It is a little chilly today. Breakfast at the tea table was extra special with the lovely aroma of this pure keemun to gently get me awake and moving. Sugar and milk added, as I always do at breakfast. A very nice cuppa to go with my cheese toast smeared with a little mustard. Does anyone else do that, or was that just something my mom did? It adds a nice little bite to your brekkie when you need it.

I will have to try that! I love cheese toast – this will be a nice addition! Do you use a certain mustard? I was thinking a Dijon mustard would be good. I think toast is my favorite food :) Like tea and baths, toast makes a person feel better.
I just use French’s, but I’m sure lots of different ones would be delicious. As for tea, baths, and toast making people feel better, I could use some of each! I caught a bug and have a ferocious headache. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day…
I discovered a “gourmet” toast last night by experimenting - sourdough bread, almond butter, and a little brown sugar sprinkled on top.
My mom also made cinnamon toast, but not with that namby-pamby cinnamon sugar they sell in grocery stores! You buttered your bread, added a thick layer of brown sugar, a sprinkling of white sugar, and then cinnamon. Put it under the broiler until your brown sugar has made a crackly crust – it is practically a layer of candy on top of the toast now! Now THAT was cinnamon toast! (Mom wasn’t big into health foods! heehee!)
My grandmother was Italian – she would put Italian bread over the flames of the gas stove (because it was big and wouldn’t fit in the toaster) and that was toast when I was growing up! I learned about cheese toast and cinnamon sugar toast from novels and made my own on regular sliced bread from what I read in books!
