My west coast brother has informed me that today is "German Butterbrot Day," "National Bakery Day" and "Better Breakfast Day." What an amazing day. In case you haven't guessed, butterbrot means butter bread.
As it happened, my spouse and I celebrated today before we knew it was so special. Maybe it's an instinctual thing. First we took a drive to our favorite Amish bakery (it's not a national bakery but it's baked goods are universally delicious). There we purchased two loaves of my spouse's favorite - oatmeal walnut bread and two loaves of my favorite - cinnamon swirl bread. I assure you that either bread is delicious, especially toasted and liberally buttered. We also bought a loaf of apple bread, just for variety.
And speaking of better breakfasts, my breakfast every morning (unless we go out for brunch) is a slice of cinnamon toast buttered and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar (buttterbrot with a swirl(. Some days I add a hard boiled egg. Of course, my breakfast is accompanied by my wonder spouse's coffee which really is excellent.
Happily I am now well supplied with toast for a month's worth of breakfasts. Although we may go back to the bakery sooner. We will need to get some coffee cake, just for variety you know.
