I love toast. I could live on toast. In fact, occasionally I do just that. Peanut butter on toast. Pate on toast. Cheese on toast. Ham and dill pickles on toast. Gentleman’s Relish on toast. And then the bread runs out. I weep when the bread runs out. My story does not have a happy ending.
Toast must be done in a very special way though. It must be just getting brown. No burning. Slap the marge on straight away so that it melts into the toast - and no skimping - it must spread right up to the edges. What is with people who only butter the middle of the toast? You’re left with dry toast at the edges! Who wants dry toast apart from masochists and perhaps monks who have taken vows to live simple dry-toast lives?
I made homemade bread on Sunday. Not only do I have toast for breakfast, I have kick-ass toast for breakfast. Every day this week. Lots o’ butter, seedless blackberry jam on one slice. Skippy creamy Peanut butter on the other.
Francesca: Margarine?!? Isn’t that a banable offense? Mods? Are you reading this? She wants to put MARGARINE, that demon-spawn spread o’ gangrenous slime on lovely, delicious toast!
I have to settle for warm, soft microwaved bread; toasters are illegal here in the dorm. There is apparently some concern that we’ll burn the building down if we use a toaster. I say we have to be prepared to make such sacrifices for some good toast.
I haven’t even seen toast in a long time. How depressing.
My best kind of toast is to top it with brown sugar. Yum. The brown sugar mixing in with the melting butter/margarine is SOO good. I haven’t had that in a while.
Thanks, Rue, you may have just pushed me back over the edge into the sweetness of my brown sugar toast.
Not that I typically condone engaging in illegal behavior, but you can always hide the toaster when you’re done with it. I had a hot plate in my dorm room - also considered a fire hazard - and I never caught on fire or got caught. They always announced the fire hazard inspection days.
