#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #November28 #BirthdayCohort with @KarenGillan & @JonStewart & ALL the @FamousBirthdays) on #FrenchToastDay | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
Holidays Calendar explains a lot about #FrenchToast in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
French Toast (sometimes #AliterDulcia #AnotherSweetDesert, #ArmeRitter #PoorKnight, #PainPerdu #LostBread, #AmericanToast) ... isn't the kind you put in a #Toaster, so it's sort of dangerous for 'enterprising young children' to hear about French #Toast if they don't know that you don't put milk & eggs in the toaster!
The word “Toast (\ #Toasted #Toasting #Toasts #ToasterOven #RoastyToasty #Toasty)” is built on ancient words that mean "to Dry" (the phrase(s) #RaiseAToast or #DrinkAToast etc. are from the Spiced Toast that would Flavor the Drink that the #ToastMaster would Dedicate to #ToastToTheHealth of the Person-of-the-Hour (y'know, Man-of-the-Hour or (more often) the Woman-of-the-Hour)).
I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday' ...
