French Toast Party

Since taking baking courses at George Brown, a small fan club started to develop.  A friend even hangs out in front of George Brown in hopes of getting a taste of a fresh baked something.  My biggest fan is definitely Norm but trailing behind him is Grandpa.  One day he asked me how to make french toast so I gave him the recipe and the following Sunday we went there with our whole kitchen in a bag.  We had a french toast party with the Grands that also included some fresh baked danishes and Grandpa's fav cinnamon buns! And so the story goes:  everyday before working at the Westin Harbour Castle hotel, Grandpa would stroll the streets of downtown and stop by a cinnamon bun shop.  He says it's one of his favourites along with a homemade apple pie and tea biscuits.  Grandpa's grandpa often baked these favourites and so I can only imagine the memories that came back with even just the smell of a fresh baked something.
