The Scent of Buttered Toast

I was just walking up the stairs in my office building, and I swear I just smelled warm buttered toast. Which made me think of my mother because she always eats toast for breakfast.

Lightly crispy buttered toast is truly a comfort food for me — but one I don’t often think of, except when I am sick and trying to keep something, anything, down.

But for just a moment, in the grey office stairway, I was reminded of my childhood and my mother, with the ghost scent of toast.
