How I Celebrated

As you can see, in the end of the video, I had already run out of the can of whipped topping. It was from Christmas and I guess we misjudged how much was left (none boo hoo). So, the french toast is probably the best idea for french toast Nate has ever had. He tried it one day when we needed to use some of our duck eggs and the only bread we had were the Hawaiian sweet rolls. This is much more of a dessert than anything else. With the whipped cream and the home made syrup, it tasted a lot like strawberry shortcake. I have to tell you, I would have this french bread shortcake over the BS "shortcake" at Claim Jumper any day! The hot chocolate was just some Abuelitas that we made in the crock pot. I thought about doing a prank for you guys and having a whipped cream bikini but having a real one underneath, but one, I am still in my hybernation bod, two, it is way too cold, and three, the last time there was whipped cream involved with swim suits, I never got the smell out and I had to throw away one of my cutest tankinis. Happy National Whipped Cream Day!
