When I first discovered hot buttered toast I caught a glimpse of heaven. I was 15 and visiting friends. I had only been allowed stork margerine at home and had grown to tolerate it. But that was a poor reflection of the real thing. Now I knew heaven: Standing by the toaster, with tea in a mug and hot, butter-dripping toast.

Heaven on toast
When I first discovered hot buttered toast I caught a glimpse of heaven. I was 15 and visiting friends. I had only been allowed stork margerine at home and had grown to tolerate it. But that was a poor reflection of the real thing. Now I knew heaven: Standing by the toaster, with tea in a mug and hot, butter-dripping toast.
Grew up in the 60s and 70s. Butter was seem as a luxury not to be wasted.
