Baltimore Lightning Toast [a recipe, not a music] [adapted from The Joy of Cooking, ©1931]

Ingredaments:

• 5 eggs
• ½ cup milk
• 1 tbsp bourbon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp salt
• dash of cinnamon

Heat up a frying pan, or the griddle if you have a fancy schmancy stove.

Mix all that stuff up there with a nice, sharp fork.

Soak bread* in mixture, but don't let it get too soggy to get back out of the bowl! Fry the bread in a pan. Repeat until all the batter is gone.

Serve with real** maple syrup and butter.

EAT.

You may, if you cannot finish it all, refrigerate or freeze the rest for later.

*Good bread, of course. I recommend a hearty multigrain or, for variety, cinnamon/raisin English muffins.

**Yes, 100% real maple syrup, preferably from Vermont. Use of Mrs. Butterworth's may involve a fine and/or imprisonment. The same goes for margarine. This is food, gosh darn it!
