- "OBACHAN" means a "middle-aged woman" or "aunty" in Japanese. .*************************. Having moved back to my hometown in April 2009, I live in one of the desperately underpopulated areas in Japan now. Let me share my life in a real countryside with aging parents living in the same house. And here in Muroto -- the place where I chose to live -- you can hear the heartbeat of the Earth! ;)

Hi Obachon, That toast looks good. i've been checking every morning since you made the grits. It all looks so good.

I like French Toast too! Haven't had this for a while now. The last time I made it, I sliced my toast horizontally in half and spread peanut butter on one of the slice. Then sandwiched them back together and do what you normally do with French toast: Dip and fry.
The idea of adding instant coffee sounds interesting too. I think it would be nice to add cocoa powder too to make a chocolatey treat!

> jim --- Hi! Welcome and thanks for frequenting my blog! :D So you live in the South now or are you originally from there? So nice to hear from another grits lover (you are a grits lover, right?)
> pinkcocoa --- Gee, peanut butter! Sounds like a real gooey French toast. I gotta give it a try someday. BTW, I tried out your Okara pancake the other day. The okara I got from the store was really dry, so the pancake didn’t turn out as soft as yours, but at least, it tasted healthy
; )

I remember Kramer v. Kramer very well. I liked the symbolism of the French toast - and I like French toast, too. When I first saw your picture, though, I thought it was a grilled cheese sandwich!

Hi Obachan.
I'm originally from Memphis but live in the midwest now. I love grits for breakfast with lots of butter. or as a cereal with butter, sugar and milk. I also love cheese grits.

> Annie --- Now that you say that…yeah, it does look like a grilled cheese sandwich :D I miss that, too.
> Jim --- Oh, no wonder you like grits :) I usually like them with butter/cheese, but I might invent a new Japanese dessert with grits someday. It’s one of my ongoing projects…
> MrsT --- How sweet of him! I envy you.

hi hi obachan
I got the peanut butter idea from the French Toast served at HongKong Style cafe here: peanut butter sandwiched between 2 thick slices of toast, dip in egg mixture then deepfried! Talk about all the goodness in this. I wonder why French aren't as big a size with all the goodness in food they have!
Glad that you tried out my okara pancake ;-) Maybe next time you can add in an extra eggs or extra milk to make it softer. Also if it's not as fluffy, try adding 1/2tsp of baking powder.

> pinkcocoa---Thanks for the tip for the okara pancake. I’ll try with extra egg, milk and BP next time. ;)
> purplegirl --- Blogging is really eye-opening, isn’t it? I often get creative ideas and that’s one of the reasons why I can’t stop blogging or reading other people's blogs…
