We started the day with international flair. We brewed some left over, organic, fair-trade, bird friendly Cuban coffee that we brought back to the US from our vacation to Vancouver, BC Canada a couple of months ago. We prefer to use our french press for single servings to save on grains and make a really solid cup of java.
PAIN PERDU
Here we have some day old brioche that makes the most amazing French toast.
These were acquired from Le Pain Quotidien.
sliced brioche, dipped in egg and milk batter with a dash of cinnamon, griddled to perfection!
Banana pancakes made on the fly, the brioche were gone in 60 seconds!
Apples. Good for humans..............
......and many others!
Friends dropped in to share "THE best donuts in the world!" with us. There was actual crispness to the bite in these peaches. They really were good!
All the makings of our $2.50 dinner.
We kicked it up a notch by doctoring our inexpensive store bought sauce with some home grown goodness. Onion, tomatoes, garlic...............BAM!
