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!
I hope you like it and I hope you make it!
I’m sure glad I did.
I hope you do too!
