Who messed with the TOASTER!


Because I'm usually doing about five things at one time...

I popped some bread in the toaster and headed out to the balcony to check my flowers.

"Mom, I smell smoke."

"I'm not even cooking anything! We're having tuna fish sandwiches for dinner."

"Oh. I still smell smoke."

Assuming the Spawn was just being difficult, I waited until I heard the toast pop up and headed back in.

"What the hell??"

Plumes of smoke were coming from the charred, black squares that were sticking out of the toaster.

"Who MESSED with the toaster??"

The real question is, why is this even a setting on the toaster? What brain decided scorched and nearly on fire was desirable?

Is this one of those.... It'll put some hair on your chest moments?

The Spawn was laughing as I chucked the charred little husks into the trash and a poof of smoke wafted out at us.

"Wasn't me..."

"Mmmm... Hmmmm.... It's *never* you."

I laughed and put two more pieces of bread into the toaster.

And forgot to change the setting......

Happy Wednesday!

    Yum... White bread. What is it about burnt toast that appeals to you? Is it the crunch? Or taste?
Well, any toast has to be crunchy. I like things lightly burnt generally, or caramelised as I like to describe it. I like the slight bitterness it adds to the flavour. I've also often wondered if I have a carbon deficiency.......

But your white bread........i find it very papery and sweet. Mind, you guys put icing sugar on french toast!! What's that aw aboot??

    Toast to has to be watched I like my toast more or less just warm very lightly toasted. If it over toasted it's trash as for burnt I sorry for you there now the house smells of burnt toast.
I also like my toast lightly toasted. I always have the toaster set between 1 and 2.... It has never failed me before. I blamed it on ghosts.

This toast was not edible. It looked like someone set a sponge on fire and let it sit out to dry. I can't even imagine why this is a setting on a toaster.

    I bet the Spawn really got a kick out of you burning another round of toast. The question isn't whether or not it will put hair on your chest, it's WHY would you want to put hair on your chest?
Oh, she laughed. And took a picture of it with her phone. LOL Personally, I don't want hair on my chest, I think it looks perfectly nice just the way it is. I'll totally pass on the hair.....

I've had this toaster for like 7 years... This is the first time I've ever burned the toast! LOL Nobody ever really messes with the settings, it's a mystery.
