys - can’t remember which one now - pipes up, “My mommy never bakes pies!”

Oh well, at least they knew what not to expect from me at the next pot-luck!

Hope all is well with your family.

The things we do for kids… I tried to make a french toast for my son for breakfast. It tasted like an omlette with breadcrumbs… Needless to say he hated it.

(luckily he was too young to remember that I made it.)

[...] Thankfully I married a man who knows his way around the kitchen and who laughs at the very idea of following a recipe, otherwise my girls would never realize the joy of cooking. I, on the other hand, usually stumble along in the kitchen with a recipe and would choose “Burnin’ Down the House” as my kitchen anthem. [...]
