Hubby's Lunch Special!

Yesterday, I got some Hawaiian bread at the store.  It came in a loaf, not the usual round style or buns.
Even the clerk was surprised to see it in the loaf form. Anyway, I tried having toast with it, and I didn't care for it because it was a little too sweet.   Hubby tried it and said, "This would make great french toast!"  Then he proceeded to make french toast for lunch!  Oh well, I didn't have to figure out what to make!  :)

He made-up a great recipe and I thought that I should share it! It made a great Sabbatical lunch!!



5 slices Hawaiian bread
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
t. vanilla
1 packet Splenda (my hubby is diabetic, so he used Splenda. You might prefer 1 t. sugar) 
sprinkle of cinnamon

He dipped the bread in all the mixed ingredients and fried it on the griddle.  Then he added chopped strawberries and whole blueberries to the top---no other toppings were used.  


The first strawberries and blueberries of our season here in Oregon are available, so it was a perfect time to use them!


 Give the recipe a try and see if you don't think, like I do, that this makes a great meal!

Working the Macro

As I had my breakfast out on the deck yesterday, I noticed that the strawberry plant leaves were exuding moisture from the vein tips.  I grabbed my camera! More macro work!


Getting the camera to focus right where my eye was focusing was a challenge, as you can see it in this second photo. The water droplets are not in focus.


But, "practice makes perfect", so here are the best two of the seven shots that I took:






Success comes from patience and practice!
