Shutdown Foodie Day 3 - French Toast, Drunken Noodles, Chocolate Pudding (kinda)

Oatmeal French Toast

So we all know that French Toast is yummy. It's that sweet gooey-ness and crisp buttery-ness and subtle cinnamon and nutmeg that just makes it tantalizing! 

Home made bread takes French Toast yummy-ness and makes it better... exponentially  The lesson here is you should try and make bread! King Arthur Flour's back of the bag bread is fairly easy and oh so yummy. 

Ingredients
4 slices thick cut bread, a little old 
2 eggs 
1/2 cup heavy cream 
1/2 tsp cinnamon 
1/8 - 1/4 tsp nutmeg 
2 - 4 Tbsp sugar, to taste 
1 Tbsp Grand Mariner (optional) 
butter 

Mix the eggs, cream, cinnamon, nutmeg  and sugar. If you're using the alchy throw that in as well. 

Let the slices soak up the custardy goodness on both sides. Heat the butter in a griddle and lay one slice down at a time (as many fit comfortably in your pan). Brown on both sides. 

Serve with maple syrup, dusted with powdered sugar, or fresh fruit. 

Drunken Noodles 

This is another Cook's Illustrated Recipe from the 2013 Cooking for 2 Issue. I don't have the magazine in front of me, and of course it isn't online. 

So the lesson here is: Go pick up this issue! You'll thank me later. I'm sure of it :) 

Chocolate Pudding

If you really want this or the drunken noodles recipe and cannot live without them- email me. I'll dig up the magazine. 

This is kinda a bust of a recipe update but tomorrow's will be nothing short of ah-maz-ing! People were licking plates after the pork vindaloo, multiple people. And it was easy enough to throw together for lunch! What is this magic you ask? Check back tomorrow.
