We went to Old Ranch to have breakfast with James and Lisa. Lisa had her cream cheese stuffed french toast.
The earliest known reference to French toast is in the Apicius, a collection of Latin recipes dating to the 4th or 5th century; the recipe mentions soaking in milk, but not egg, and gives it no special name, just aliter dulcia “another sweet dish”.
Under the names suppe dorate, soupys yn dorye, tostées dorées, and payn purdyeu, the dish was widely known in medieval Europe. For example, Martino da Como offers a recipe. French toast was often served with game birds and meats. The word “soup” in these names refers to bread soaked in a liquid, a sop.
Lisa had he first “legal” drink! We had Teri join us for breakfast as she will be the designated driver for Lisa and Hannah’s night out!
First drink! Slurp… Gurgle… Burp!
After breakfast, James joined us for golf on the back nine. The temperature was mid-sixties with a slight breeze. Sue putted and we are a few short weeks from her golfing again!
A magnificent day for golf!
We did some Happy Hour with Bunnaford and James before leaving and heading for Patty’s Place. We sat around and discussed the world, heard a few jokes and Paul introduced Escargot to Greg!
Yummy
Greg and Paul agree… The snails are OK but the butter sauce and a good piece of bread make the meal!
The iPhone and Wiki make us very smart!
After returning home, Sue did the treadmill and we watched NCIS New Orleans. When the treadmill was done, we went back to watching “The West Wing”
