valentine day came earlier

this morning, ida surprised us with this food of love at the breakfast table. each of us had a french toast with a small heart-shaped piece on top of the rectangular toast. the table was properly laid out with the eating irons and coasters. there were bottles of kaya and peanut butter on the breakfast table.

basically, you need eggs to make french toast. some people add milk, vanilla and cinnamon to the beaten eggs. older bread is actually better for french toast, as it absorbs the egg better without falling apart.

either she could not wait until february 14 to express her appreciation or she has been deeply inspired by something she had seen at her place of work. ida is working at hog's breath at chijmes. or she could not get to sleep - insomnia.

no wonder i heard knocking sounds coming from the kitchen early this morning, at about five o'clock. i thought she was having one of her usual hunger pangs after watching the hong kong show till the wee hours of the morning.

she must have spent more than one hour preparing and cooking the french toast. when i got up at six, she had just gone to bed.
