Sometimes my ridiculousness even amazes me.

I have no idea what in tarnation made me want to make some kind of roasted grape mascarpone French toast crostini business.

Honestly, I’m not even sure I got the capitalization right.  Is it French Toast or is the toast French? Beats me.

So, anyhoo —

I’m keeping things short today because I have some lawyer stuff to do for a family situation.  Wish me luck!

    Okay, first of all – good luck (with your lawyer business). Second of all – WHAT?! I can imagine the sweet flavor of the grapes against the creaminess of the mascarpone set atop one of my favorite things…French toast. Holy! You’ve outdone yourself, my friend!
