What We'll do for French Toast!

For any of you who loathe grocery shopping, let me bring you a little encouragement! :) Yesterday morning about 8:20 I said french toast sounded good for breakfast. Tawnee and I quickly realized we didn't have any bread and would need it over the next couple of days, so we'd just run and get some quick (ha!) and then make our french toast. Well, by the time I took a quick shower and we tried to figure out which vehicle we could take, it was quickly 9:40.

The store we were going to is less than 2 miles away, but when we got there they were sold out of bread, eggs, and all the other items that we wanted and are always there. So, in order to go to a gas station fairly close by, you have to drive about 1 to 1.5 miles to turn around and get on the other side of the highway. So, we did that-- in hopes of getting some bread...sold out! We were out of options so we decided to head home, when voila...we saw someone selling bread on the side of the road! Whoo hoo! Well, at this point we remembered that we hadn't found eggs yet, so we decided to head a mile and a half down the road the other way toward Kotoku. We asked someone there where we could find eggs, so he agreed to help us find some. So, we cross the railroad tracks and end up walking through the town onto some dirt path that finally led back to what was actually this man's house! ...and his wife sold us some eggs! Ahhh...mission accomplished!

All this time I was really building up an appetite for this french toast. Well... by the time we got home it was 11:30!!! So, breakfast became "brunch" just at noon! Nothing here is ever quick!!!
