1. THE GREATEST FRENCH TOAST IN THE WORLD
I came up with that name for this recipe when I was thinking about it in my head. I wanted to incorporate all the best things about other french toast recipes I have really enjoyed, subtle orange flavorings, a buttery sweet coconut crust, and a custardy interior. Of course, the french toast doesn't live up to the name, but it was pretty good! I think I need to up the orange flavor even more next time.
Of course, as would be expected, THE GREATEST FRENCH TOAST IN THE WORLD does create a lot of dirty dishes.2. Deep dish pizza
This recipe actually fires a shot across the bow of Zachary's Pizza in Berkeley (and Danville, etc.). However, Zachary's laughs off that shot and proceeds to sink this pizza as Zachary's is still easily better. This one I don't have to drive 600 million miles for either though and it is quite delicious. I linked the recipe (free for another couple of months from Cook's Illustrated) above. The version I made (from the print magazine) didn't have sausage and I added spinach to one of the pizzas; other than that though the recipes are identical to what I made.
3. Zoey Tricks
Zoey is missing all the treats she gets for showing off to the kids. She therefore demanded we make this movie in hopes that she would be sent treats.
4. Christmas Pictures
We had such a great Christmas (as usual) and feel so lucky to be spoiled by all of you. It was so great to see everyone and hang out for a few days. Looking forward to the next one!
Here are some random pictures that I liked of the festivities:

Hi Dunlap family! I just wanted to compliment Justin & Alisa on their amazing dog, Zoey. Loved the video!
Fun post Justin! I wish I had the energy to cook that much yummy stuff! Soon again I'll feel better once the pregnancy ends and the baby gets older. Zoey is really good at her tricks!
Yay! I'm so lucky I get to try all this amazing food. Good thing I run to keep it all from sticking =). That pizza was DELICIOUS.
I just tried the French toast too, it was also quite yummy, though I agree it could use more orange flavoring.
Zoey, I gotta say, is the best dog ever!
Thanks for posting Justin, it was fun to see the pictures and watch the video of Zoey. You should start a reality TV show: "Justin's Test Kitchen". Sounds great!
Yea! Loved the new post, Justin: all your special memorable Christmas pictures and even the painful pizza and French toast pictures - those are such a tease to view and not be able to sample! I couldn't get the video of starlet Zoey to work at first, but persistence paid off. For Kathryn, Justin and Jeremy: Sierra Nevada released the 2010 Big Foot day before yesterday.
Thanks for the comments everyone. Sorry to tease you with the pictures Mom. Yay for Big Foot! Looking forward to trying a vertical (multiple years of the same beer) of them someday soon.
