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?

With this wonderful snowstorm, and all the crazies out yesterday, I just had to reshare this poem from 2014 🙂

What Is It About Snow & French Toast?

The weatherman says we’re in for a major snow event…start your engines.  You know you have to get to the grocery store for the most important three items on the list…milk, eggs & bread aka French Toast.  What is it about snow that makes everyone crave this irresistibly delicious breakfast food?

Of course I’m kidding.  But I really do want to know why people panic when a weather event is announced. It’s weather, it happens every day.  And it’s not like we haven’t been through it before.  The media hype is just that, hype.  Unless you’re a transplant from Hawaii, most Northerners know how to handle the snow.  You may even get a day off from work or school.

Look at it this way, it’s Winter.  It’s going to snow.  It’s going to sleet.  Put on your Winter coat, go outside, build a snowman, have a snowball fight, flop in the snow and make a snow angel.  Be a kid again.  Then wait for the roads to clear, the deliveries made and then go buy your milk, eggs & bread.  Make your French Toast and be sure to invite me over.  I’ll bring the syrup. 😉
