What's wonderful this Wednesday?

French toast bake!  And the wonderful friend who made it.  I sent Donna this recipe I found online, saying I wanted to try it.  She bought Texas Toast and a couple of other ingredients she didn't already have, and this morning we had it for brunch.  Thank you, Donna, for a wonderful Wednesday.  It was delicious, with some left over for tomorrow.
