why this as a chapter title??? The phoenix was reputed to build its nest from cinnamon and cassia. The Hebrew Bible makes specific mention of the spice many time
Possible interpretation #1: 'her mother prepared toast slathered in butter, cinnamon, and sugar while towels warmed in the dryer.' Astair is relating her maternity to her mother's. In other words, she's thinking of how she was raised, and how she herself raises her children. (Also, fun fact, Nomannic (cinnamon backwards) is the name of a civilian transport ship in Star Wars, and is also an extremely rare name sometimes given to children (possibly simply in lieu of the fact the parents like cinnamon).
