Warning: You will get fat by simply reading this post!

I am not a health nut, but I have to admit that food/exercise is constantly on my mind. I’ve been dealing with my weight on and off for, well, forever. And I’m working on it. But that’s sort of besides the point of this post. I happened to find a picture of some food in my stash of pictures. Let me tell you a little bit about it. Get out the carpet squares and health insurance cards as you may need triple bypass after reading this post. *Note: PLSF and author(s) shall not be held liable for any injuries/disease that were incurred during the reading of this post.

T’s family runs a restaurant in Michigan. Sandy’s. They specialize in down-home, comfort foods. It’s pretty good in my opinion. I’m sure you’ll hear more about the restaurant and the characters who work there in the future. But today I would like to share a dish that Sandy’s happens to specialize in. It’s a wonderful dish that will fill your tummy and just plain make you happy. Any guesses? I’m talking about French Toast. Mmm…. It’s seriously yummy. It’s usually cooked perfectly which means that extra stuff isn’t necessary. And by extra stuff I mean, butter and excess syrup. You really just need a little bit of syrup to make it that much tastier. Did I mention that it’s topped with powdered sugar? Now, believe me, this isn’t the most health conscious thing on Sandy’s menu. I don’t really know if they even cook anything health conscious. And that’s why everyone loves their food. It’s fattening and delicious.

I was browsing through my old photos today and found one that showcases Sandy’s French Toast. Now, what could compell me to take a picture of French Toast? It’s beauty? The glistening, golden crust? Nope…

Butter. Unholy amounts of butter. T’s Daddy-o has a thing for French Toast, actually food in general. He is by no means a health nut. We always give him a hard time about eating so unhealthy. “Don’t you want to see your grandkids someday?” Questions that should scare him into becoming a health nut. It never works. Now for those of you who are wondering about the butter issue…I have nothing against butter. Butter is a delicious, magical, greasy substance that adds so much joy to our world. I personally don’t put butter on my French Toast, but I don’t think people who do are necessarily bad people. A little butter never hurt anyone. Unless you over do it.

Would you like some French Toast with that Butter Daddy-O?

*Note: The following picture is grotesque and shocking.

Butter overload

No, I didn’t edit this picture in photo shop. There seriously was that much butter on T’s Dads French Toast. I was in total shock when I saw this heart attack go down at the restaurant. It was a while ago, but I knew that I had to snap a picture. It would come in handy someday. Like for the Guinness record of “Most butter ever put on French Toast.” Do they have that record?

I know that his Dad is going to be all, “It wasn’t real butter.” I don’t care what it was, nothing can be good for you in such a large amount. I’m still in shock about this. Who uses that much butter? I later came to find out that ungodly amounts of butter are popular among T’s fam. His sister does the same thing. Where did this stem from? Were you denied butter as a child? My sister used to have a thing for butter too. I’ve herad that she used to eat sticks of butter like a normal person would eat a banana.

I really have nothing else to say about that picture. I need to end this post before I have a coronary.
