French toast is Paradise

In the heart of Paris, where dreams are dipped in gold
At Natixis we savor, stories sweetly told.
Twenty hours each week, a rhythm so divine,
In back office chambers, where ambitions align.
Morning brings its treasure, with syrup's sweet cascade,
French toast on our tables, exquisitely made.
Golden, soft, and tender, a taste of pure delight,
A hint of cinnamon, a morning's first light.
 

Through ledgers and numbers, our expertise we flaunt,
In finance's grand ballet, it's the sweet life we want.
From the buzz of the bourse to the Seine's gentle flows,
We balance our days between highs and repose.
There's more to this city than just toast and spreads,
Evenings bring French fries, golden and crisp, as our stories are said.
In cafes and bistros, where laughter meets night,
We indulge in these pleasures, in the city's soft light.
 

In each slice of French toast, with its golden beam,
Is the taste of success, a financier's dream.
And in every French fry, crisp and perfectly spiced,
Is the joy of our lifestyle, extravagantly priced.
Here in Paris, with our work and our play,
We relish each moment, in our uniquely French way.
With syrup and toast, and evenings so bright,
We live our Parisian dream, from morning till night.

 

tbh I like that fake American shit more, it's not as sweet and runny imo as the Canadian stuff, but the real deal Canadian stuff is good too occasionally.

tbh I like that fake American shit more, it's not as sweet and runny imo as the Canadian stuff, but the real deal Canadian stuff is good too occasionally.

I collected sap in the snow covered forests of Canada for a few months. We collected 16,000 gallons of sap and boiled it down to 400 gallons of maple syrup and put it in kegs. We had authentic fresh maple syrup every day. We put it on everything. You could say I'm a bit of a maple syrup aficionado. I love the stuff.

What produces maple sap is when the temperature goes above and below 32 degrees F over and over again. The more it fluctuates, the more sap is produced in the trees and the taps just go crazy. We tapped the trees and used a bucket system mainly to collect the sap. Sometimes it would snow a lot and we had to wear snowshoes to get around as the snow was so deep.

French toast is not paradise, I remember I once had it as a kid and then threw up, maybe the milk was bad or something.
