Water Toast
"Food is the only source of human power to work or to think," writes Fannie Farmer in her 1904 book Food and Cookery for the Sick and Convalescent. For a patient suffering from "dilated stomach," she suggests a simple meal of water toast—more or less exactly what it sounds like. This recipe appears here as it reads in Farmer's cookbook.
