Tea and Toast

Of all the things I miss most in the world of food it's tea and toast. Tea was cast aside years ago when I gave up milk and tea just doesn't taste right without milk. Then it was tea and its other brother coffee that I had to say goodbye to for the sake of my well being.The last and hardest to bare was the demise of toast. Wheat and yeast were playing havoc with my insides so off to try rice bread with wild yeast. That tepid love affair lasted for a while but the wild yeast had me in it's grip too, so goodbye to all that as well.
What are we left with? I'll tell you what we are left with! Fond memories that's what! The thought of a hot cup of tea and two slices of buttery brown toast can bring on tears now that I can't have it. If I was the weepy type. A nice crunchy Ryevita, healthy though it might be is nothing more than a chore to eat. And the bits get stuck in your teeth! And stuff on top slides off. Aaaargh....Ever tried hot mushrooms on Ryevita? Don't; or anything else hot or moist.
Tea and toast was what you had to eat when you were getting better from any ailment. I had it after childbirth which is not of course an ailment but should be. You certainly ail while you are working through it!
Tea and toast was love on a plate. Almost as good at love as chocolate. Now there's food for a blog. Next time! Perhaps if I keep writing about this stuff I won't feel the loss.
