French Toast and the Universe





Sunday morning I woke up thinking about French Toast I can make with the left over Italian bread from food delivery earlier in the week. The bread had sesame seeds on it, but who cares! Three fresh eggs, rice milk, orange zest, cinnamon, a dash of salt, blended. I sliced the stale and almost dry bread into half an inch thickness, and soaked them in the egg mixture for five minutes or so before turning them over to soak some more from the other side. I soaked them longer than usual, that my husband asked me "What's going on with the bread?". My reply was "It's soaking!" I heated one frying pan, thinking it would hold all the toast, but I had to bring out a second pan. While toasting, I made mixed fruit smoothie in our old blender. This blender has been with me since college, and I know it wants to retire soon. Its motor tires much quicker now. I'll be shopping for a new blender with a glass jug, very soon. I think my French Toast came out really good today. When I was plating, I thought, "Darn, I should have made soysages to to go with this", but it was kind of too late. I was really hungry. Slices of butter and maple syrup went on the french toasts as soon as the plates landed on the table. We sat down, turned on the TV to watch my favorite program Sunday Morning Show, on CBS. To our disappointment, it was a complete rerun. Sometimes they mix in new stories with old, that's ok, but this time it was all stories we've already seen, one after the other. Same Sunday never comes again, so really, there should not be any rerun of same Sunday Morning Show. We watched my husband's Sunday morning program This Week with George Stephanopolous. They had some heated conversations at the round table. Very animated today. Then we watched a program on History channel about the Universe, and how it was made. I enjoyed this a lot, seeing how scientists through time have kind of unknowingly been tag teaming knowledge with insights, evidence, and mathematics. Each scientist took an idea to a point, and it took the next scientist to go further. This made me think of our spiritual leaders of our time, how there are much more of them out there now, and they might each hold a key to the grand puzzle of life. And then, we went to the pool.
