Challenges and Texas Toast

Well, I am trying to get my house back together so I haven't had a whole lot of scrapping time. I did, however, manage to get a challenge done at Hummie's that grabbed my attention. She is doing a whole gradient theme at the moment and the latest technique challenge is a simple gradient mask. I would have had a hard time scrapping these pictures but the challenge inspired me to do a layout that I am very happy with. Oh, and by the way ... Hummie is Queen for the Day at DST today so stop in and say hi.

I visited Hummie's blog earlier today and she was talking about Texas Toast. Now there was post where this was brought up yesterday. I have to admit ... I thought it was very odd that Texas toast was mentioned in connection with maple syrup. In fact, I was mildly repulsed *LOL* You see, when someone mentions Texas Toast to me I think of this ...
See? I was thinking that Garlic and Maple syrup are not the best combo. From reading Hummie's post it seems that what she calls Texas Toast, I call French Toast *L*. So, Hummie, now I can answer the question posted on your blog...

How do I make my Texas Toast? I take it from the box and throw it in the oven for a few minutes. *L*

As for how I make my French Toast .... I crack a few eggs, a splash of milk, add a generous splash of vanilla extract and a couple shakes of ground cinnamon and then I quickly dip both sides of my bread in it (not too long though...I hate when it stays soggy in the middle) and then I grill it up. If I'm feeling fancy or want to give the kids an extra treat I may sprinkle it with a little confectioners sugar.

So there you go :)
