The Thrill of Toast and Tea

Tweet

Toasters and I have a mixed history. I got my first one many years ago when I had a small kitchenette area in my parents home. It was seldom used. While I had an electric teapot, a fridge, a microwave and a table and chairs - my kitchen area was arranged much like a maze, there was storage in that room too, and most meals were shared, so that was alright, but I had my own toaster, all the same. An inexpensive off brand, but it did serve me well. Until I lit a fire in it that is. A piece of toast got stuck and by the time I noticed it, it was on fire. Well, even though I scrubbed the insides of it , it remained somewhat charred and while it still worked I never really trusted it. So I gave in today and bought a new one. I must be getting old because I find it really exciting -- it's red and has setting for thaw and bagel. So I had to try it out tonight along with my green tea. Ah thrilling indeed. Photo, Mine
