East of New Jersey Challenge: French Toast

This is the best, best french toast ever! EVER! These little toasts are so good I wanted to call people up and invite them to my house to behold the yumminess of the toast. Instead, I will blog,
Sorta based on a Martha Stewart recipe-
3 Sub rolls- Catania Bakery
Vegetable oil- Florida Ave Warehouse area
1 cup of milk- Timor Bodega
2 eggs- Timor
smidge of sugar- FL Ave area
1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon- FL Ave
1 1/2 tablespoon of Grand Marnier- Bloomingdale Liquors
1 teaspoon of grated orange zest- Timor

Beat eggs into milk and add sugar, cinnamon, Grand Marnier, and zest and beat well. In a pan heat oil and dip slices of bread in batter, covering both sides. Fry in oil, turning over when one side has a nice brown. Do in batches.

I like to put butter and maple syrup (Timor) on them while hot. These are really out of this world.

Carter G Woodson, and a broke agency

Yesterday was a nice activity filled day. Did some gardening in the morning. In the afternoon got some dancing in at the Afro-American Civil War Memorial as part of DCLX. Lastly there was a meetup with Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton and some other local bloggers. My hearing is bad because of the background noise at the coffee shop I didn’t make out all that she said.
A topic of interest was the National Park Service and parks. Park-parks, with open space and stuff. However I asked about the NPS and the Carter G. Woodson house on 9th St. The short answer was the NPS did well enough to get the money to buy the Woodson house and the adjoining houses. They don’t have any money to do anything else.
