Heart Friday: Nov 27-Dec 2

A box made just for me....instead hot apple cider. Brilliant.
OMG I'm in love with this restaurant. yum

MMMMMM Tonga Toast.

INGREDIENTS
Sugar-Cinnamon Ingredients:3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Batter Ingredients:4 large eggs
1 1/3 cup whole milk
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Tonga Toast Ingredients:1 quart canola oil, for frying
1 loaf sourdough bread (uncut, 12 inches long)
2 large bananas, peeled

INSTRUCTIONS
For cinnamon-sugar:1. Mix sugar and cinnamon in medium bowl (large enough to roll toast) with a fork until thoroughly blended. Set aside.
For batter:1. Whip eggs in medium bowl (large enough to dip toast) until well beaten. Add milk, cinnamon, and sugar. Mix well and set aside.
For Tonga toast:1. Preheat oil to 350 degrees F in a large pot or a deep fryer. (If using a large pot, use a candy thermometer to make certain the oil does not get any hotter or it will burn.)
2. Slice the bread into four three-inch-thick slices.
3. Cut each banana in half crosswise, then each piece lengthwise.
4. Place a bread slice flat on the counter and tear out just enough from the middle (do not tear all the way through) to stuff half a banana into; repeat with each bread slice.
5. Dip stuffed bread into batter, covering both sides, allowing excess batter to drip off bread and place carefully into hot oil.
6. Cook 4-5 minutes until golden brown. If needed, turn toast over after 2 minutes and cook for another 2 minutes on other side. Remove and drain excess oil.
7. Roll toast in cinnamon-sugar. Repeat for each piece of toast.

Catching up

So I know i'm way behind. here are some photos of two weekends ago and what has been going on.

It was my good friend Sammy's birthday and we went mini golfing and to a very interesting bar.

Mini golf was really fun...I've never played with so many people at once (I think we had 8!) it was much different then just me and Luke playing!


Walking toward the train we found the fire station that Ghostbusters was filmed at! awesome. 


 Crazy shots...mine was pink!



we clearly had fun!

The next day I was surprisingly not hung over..and we went to the Natural History Museum.






hmmmm History museums...love.
