I was so disappointed yesterday when at the store I didn’t see as many berries as I’d been seeing in the past couple of months. I wanted to buy blackberries to go with the pictures on this post, but at almost 4 dollars half a pint I decided to just get strawberries and blueberries. I think they still look pretty in the plate above. What do you think?
Anyway, crunchy French toast is one of my favorite breakfast and one of the very first recipes I posted on this blog more than 2 years ago. Over time I have changed it a little bit and for this one I used corn flakes and toasted oatmeal for the crust. Instead of preparing the berries with sugar, orange juice and orange liquor, I made a blackberry syrup (recipe at Epicurious.com) that tasted delicious and looked amazing. The only thing that I missed was the mimosas, again.
Leela mentioned on my last post that I am having fun with photography, and she’s so right! I am obsessed right now with taking pictures of food that flies, drips, splashes and makes a mess, hehe. I just like to make things less boring, not that food photography is boring at all. Playing with colors and new compositions give pictures a new edge, I think, and it puts me in a very good mood. Anyway, this post is making me really hungry and I still have a couple of slices of toast left…
¡Buen provecho!

Hehe … Thanks for the mention, Ben. Inspired by you, I am now practicing taking photographs of flying and dripping foods. Not much success so far, but I’ll keep trying.
Great looking French Toast, by the way.

Its true, you know. Your pictures are looking very good.
I have become obsessed with photography (more so because I’m finding there are plenty of places my P&S can’t take me) and am not sure if its a good thing or not!
