Enjoy a delicious breakfast with this sweet recipe!

Ingredient s

4 thick slices of white bread

1 tbsp of butter

2 eggs

¼ cup of milk

Salt

¼ cup of sugar

½ tsp cinnamon powder

(Optional) Maple Syrup to serve.

1. Cut each slice of bread into 4 sticks.

2. Combine the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt in a bowl large enough to roll bread sticks in.

3. Combine the cinnamon and sugar on a plate.

4. Heat the butter in a large pan over medium high heat (you can use less or more butter, depending on how much you like butter).

5. Roll the sticks in the egg mixture quickly (do NOT soak them), shake off excess egg and place the sticks in the pan.

6. Flip the sticks until each side is golden.

7. Immediately transfer the cooked sticks onto the plate with the cinnamon sugar and roll the sticks. Do this quickly so the cinnamon sugar sticks to the french toast sticks.

8. (Optional) You can take the extra batter (if you have extra) and cook it in the pan (then you?ll have Cinnamon French Toast Sticks and eggs!).

9. Serve the Cinnamon French Toast Sticks hot, with Maple Syrup if you would like.

10. Enjoy!

Where Is This Boy Going and What Is His Name?

Ah, M. Night Shyamalan. A director infamous for his vast descent in film popularity, a factor owed to the tiring cliches in his later movies. In this article, you will learn how to make any cookie-cutter film in his style.

1. Pointless Close-Ups

Ever wonder why M. Night?s films are a lot of the time rather unnerving to watch? Part of it is probably because of the fact that most of the time, the actor?s face is so close to the camera, you can?t help but shrink away.

2. Over-the-Top Cameo

As you watch films, you probably will often see the creator make some sort of see it or

How To: Make an M. Night Shyam alan Film

miss it cameo. Not Shyamalan. In his films, he often plays an important part, such as a writer whose works will change the world, and so on. He pretty much substitutes himself for a major actor.

3. The Twist

At the end of a movie, directors often like to add in a litt le twist to excite the viewer. M. Night takes that trope a step further. The movie might start out straightforward and flat, when suddenly, a twist will appear that (figuratively) in vain attempts to persuade the viewer into believing it is incredibly clever and ingenious.

And there you have it. Follow those steps, and you can successfully make a generic Shyamalan film.

On rainy days the man went to work, came home and took the elevator to the 30 floor.

On sunny days the man went to work,came home but had to take the stairs to his floor.

Why was the man able to take the elevator on some days and the stairs on the other?

Answer:

On rainy days the man had his umbrella so he could reach the buttons, but on sunny days he did not.
