True! That's why I like recipes that make you use your senses rather
than time. Graham's comment made me laugh because on Christmas morning I
made baked French toast and the recipe said to bake for 25 minutes so I
was basing my timing on that. I don't know if I used a different kind of
bread, too many liquids or what, but it took about an hour and a half to
bake, and one of them was still underdone. So, I was late for our
Christmas brunch.
