Dec 1

I made a ham & bean soup yesterday for dinner.
There was some left, but not enough for 2 of us to make a meal of it.
So, I made the sandwiches with Italian bread, used 3 parts milk to 1 part heavy cream, plus the eggs & a little flour.
Vanilla, cinnamon & sugar for flavor.
Made the French toast first, the put slices of baked ham, Swiss cheese & a tomato on the bread. Tossed it in the oven at 300° until the cheese got "melty".
We have 3 half-samdwiches left. Put those in foil. I have to sub at least twice this week, so lunch is handled.
