Toast. The morning after such a rollicking good time the night before, and rich food, what does one breakfast on? Well, this one had a perfectly toasted slice of honey-wheat bread spread with bits of butter and Rare Hawaiian Organic White Honey. I was remembering the biscuits and honey at Madonna Inn, and recalled the delicious jar of honey I had in my pantry...

Toast is such a simple comfort food that has been around for centuries. It's something we take for granted. The ancient Egyptians created bread about 6000 years ago, and toasting it was a means of preservation. There is an old French joke about the English which says that the English invented toast as the only way to butter bread in their climate. The modern day word "toast" actually comes from Old French and was first coined in 1398.
