Methinks this chamelion french toast is marvelous, and the forsooth speaking a true delight! For the wine, I definitely prefer white ... a light Pinot Grigio is lovely. For my children, dear little cretins, the juice of tinned pears will suffice!

This Lady of the lake was rather improper and ate it by herself. It tamed my sweet tooth. Delicious!
