Buttered toast with some garlic powder was one of my go-to "I'm broke as hell, but at least this is tasty" foods.
Sounds like a "it's 2am and I'm stoned" thing. So sometimes, yes.
When I lived at my dad's a long time ago now he got furious at me for eating straight slices of bread with butter on them instead of making a sandwich.
I loved that shit and I'm sure I still would but that experience kinda killed it for me.
That all depends on if I smoke weed or not.
Butter that toast. Make super rich hot chocolate. Use some half & half in it, even. Dip that buttery toast in the hot chocolate.
that sounds wonderful but coffee instead of cocoa (i eat chocolate twice a year and it must be the fanciest. i am not high maintenance)
Wait, we're supposed to restrain ourselves??
What is restraint?
Me not telling you what I really think about you.
(just kidding, though) <3

I remember fresh bread and butter. Yum.
Not anymore though because my body decided it makes sense to attack itself when I eat the tiniest particle of gluten. Celiac disease. Ugh.
Potatoes and butter.
I'd probably pick bread as my favorite food, but at one point doc had me try going gluten free to rule out some possibilities. No gluten issue, but it really made me value a nice potato! Potato is just underground bread.
Yes but don't forget the salt there.
I love potatoes. I used to talk down on them too. Not anymore. Meat and potatoes, or beans and potatoes whatever you want.
As someone who was diagnosed at 43, I relate so much to this comment. Most things, buttered toast included, aren't worth the weeks of pain. Although, I have seriously considered a Dick's Deluxe burger on a couple of occasions.
You probably know this stuff better than me since you're coeliac, but just in case you don't: try the Loopy Whisk's bread recipes. I have a couple of coeliac family members and these are by far the best results I've gotten for making gluten free bread for them
OP probably high when writing the post
No need to be high, hot buttered toast is, in fact, amongst, if not the, tastiest creation on the planet. It's got carbs and it's got fat, a combination which is almost as temoting as sugar and fat.
You also sprinkle some stuff on it for variety, cinnamon, curry, cumin, sprinkles, sugar, etc.
Have you heard of garlic?
Yes, raw garlic needs to be cooked and the powdered salt just isn’t the same. Now it’s no longer “just sprinkling” something on if you need to manipulate it first. Even if you need to chop it.
garlic only needs to be cooked for babies :P, but it can be part of the toasting process too.
I melt the butter in a pan, put the garlic in with it. Then use the bread and soak up the butter/garlic mix, before sprinkling paprika on top and throwing it in the oven.
I went through a butter toast phase when i was about 10. It started as just 1 slice after school. Then, it was 2. Then, 3. Then 1-2 every hour before bed until my mom finally put a stop to it. You could smell that the downstairs neighbors were crack heads, but i dont think i ever had a contact high to trigger the butter toast phase. I just liked toast for the toast of it.
Let me tell you all about a little thing called buttered toast dipped in hot coffee. Hell of a breakfast.
Im going to go make some toast right now
Come to France and try toasted baguette with salted butter, it won't be a phase.
i used to work next door to a bakery. the owner/baker grew up (and learned to bake) in belgium. she imported her flour. probably still does. it was my first job and i still miss that summer sometimes. Tina and I still do coffee once a month.
Yes, but with real bread.
It's super delicious and I feel fulfilled after 2 or 3 slices.
Not only real bead, the kicker is good yeast, there is a yeast that gives this Great Taste of bread, it's hard to find. But some yeast is vastly superior to others.
Yep, i sometimes bake bread and using different sourdoughs (which is wild yeast) changes the taste considerably. And using only industrial yeast is immediately noticeable.
Yes, but only if I squeeze a bit of honey on top too. Honey toast is where it’s at.
Even just butter melting on warm fresh bread. I love my breadmaker for that, it's so simple, cheap, and easy. Throw the ingredients in (flour, salt, yeast, sugar, water and margarine) and walk away. 3 hours later you're scarfing it down while the whole house smells like freshly baked bread.
