My mum thinks French toast is just bread soaked in egg and sticks everything in the oven at 200°C and I mean everything

The list could go on and on but that would turn this post into a text wall

    My mom was always on weird diets growing up and never let us have real butter and she never seasoned anything. Now my sister and I, adults, have adopted a French-level respect for butter in all things. I am fat but enjoy my food a lot more now that it tastes of food.

      Haha, our moms must have been related. I felt soo rebellious by adding more butter than was called for to things. I still went far too long after that before I discovered that I’m not going to die at the dinner table if i use salt and/ or pepper. eg. I hate green beans. But put some garlic salt on them? Heck yeah.

      Except French people aren’t fat. You are probably eating too much, or exercising too little. I suggest exploring options besides butter (creamy vegetables like pumpkin, creamy fruits like banana, oils, etc.) and getting some exercise insoles and running shoes.

      You can probably cut down pretty easily if you find the right combination. The insoles are key for me.
