Settling In / Farmer's Markets and French Toast

Though we've been living in Franklin for about a month now, it still feels like we're still not really settled. It's amazing how long it takes to unpack all of the boxes and get everything set up satisfactorily, especially since we moved from a tiny apartment to an actual house... we didn't realize how many appliances we were missing. We just bought our very own washer! You know you're an adult when such a purchase actually makes you really excited.

One lovely part of moving to a new town is that we get to discover all new places; It was lovely to find that there is a farmer's market every Saturday within walking distance of our house! We scored some fresh, free-range eggs, yams, peaches, and some homemade Amish sour dough bread, which we transformed into french toast using  this recipe, with some minor alterations. In stead of all purpose flour, we used white whole wheat, we doubled the cinnamon, and added a dash of nutmeg. You should also know, that though the recipe says it makes 12 slices, for me, it only made 6... which is all we needed anyway! Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar and some real maple syrup and you'll be set up for impressive deliciousness! Oh, and some piping hot french press coffee doesn't hurt either.

= delightful french toast.
