a week or so ago i made french toast for breakfast, and since i didn’t have my secret ingredient (almond extract… ok i guess secret isn’t the word for it when you post it on your blog, eh?), i had a moment of inspiration wherein i decided to try using some slivered almonds for a fancy “crusted with…” kind of effect. it wasn’t even decadent to think about using slivered almonds because i already had them. i had bought them a long time ago to make granola because they were the only ones i could find in fort william, and i had been carrying them around for all this time. so it was practical even.

the result was quite pretty but i actually don’t think i cared for the effect. it made it hard to enjoy the sponginess of the french toast, and the almond flavor wasn’t very strong.

fun to try, though.
