Ah, buttered toast. For some reason I rarely think to have buttered toast so it is alway a treat when I do think of it. Naturally, since I always over organize things, I have a precise method of preparation.
1) remove bread and butter from refrigerator (Nice thick white bread and real(!) butter)
2) pop bread in toaster oven.
3) carefully shave thin slices of butter off stick whilst toast is toasting.
4) retrieve toast from toaster and lay out the thin, softened slices of butter so as to cover all of the hot toast.
5) repeat on second slice of toast
6) spread partially melted butter into first slice and repeat on second slice.
Um, um, um!
I never had real butter until I left home. Mom didn't believe in the stuff. I have never purchased margarine since I had my first taste of the real thing.
Now for breakfast I save up the heels of the loaves, toast them and apply a thick layer of peanut butter followed by jelly, jam, or honey. Messy and delicious! The best way to start the day.
