We started fsic over two decades ago; my husband was laid off for a short period of time, so he helped us out at the firm. One day while he was eating lunch he turned on the TV to find Martha Stewart making French toast. He wrote her recipe down as she cooked it—you had to write things down back then because the internet didn't archive like it does today. We tried her recipe and loved it! Since then is has been an annual tradition to make Martha Stewart French toast for every first cold weekend of fall, like she suggested on her show. The key to the recipe is the Brioche bread. We loved the Nantes loaves from La Boulangerie, a French bakery ran by a very skilled Vietnamese baker up until he retired and closed the bakery. Brioche Nantes loaves are full of butter and make this recipe incredibly decadent.
One fall weekend, Rocke and I headed out to run errands and ran into each other at that French bakery, we both had felt the traditional call of this recipe.
