I am late. VERY LATE for Week 2's challenge. Mint just wasn't inspiring for me. I bought some peppermint extract and let it sit for a while. I could have used fresh mint in a recipe, but really....Nope. Just wasn't feeling it.
Then last night happened. I was hungry but since we're moving soon, I haven't been doing much shopping. I remembered I had some Pillsbury Chocolate Swirl quickbread and figured "Hey! I can add peppermint to this and I can finally move on from week two!"
But that felt too easy and Diego wasn't going to consider that dinner.
Given our bare pantry, I didn't have many options, except for the eggs I just bought. Scrambled eggs and French Toast. BAM!
The only interesting part of this venture is that when I went looking for vanilla extract for my french toast batter, I saw Almond extract and decided that was an interesting kick.
When all was said and done, my french toast was met with mixed reviews.
Diego, eater of all my concoctions, "The mint feels overwhelming at first, but once it mixes with the chocolate, it's really not strong. It's good. I like it. The mint was unexpected but good."
Jan, a finicky eater, yet honest, "The mint is not for me."
Myself (French toast)..."The almond taste is overwhelming everything, tasty enough to eat, not tasty enough to make again."
David only had pieces of the mint chocolate swirl bread, not the french toast "This is AMAZING! I'm going to eat it all!"
