Trying to sound a bit gangsta and crack a joke at the same time. It’s that magical time of year when my favorite dairy beverage of choice is available. EGGNOG!!!!! Nate brought me home some holiday cheer in a milk carton from his place of employment. I can’t tell you where he works but it rhymes with La La. I can’t drink a whole container of this stuff by myself before it goes bad and since Nate hates to drink it (WHAT?!?!) I had to do something with it. I hate to waste good food. Luckily Nate loves Egg Nog French Toast. As a special treat I like to make it with Challah, which stands up better to the egg batter compared to regular sandwich bread. The only thing about Challah is that it can be pricy. At the local Acme it cost $9.00 for a loaf. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? It’s BREAD! I tried looking for Texas Toast or something thicker in the bread aisle so that I wouldn’t have to pay an arm and a leg for this luscious loaf. There was none to be found. Somewhere in the cobwebs of my mind I remember finding cheaper Challah but then I thought it was just my desire to find cheaper bread and couldn’t remember my original thoughts. So I went home with my expensive loaf and made up my French toast. While I was slicing it up and bitching to Nathan over the price of Challah at Acme he pointed out to me “Hey, didn’t you find cheap Challah at Trader Joes before?” LIGHTBULB! I knew I wasn’t crazy; there was a cheaper place to buy this bread ONE BLOCK AWAY, ARHGIEOHGDJKF! Whatever, may be I will remember for next time…
