As this poem has become somewhat of a tradition, and we are experiencing our first snowfall, it’s only right I should share this once again!!  Enjoy!

OJ French Toast
I still don’t have the answer
To a question asked
So long ago
Why do you buy milk, eggs and bread
When someone mentions snow?

Does this sinfully sweet
Breakfast fare
Make us become a little manic
If we don’t get the ingredients
Do we all begin to panic?!

Do the slices of bread
With their cinnamon swirl
Remind you of riding a sled?

Or the soft golden butter
Melting over the top
Remind you of warm days ahead?

Do the fluffy white flakes
Falling down from the sky
Remind you of powdered confection?

Or the syrup that’s oozing
Dripping over the sides
Remind you of sweet perfection?

I want to know the simple truth
About this French Toast story
I’m pretty sure it’s not just snow
That gives it all its glory

 

Here’s the original story that asked the burning question: What Is It About Snow & French Toast?

Somewhere, buried upon your dish
Is something a bit crispy, but so delish

Yet, in the center, it’s soft, warm and chewy
And what comes next, makes them quite gooey

No need for the butter, bananas will do
Add one scoop of vanilla, or maybe two

Drizzle with chocolate, drizzle some more
Imagine, now, what your mouth has in store

Delectable sweetness, together, blended
Bite after bite, they all taste so splendid

Don’t hurry through, delight in each bite
Perhaps, we should’ve made more, in hindsight

No matter, there’s always tomorrow to savor
Waffles and ice cream, and their wonderful flavor

I wrote this in 2014.  Today is #NationalFrenchToastDay.  I thought I’d share it again  🙂


I still don’t have the answer
To a question asked
So long ago
Why do you buy milk, eggs and bread
When someone mentions snow

Does this sinfully sweet
Breakfast fare
Make us become a little manic
If we don’t get the ingredients
Do we all begin to panic

Do the slices of bread
With their cinnamon swirl
Remind you of riding a sled

Or the soft golden butter
Melting over the top
Remind you of warm days ahead

Do the fluffy white flakes
Falling down from the sky
Remind you of powdered confection

Or the syrup that’s oozing
Dripping over the sides
Remind you of sweet perfection

I want to know the simple truth

I’m pretty sure it’s not just snow
That gives it all its glory
