Here's what you should have for breakfast

Good morning, cousins! Here's what you should have for breakfast today! This was a favorite recipe of Bill Miller, whose telltale neat, patient handwriting gives credit where credit's due. Aunt Marion used to make French toast for us all, and Bill liked to have eight-ten pieces before he went out for his jog. This recipe yields nine pieces, which constitutes one serving in the Sprick-Augustine-Broberg-Miller families. We love the idea of deep-frying battered bread. Uncle Joe, who the scrapblog editor has decided to promote from assistant to associate research director, with a doubling of pay, adds this food-based commentary: "The big family gatherings were happy occasions with lots of good food, usually potlucks. Your mom carried on the tradition for as long as she was able. We were fortunate that she and Anna could join our gang of cheeseheads for Christmas '05. It was a two-turkey day."
