I was unaware that french toast was a challenge for some people, but not every one grew up with a mother talking about time spent in the country with her Cajun grandmother or the fact pain perdu means “lost bread” and bread that isn’t stale just won’t do. Besides French toast is best had as Saturday morning treat and what is bread at the end of week? It’s stale.

Another thing from my mother passed down from other mothers; keeping aloe vera plants. They bring a spot of colour to a room and try as you might when you cook or bake at some point you’re gunna get burned. Or if you live under the sun.
It’s almost a metaphor for life, keeping and nurturing a something for soothing pain because at some point you will get hurt.
