What I call ‘Not quite french toast’
Easiest for 1 but can be done for more quite easily.
For 1 serve heat a small pan.
1 slice of bread buttered on one side.
Beat 1 egg with any herbs you like if you wish.
Pour the egg into the heated pan and quickly pop on the bread with the buttered side facing up.
When egg is cooked to desired firmness, flip.
Brown buttered side of the bread in a pan until cooked to your liking. Serve with either side up.
For more serves this is easily done in a bigger pan with more eggs and bread, you may just need to cut/push your bread pieces apart before flipping (if bread does not fit cut in half).
Great served with pan fried/grilled tomatoes or bacon or both.
Excuse my squashed bread it was the last in the loaf but still tasted delicious.
Kitchen appliances, there are many!
My pie maker decided not to work anymore. I did have many good years with it. My quandary was whether I wanted to replace it or not.
I hadn’t really decided one way or another when I was out shopping one day and I saw a little samosa maker on the markdown shelf in a store for $5 much cheaper than a pie maker.
As you can make many non pie things in a pie maker, cakes, pancakes etc I had to see what this samosa maker could do.
Yes the first thing I made was a pancake, well 6 little triangle pancakes that came out pretty good in 2 minutes. As per usual the hardest thing is not to open it up every 5 seconds to see how it’s going.
This is great for my grand kids snacks.
No I’ve not made samosas in it yet.
Reuse, recycle, repurpose.
Not all fruits or vegetables can be bought at farmers markets and sometimes you have no choice but to buy packaged. There are times you can reuse some of that packaging. I have found that I have a use for the plastic containers my mushrooms come in, they stack in my drawers nicely to hold my socks. Other containers fit my various bits for my card making or crafts. Different sizes for different items. My grandkids can leave their little projects in them for another day. Replace when broken.
Take away food containers are washed and when my boys and their families visit the left overs go home with them. They then reuse to pop meals in their freezer or work lunches.
Not all can be reused or repurposed and those go into my recycling bin.

Notes
I divide the dough in 2 and freeze half for another time.
Yes you can pop normal pink icing on top but the white
chocolate is what makes these biscuits perfect.
