    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Made this for Grandchildren this morning. I way over estimated for 3 kids, 2 adults so my 2 Boxers enjoyed a snack also and loved it!

1 ea. Large egg, beaten
1 cup Milk
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon, ground
1/2 tsp. Salt
2 slices Brioche or challah bread, thick sliced
2 Tbsp. Butter, unsalted
1/2 cup Banana, fresh sliced
1 cup Maple syrup
3 slices Smithfield Naturally Smoked Applewood Bacon, cooked
1 Tbsp. Pecans, crushed
2 Tbsp. Fresh mixed berries (or berry of choice)


Combine beaten eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl, mix well. Dip sliced bread into batter and let it soak up the mixture for 2 minutes.

In a medium sauté pan, over medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and melt. Add sliced bananas and sauté until lightly browned, approximately 3 minutes. Add maple syrup and simmer for 1 minute then set aside.

In a large sauté pan add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and melt over medium high heat. Add batter dipped bread and sauté each side until golden brown, flip and repeat. Make sure toast is completely cooked through and the center is not soggy.

On a plate, top one piece of toast with sautéed bananas, slices of Smithfield Bacon and any remaining maple syrup. Place remaining slice of toast on top followed by a sprinkle of toasted pecans and mixed berries.
 
Oh I used Texas toast instead of brioche or challah bread
 
Thanks Mark but pic is not mine. Mine looked very edible though just not as pretty, lol. About 25 years ago I made a 5 fruit cheesecake that looked better than what it did in cookbook. Wish I had taken a pic then. Damn thing cost a fortune to make though.
 
Man im sure it taste just as good as the pic looks! Fruit cheesecake is deff not on the top of my list lol andit does take a lot of money to make something good!
