pink toast, it’s a phenomenon
My status update on the Book-o-Faces said, “is pink toast. Yum.” and I posted that figuring people would know what the hell ‘pink toast’ was. For some odd reason, I decided to ‘google’ ‘pink toast’ and see what came up. Uh, apparently myself and the waitress who offered me pink toast a billion years ago are the only two people who know what pink toast is (well, my Dear Other Half does too, but that’s only because of me).
I can tell you that it is not:
a band from Ohio
party inspirations
cute shit on Flickr/Etsy (but, you can totally buy me a slice of pink toast)
**
Around this house, pink toast is simply toast with jelly (strawberry being the best, but the jelly doesn’t *have to* be pink) and with or without butter.
I did find a couple variations that involved toast while I was searching the interwebs.
PINK TOAST
Mix milk with small amount of red food coloring. Have children paint the bread and then then toast it. Put out the strawberry jam to go with it! (Kid’s Activities)
and
(Pink toast = whole wheat toast with strawberry cream cheese) (Bailey Boo and Monkey, Too!)
I also found a few random signs that it could also be poached salmon on toast, but yuck and why!?
**
Do *you* call it ‘pink toast’? What did you think ‘pink toast’ meant before you read the post? Do you have any information about the origins of the term? Are you a waitress or diner cook and use the term yourself?

soup’s up & pink floyd teaches about education
I made soup today.
1lb or 2.5 C cooked lentils
3/4 C cooked brown rice
3/4 C thinly sliced carrot
1 leek, thinly sliced (about a cup)
1/2 a medium sized onion, diced
garlic (I’d suppose as much as you like, I would have used 3 or 4 cloves, but saved it for another meal and used 1 TBS of garlic powder instead)
12 oz mushrooms sliced (any mushrooms will do; I had crimini)
4 C veggie broth
3 C water (or all your liquid could be broth)
1/2 TBS sea salt
1 tsp cracked pepper
olive oil
saute onion, leek & garlic in olive oil. when those are almost translucent, toss in carrots, mushrooms, salt & pepper and cover & continue to cook all that down.
add the rest and bring to a boil. serve with some yummy bread, toast or crackers – i’m making me a sandwich on the side.
enjoy.

Elijah had a revelation about education:
Elijah: hey, what’s that song, ‘we don’t need no education’?
Me: I’ll look it up for you.
E: but, we do need education!
E: (after watching the video) okay, maybe not that kind of education!
thank you, Pink Floyd.

I was unawares about a cult phenomenon around ‘alot’ until my Dear Other Half showed me the light and I read this blog post. I knew that it is quite common for people to misspell ‘a lot’, but I had no idea that the misspelling has been personified in a sense… The Internet is a beautiful place.
*******************
thank you to those who made my birthday week great; especially when it wasn’t so great & i needed to cry.
*******************
hoping this week holds all kind of greatness.
