Yes, a cookbook for toast. From Portland’s very own Franz Bread. Let’s take a journey together, through the glory of cooking with toast.

Toast points, or triangles, are often preferred to whole slices of toast for creamed dishes, rabbits and other specialties served on toast. To make, first remove crusts from bread slices. Then cut bread diagonally in both directions to make 4 triangles, as shown in sketch. (thank god for the sketch) Toast in broiler as described above. Butter if desired.

Here’s a big surprise:
breakfast

But did you know:
lunch

Apple-Sausage Surprise
1/2 lb. Link sausages
2 tbsp. Water
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
4 thin strips American cheese
Add water to sausage and cook in covered skillet until water evaporates. Remove cover and continue cooking until sausage is brown (about 10 minutes). Drain off all fat. Spread 2 tablespoons of applesauce apiece on 4 slices of hot buttered toast. Top with sausage and cheese strip. Broil slowly until cheese melts.

Get out! This is a SUPER SUPPER!
supper

Oh it’s so hard to choose. Will it be the Mexican Rabbit (there’s no rabbit in it, btw), Sauteed Chicken Livers (oh god, there is liver in it), or the minced oysters?

Why choose?

Too funny! This reminds me of the Home Ec class I took in 7th grade, where the teacher taught us to "cook" such complex dishes as Shit on a Shingle--I mean Chipped Beef on Toast and pie made with a frozen pie shell and canned pie filling.

Thanks for sharing! I love the drawings of Apronlady!
