Happy New Year

So another year is now upon us. And I figure I better get a post up ASAP. We had a very mellow New Years Eve. In fact I was in bed at 7 with a very sore neck. But I was up early new years day, and made stuffed sourdough french toast with caramel sauce for breakfast. Our Christmas vaca has turned out much different than planned, but it was very restful, and relaxing. I think I will feel ready to get back at it on Monday morning. I hope all of you have had a great holiday, and can go into 2009 with much enthusiasm. It's a New Year with ENDLESS possibility!

Can I have the recipe for that French toast? Looks exquisite!

This is just basic french toast:
Egg, a little bit of milk, and some cinnamon mixed together. Cut the soar dough loaf leaving each piece a little thicker than you normally would. Cut a pocket into the slice. Set Aside.

Mix .5 block of cream cheese with .25 cups butter softened, and about 1 cup icing sugar. Beat that fast so its fluffy, and then add .5 tsp pure vanilla extract, and 1 tbsp. whipping cream or 1%.

Stuff the cream cheese mixture into the pocket, and dip into the egg mixture coating both sides. Fry in a pan with a little butter.

I'm not exactlly positive on the measures for the caramel sauce, I melted butter in a small sauce pan, added some corn syrup and some brown sugar brought it to a boil, and boiled it for about a minute.

I actually think these would taste better with a cinnamon sauce, but the caramel sauce was ok.
