Last September I did a post about a young girl, April, who walks to school by my place and she can use my place if she has any difficulties. Every few months I happen to be out in the yard and April comes along and we have a great conversation.
Today I had a visit with April. I found out why she was late going home from school . I found out that she likes the new colors her room was painted ...lime green and duct tape gray. I found out that she made the first brush stroke and that her Mom painted the room.
Then she told me that she was on her way home to make supper. I asked her if she cooked . Oh yes, she can cook . Then I started to ask her what she cooks. Eggs? Yes, but she's allergic to them, but not if they're scrambled.
Then I got a hot tip. In the summer she goes to the Farmer's Market with her Mom and Dad. They go to a vendor who sells home made bread. April buys a chocolate bread the has lumps of chocolate in it and it is soooo good. Now back to the eggs. She can make French toast. Yes, you guessed it! French toast with the special chocolate bread that she buys from the Farmer's Market.
It sounds so good I think I'll try it! So there's my hot tip from the street!
I don't know about French toast with chocolate...
ReplyDeleteOh who am I kidding.. ANYTHING with chocolate. ;)
Yep, sounds good to me!
Deleteshe sounds like a smart and resourceful young lady. :)
ReplyDeleteThis kid is really cool! She's super smart and very well mannered. When you complement her she knows it and says thank you.
DeleteNever heard of chocolate French Toast! Hmmm....and I'm a chocolate lover too.
ReplyDeleteNew Idea eh?
DeleteChocolate makes everything better.
ReplyDeleteOh, where have I heard that one before?
DeleteSound real good, I like trying a lot of different breads.
ReplyDeletebread makers are awesome because there are so many recipes.
DeleteI know I would be at the Farmers Market and leave with chocolate bread. Yum
ReplyDeleteYes, these people at the Farmer's Market sell real treats when it comes to bread.
DeleteFrench toast with chocolate bread - yum - sounds like dessert to me.
ReplyDeleteYes, it would make a good dessert!
DeleteI love fresh baked bread, the smell of it is so delicious. I never eat bread from a supermarket only from the bakery shop. Hope you enjoy your chocolate bread!
ReplyDeleteYou've got it right. Bake shops make real bread instead of the chemical stuff.
DeleteWouldn't think about French Toast with Chocolate bread, but then why not? Your "Hot Tip From The Street", sounds delicious. Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteIt takes a kid to create something like this.
DeleteYes, she is a great cook, all right. Anything will go well with chocolate in it, Red. I might try this one myself! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's good that she's allowed and encouraged to experiment.
DeleteChocolate french toast sounds like a winner to me!
ReplyDeleteKeep those hot tips coming Red!
Well, if I keep on standing on the street and talking to all the kids that go by I could have more ideas.
DeleteWell that's certainly different. I'm surprised that it isn't already on the American breakfast menu given some of the sweet American breakfasts I have seen.
ReplyDeleteYes, you can get some pretty fancy breakfasts. I still prefer my oatmeal.
DeleteSounds good to me...chocolate is always good and why not with eggs!?

Yes. a little syrup or maple syrup and it would be a winner.
DeleteAs "April's" dad (thanks for using a pseudonym) I can vouch that chocolate french toast - with a K&J's Lemonade chaser - is a great post-Farmer's market treat. Throw in the bike ride there and back and you've got the makings of pretty great summer Saturdays.
ReplyDelete"April" is an amazing kid. We're lucky parents.
Thanks for being there for her.
April always has some interesting comments, ideas and surprises. I love to see her coming.
DeletePerhaps she will share more great recipes with you..you really must go get some of that bread when the farmers market opens and take a photo..or get a recipe!~! :)
ReplyDeleteBummer ... I'm not sure where to find THAT downunder!!! But it sounds sensational!! Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteCan't beat home cooking whatever the age...;)
