Milk toast for us was nearly burnt toast -- lots of black spots --
with plenty of butter but never any cinnamon or sugar, and the milk
had to be ice cold. Haven't had it for decades, probably because we
so seldom have fresh milk. Have thought of it from time to time,
especially if I feel hungry near bedtime. -aem
