It took me some time to write this article. In fact my editors mailed me
twice saying, 'what happened, where the last instalment of my anti-depressant
series is?' That was a fair enough question. I have taken way more time to pen
this article down. And the reason- well it’s just that I am in seventh heaven
after my ‘Depression Vs One Pot Pasta’ post. Not only was it way too colorful
and fancy for warding off depression; but it was also the most liked, read and
‘made’ recipe of mine. I garnered much ado for writing the recipe, in the
virtual and real world. And compliments really lifts your spirit high. So, you
see; I wasn’t really sure if I would be able to write on being pressed,
stressed and depressed; all at the very same time!
But today, it’s different. Today I really feel stressed. My toddler has
waded off into a world full of knowledge with strangers around him. As I sit in
the reception of the school, typing furiously on my keypad, my insides are
churning in tension. I might look composed on top, but only I know how much I
feel like a ticking time bomb inside. Every time the reception door opens, I
pry to see if I can get a glimpse of my child somewhere. Needless to say, it’s
the very first time I have left my child away from me, with strangers, for this
long. Today, I sit here checking on his progress, giving myself the
satisfaction of being close to him and be on his beck and call. Tomorrow would
be a bigger tussle. Tussle more for the mom in me. And so I need something to
ward this feeling off. This is the time, I feel I am ready to have my most
famous breakfast all day dish- Sandwiched French Toast.
Now, in all fairness you don’t have to stuff just sweet fillings or a store
bought Nutella in a jar. Obviously a homemade nut butter is preferred, which
can be jazzed up with some cocoa powder and icing sugar. But this dish will
taste awesome with anything really. And it’s hardly a recipe too. You can make
your own spin and follow these simple steps to get a savory or sweet
snack/breakfast ready in a moment’s notice. I will give you many filling
options but my hubby likes the one with Nutella and that is what I make mostly.
But any day I prefer a cheesy sharp French toast to this dessert like Nutella
filled ones.
