Everyone enjoyed the Holiday French Toast I had assembled late last night and baked this morning for brunch. Click here for recipe.
We debated the merits of the two versions: one with Granny Smith apples and the other with Melrose, the Ohio apple. It was decided that the flavor of the Melrose was on the sweeter side but the firmness of the Granny Smith was better. A couple diners felt that the addition of Maine wild blueberry syrup added a bit of tartness that was a nice counterpoint to the sweetness of the apples and brown sugar.
Then it was off to the sledding hill in Forest Hills Park for all the grandkids and one courageous adult. They returned cold but very happy. It seems that two Flexible Flyers that I brought down from the loft in the garage were the favored rides. These sleds, originally my sister's and mine, have been in the loft since 1986. How nice that they were used again.
Dinner found us at Tommy's, the favorite of the older grandkids. Then it was off to ice skating or shopping.
Back home it was one last indulgence, the pecan pie I had made while everyone else was either sledding or napping.
Tomorrow the house will be too quiet.
