Wonderful....we enjoyed making this and eating this. My boyfriend doesn't always like to try new things and definitely not french toast so after convincing him to do this and try this now he loves it and wants to try more. He can't stop raving about how delicious it is and says the marmalade syrup is to die for omg.

<p>Hello all, being from California, I can honestly say I am a foodie. You can walk by construction workers here and hear them saying things like, So I used some fresh garlic and olive oil, then threw the rest into the pan to sautee. LOL I love all kinds of food, and trying to eat healthier as I get older, but still indulge in the occasional deep-fried food or sweet. <br />I LOVE this site! I have 3 or 4 other food sites such as Epicurious and Food Network, but I always come back here! The ease and all of the features just can't be beat. <br />Thanks Zaar and I look forward to participating more.</p>
