["Wash lemons. Cut the rind off of all three lemons with a sharp knife - if you get the pith/thicker slice of rind, your curd will be more bitter, like a marmalade. (then juice the lemons. add lemon juice up to 1/2 or 3/4 cup.) You'll end up with about 1 1/2 cups of rind.

Empty into a bowl, and grind up 1/4 cup flaked cereal. I used Honey Bunches of Oats, cause it's what we had in the cupboard.", "Preparation for french toast - eggs and milk in a bowl, whisk til blended well. I used about 5 eggs and 1/2 c milk and 1 tsp vanilla extract for the egg wash.", "Dunk your bread a piece at a time, sopping both sides - I like a quick dunk, because I don't like soggy french toast. I dunked 10 pieces of regular ol'potato bread.", "Lay them out on a cookie sheet, sprinkle one side with the almond/cereal crumbs, and place on hot griddle CRUMB SIDE DOWN! As that side browns, sprinkle the other side with the crumbs, and then flip. When both sides are browned, transfer to a baking or broiling rack in your oven to keep hot while you do the rest of the pieces.", "When complete, top with homemade lemon curd and whipped cream.
