* Cinnamon toast made with seeded rye bread is at least as good as when made with white bread. I tried this on a whim: the bread was already in the toaster when I remembered I have a jar of cinnamon sugar.

I have a jar of cinnamon sugar because, sometime in the last few years, Penzey's was giving it away free with purchase, and I needed enough other things to qualify. I wouldn't buy cinnamon sugar--you're paying for convenience, because sugar is a lot cheaper than cinnamon--but it's convenient, and I left the shaker lid on because I'm only ever going to sprinkle it on things, not want to measure or use a lot at a time.

* cattitude made potato leek soup for supper tonight, and it was very good. There's enough left for another meal, so that's supper either tomorrow or Wednesday depending on whether we want to cook tomorrow.

Cinnamon toast is a great idea. I haven't had it in years. I think I'll do it next time I make bread.

I do like leek and potato soup!

Oh, I haven't had seeded rye bread since the Before Times! Perhaps I shall try to obtain or even make some. Thank you for the reminder. :)

I once made some french toast with garlic bread made by Jack. We ate it with real maple syrup and it was astonishingly good.

That's worth knowing; thank you.

I had no idea you could buy cinnamon sugar.

I think I've seen it on sale elsewhere, but that might be a vague memory of seeing it on the shelves at Penzey's when I was choosing between kinds of cinnamon.
