"Whenever I don&amp;#039;t feel like making dinner, I don&amp;#039;t. I make breakfast. Somehow it seems more casual, like I&amp;#039;m taking a break. It&amp;#039;s cozy, especially when there&amp;#039;s a summer storm outside and we&amp;#039;re toting the kids up for baths immediately afterward, to wash sticky maple syrup out of baby-fine hair and off of pudgy fingers.   I made bread last weekend, a honey-white sandwich loaf that was spongy in a good way and rich with milk and eggs. It sliced like a dream and added some substance to even a PB &amp;amp;amp; J. It also made decent French toast, especially once I had piled bananas and walnuts on top and drizzled it with some maple syrup. Bacon on the side is, for my family, mandatory. This particular brand of salty-sweet makes me think bacon syrup is a wonderful idea. You probably know the drill: I sliced the leftover bread and set it out to dry a bit. Mixed 4 eggs, a few splashes of milk, salt and vanilla in a shallow dish. I let the bread soak in the mixture for a couple of minutes, then flipped it and soaked it some more. Cooked on a buttered nonstick griddle over medium heat a few minutes, until browned, then flipped and cooked some more. I had extra egg mixture, so I cooked it up as scrambled eggs, which was not as weird as it sounds with the vanilla in there. Actually, it was kind of odd.  My husband microwaved bacon. Microwavable plate, 2 paper towels, 1 layer of bacon, 1 more paper towel, microwave 2 to 3 minutes, until crisp. Easy. You know, WD doesn&amp;#039;t have that many breakfast recipes in the recipe index (apparently the test kitchen there is not as lazy as I), so here are some dinner ideas if breakfast for dinner isn&amp;#039;t your thing:  Grilled Veggie Pizzas Alfred  Spicy Seafood and Penne  Oven-Fried Drumsticks  \u2014Kim Walker "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
