This is Personal

My mother and her family grew up in Detroit. Many of her family members still live there so .... it's personal when we play Detroit.

I was glad to hear that Cutler was benched. I am convinced that he doesn't play well with others and, therefore, can never be a leader quarterback. No one will put out the extra effort for him and that's important.

I was delighted to see Clausen celebrate with his team mates. Cutler never does this and whether he throws an interception or a touchdown pass, he just returns to the sidelines. Never a leader; never a team mate.

We came up short today. What the heck was up with the dropped passes? Great passes were dropped - why? Is there a different spin on Cutler's ball versus Clausen's? I have no idea what was going on but I'm hoping Marc Trestman holds firm with Jimmy Clausen.

Today, since it is so personal with the Lions, I went with my Aunts' french toast. As a child, they would each make my sister and I french toast and ask us to say whose what better. They were both delicious. Here's my recipe based on what I learned from them:

French Toast

Ingredients:
White bread
Eggs (1 for every 2 pieces of french toast)
Some: milk, brown sugar and vanilla
Jam, Jelly or Syrup

Directions:
Whip together egg, milk brown sugar and vanilla in a shallow, wide bowl (a pie pan works well)
Dip bread in the egg mixture, leaving it longer is a good thing
Melt butter in a pan over medium heat
When it's melted and warm, add bread that has been soaked in egg mixture
Cover pan with a lid
When one side is brown, turn and brown the other side

Top with either jelly/jam or syrup
