Baby's First French Toast

This "french toast" is not really meant for adults. I ate a little and it was fine, but very bland. I found the recipe in a baby cook book my mom gave Lily. Since infants aren't supposed to drink milk or eat a lot of sugar, the recipe is really more of an eggy bread with a dash of cinnamon. Still, Lily loved tearing it up and shoving it in her face. It's a good finger food and really quick and easy to throw together.

Baby's First French Toast

1 slice of whole wheat bread, cut into strips
1 egg
dash of cinnamon

Scramble egg in a shallow dish and add cinnamon. Soak bread in egg mixture on both sides until it's all absorbed. Heat a skillet on over medium high heat and cook toast for about a minute on each side until lightly toasted.

They're After My Marriage Again

The closing arguments in the case against the Proposition 8 group that took away California's same sex marriage rights happened today. None of it was televised or recorded because Prop 8ers thought it better to take away people's rights without any publicity. There are now reports that the group is going to begin efforts to legally divorce all of the same sex couples that married during the months that California legalized same sex marriage rights. Appeals will most likely take the case to the Supreme Court, which is both exciting and terrifying. I know that my husband, daughter, and I will eventually receive legal rights as a family because it's the right thing to do. I also know that civil rights didn't come to minority groups without a fight, but it's impossible for me to understand what the argument could be against my marriage.

French McDonalds Ad Welcomes Gays

In this surprisingly moving McDonald's commercial from France, a teen boy has a sweet phone conversation with his boyfriend, followed by a lunch at McDonald's with his father, who does not yet know he is gay. The ad welcomes gays and minorities with the slogan "Come As You Are". McDonalds' ad reps explained that the ad would play in countries where cultures accepted gay people but not in the United States because we are too uptight and hateful of gays (I'm paraphrasing). I guess if the U.S. chases all the gays out of the country we can hang out in France and have a Royale with cheese.
