Up early and starving! Out to the kitchen to make toast with butter and lots of salt. That’s right. I’m not ashamed to say, “I love salt.” I also love sugar, fried foods, cold beer, cream in my coffee and lots of cheese on everything. You only live once so I’m enjoying every sensual tasty bite and gulp!
I start to slice the bread and wait a minute, there’s the coolest bread Smiley yet, complete with bulbous nose. I toast it, butter it (a bit of better butter makes a better Smiley) and take its cute picture. 30 or 40 pictures later (gotta get the light just right),I decide I’ll save him for the Smiley museum (dip him in shellac and he’ll last forever) so I slice another piece to eat.
BINGO, another Smiley. I toast it, butter it and take its cute picture. 
I also snap pictures of Smiley #2 with Smiley #1, the Happy Couple.
Saved #1 and sliced #2. Then, like I was living a charmed life, Smiley #3 is there in slice number 3. That’s like the perfecta, trifecta of Smiley Slicing! Makes me think 2011 is going to be a very good Smiley year! So I photographed the three of them together, and baby makes three.
Loving toast. Loving life. Hope you are, too.
