It was a snowy day. A good day to stay inside (which we did) and every afternoon at 3, we stop and have a cup of tea. And often a nosh. However, the larder was bare of any cookie and lacking a sufficient amount of butter to make some more, I chose to make an old childhood favorite -- cinnamon toast.
It's an easy treat and goes so well with tea -- a brush of butter, a sprinkle of sugar and a shower of cinnamon and then under the broiler while the sugar melts and caramelizes.It's perfect with a cup of tea on a day when the weather outside . . .
looks like this.
It's Monday and time to visit Sally at Smiling Sally for her Blue Monday. I enjoyed my teatime in the breakfast room while watching the snow fall and the antics of the birds that visit the feeders -- and the statue that resides in the garden.

One need always have a sprinkler of cinnamon sugar in the pantry! Have a good week.
You are living life the way it should be lived. Good for you. Sounds lovely... hot tea and cinnamon toast.
Yum!

I love cinnamon toast and tea! :-) What a lovely way to spend part of the afternoon.
Thanks for stopping by today. Is the photo on your header your home? It's gorgeous.
Stay warm!

Good morning--me again. I told my husband over breakfast this morning that when he retires (in June), I'd like to start afternoon tea. He readily agreed saying he liked the teas he had a child. He went to an English boarding school where tea was an integral part of the day. He did request that I never prepare tapioca pudding--too much of it served at school! Thanks again for your delicious ideas and beautiful presentations.
I grew up on cinnamon toast~ It's been a while:)
I can't tell you enough how much I enjoy your blog ! ! ! My dad lives in Fort Scott and I don't get back as often as I'd like with our winter weather. Your blog keeps me current as to what's happening there. Along with my weekly phone calls. . .your blog gives me the connection I need to family ties.
P.S. My Aunt and Uncle once lived in the house to your North. . .many years ago! Thank you for such a wonderful site and heartfelt memories!

Cinnamon toast sounds good to me about now. Happy Blue Monday.

Happy Blue Monday.
That's real comfort food for a stormy afternoon. When I was a child it was our 'night lunch' before bed.
Yum!!
Martha, I know you're much younger than I am, so I'm delighted to know that cinnamon toast was part of you childhood as well as mine. You've made yours look quite elegant:-). It's amazing such simple things can bring such pleasure. I hope you are having a wonderful Blue Monday. Blessings...Mary
