THE PERFECT BR<\/strong><\/em>EAKFAST ON CHRISTMAS MORNING!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0FROM SALLY JAYE \u2013 Singer\/Songwriter & \u00bd of the duo of The Ladies Gun Club<\/b><\/p>\n

SALLY JAYE\u2019S FRENCH TOAST EVERYBODY LOVES!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"sally<\/a>Ingredients: <\/b>One loaf of Challah bread, Canola oil, 4 eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 Tbsp honey, \u00bd Tbsp sugar. Dash of salt, fresh berries, syrup<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWake up. Go buy some nice Challah bread from a local bakery, maybe grab a cup of coffee there and smile and chat with some folks in the neighborhood. Take it home, turn on some music (we put the iPhone in a glass on the counter), and make sure the kitchen is nice and clean before you start.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Slice bread about 1 and 1\/2 inches thick and set aside.\u00a0In a glass mixing bowl (I prefer glass), combine milk, eggs, vanilla, honey, salt. Don’t put your eggshells in the garbage disposal! \u00a0Whisk together. Pour into a small, shallow glass casserole dish. (I prefer glass). Add Canola oil to a medium size skillet, just enough to create a light layer all over. Turn stove onto medium. Lay slices of bread in mixture, coating each side but not soaking. Let bread sit in mixture for a few minutes.\u00a0Place slices of bread in skillet. Cook for two to three minutes and flip. Repeat for other side. Flip again for about a minute, and flip again for another minute. Just don’t leave it for too long on one side or it will burn.\u00a0 NOTE: Don’t let it get cold, so if you’re making a lot, keep it in a warm oven (low temp) while you make the rest.\u00a0Serve with syrup and fresh strawberries and blueberries or fruit of your choice. Bananas are good too. This goes especially well with bacon and fresh orange juice to drink.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

The unabashedly Appalachian voices of SALLY JAYE and SARAH ROBERTS make for a stunning anomaly. Soon after meeting, they borrowed the name LADIES GUN CLUB from an actual ladies\u2019 gun club in North Carolina and, happily commenced to makin\u2019 bona fide Roots Music in the midst of Tinseltown. The NEW LGC single is out on iTunes! Check out BIG BASS DRUM, produced by Josh Day, written and performed by LGC with Brian Wright, Philip Khronengold & Dylan Cooper www.theladiesgunclub.com<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a family favorite and oh so easy!!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>HAM ROLL UPS<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"024\"<\/a>Danish Ham \u2013 16 ounces, Green Onions \u2013 1 bunch, Soft Cream Cheese \u2013 16 ounces<\/b><\/p>\n

Wash green onions, cut off root ends, reserve green stalks. Take a slice of ham and lay flat, spread enough cream cheese to cover.\u00a0 Cut 1 stalk of green onion the width of the ham, roll it up like a jelly roll.\u00a0 With seam side down slice 5-6 \u201cwheels\u201d.\u00a0 Place on a small platter or dinner size plate.\u00a0 Continue through the pack of ham or until you run out of cream cheese.\u00a0 It usually makes enough for 6-8 people. <\/b><\/p>\n

NEW YEARS CHEER!<\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n

RAIN PERRY <\/b>\u2013 Singer\/songwriter<\/p>\n

\u201cHere’s a recipe I invented in honor of my nephew’s wedding.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

PEONY MARTINI<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"rain<\/a>One part Hendricks Gin, One part *ginger-infused Sake (see below), two parts raspberry lemonade from Trader Joe\u2019s, raspberries to float on top <\/b><\/p>\n

*I always store sliced ginger in sake because you can never use up a whole root before it goes bad. One day I thought “I bet that sake-flavored ginger would be pretty good in a cocktail!\u201d<\/em> <\/b><\/p>\n

Rain Perry\u2019s \u201cBeautiful Tree\u201d is the theme for the CW Network\u2019s \u201cLife Unexpected,\u201d where she also had the surreal pleasure of appearing as herself in a music festival episode alongside Sarah McLachlan and Ben Lee.\u00a0She has released four albums on her own Precipitous Records (2 of which had their CD Release Parties at Zoey’s), as well as writing and touring a solo play about her unusual childhood called Cinderblock Bookshelves: A Guide For Children of Fame-Obsessed Bohemian Nomads. A high point: hearing Nanci Griffith\u2019s sweet voice on Tom Russell\u2019s version of her song \u201cYosemite.\u201d A not-so-high point: when it made the radio EP but not the album. In addition to her career as a singer-songwriter, Rain also promotes concerts in Ojai and teaches Songwriting for Civilians, specializing in classes for people who harbor a secret desire to write songs but need encouragement and tools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
