I updated my recipe for savory French toast and added sweet French
toast. Yes, I know that the sweet version is definitely ordinary; but
the savory version is somewhat unusual. See
<http://www.rossde.com/cooking/french_toast.html>.

I added a new recipe for oven-fried zucchini sticks. My wife wants me
to make this again. We also think we will try the recipe with eggplant.

Interesting. I just saw a recipe on one of the big city newspaper sites
for "savory bread pudding". It sounded odd to me, until I read it; it
was similar to a recipe for bread dressing or stuffing. Still, it
sounded good.

I have to say though, that I have never cared much for "chicken and
waffles", which is another normally sweet breakfast food prepared in a
savory fashion.

Oh, I love it (cornmeal waffles)! The biggest problem is finding a
restaurant with good fried chicken.

Perhaps my problem with chicken and waffles stems from my experience
with it in central PA. Lots and lots of low-intensity gravy, with
precious little in the way of chicken. Often served as "all you can
eat". Like a lot of dishes, I imagine that it might be pretty good if
prepared with an eye (or tongue) towards taste rather than profit.

Cornmeal waffles are great. I used to add cornmeal to the batter when I
was into waffles. If you substitute rice flour for part of the AP flour
you get a lighter, crisper, waffle. It's all good.

Aha, I see. The chicken and waffles they serve out here on the Left
Coast don't come with gravy. We get syrup with our chicken & waffles.
I've had fancy house made apple syrup etc, but I still prefer old
fashioned Grade A (not B) 100% maple syrup.

Oh, great idea! I have a waffle maker that I rarely use. Must put a
note inside it to remind myself to sub rice flour for some of the
wheat!
