I gave up bread. Too many carbs. I really miss toast. Especially rye toast with a big glob of Kerry Gold butter. Sob. I was in a choir up until about this time last year. We were rehearsing a song with the word "bread." I found it hard to pronounce as a one-syllable word, wanting to pronounce it as "ba-red." Reminded me of a Weight Watchers (or WW) commercial with Oprah Winfrey, where she was promoting a diet that allows you to eat bread. Oprah said "And I love ba-red!" |

Our toaster was malfunctioning and it was time for a new one. Last weekend we went to Target and I bought one for $12.
Works as advertised. $12, incredible.

I love toast; it's such a simple, brilliant, delicious idea. We were poor, I used to have beans on toast at least 3-4 times a week. I had beans on toast for lunch today. I still love it. ;-) I hope it pleases you to know that this American has a jar of blood orange marmalade (made by me) that I am about to open. Blood orange marmalade on your toast is arguably the best thing you can put on top of it. Seedless raspberry jam AINEC |

Oooh, my wife and I would make jelly from wild picked berries in northern Ontario. The blueberry jelly was fantastic but the wild raspberry jelly was out of this world. In both cases we would opt for jelly over jam or preserves, just based on experience/preference.

Is it able to communicate adequately with your refrigerator, garage door opener and washing machine? I recently bought a device that lets me know if my garage door is open, but to see the little red light, I have to get off my duff and enter the room where the alert thing is located. If instead, I ask Alexa, "is my garage door open," she tells me to ask my vacuum cleaner. The joke's on her, because my vacuum cleaner only keeps track of what groceries I need to buy. (It passes this on to my ice maker). |

My toaster is in a huff because the refrigerator and stove were talkin' smack about toast the other night. The microwave attempted to step in and act as ombudsman, but the two sides remained intransigent.

Almost every day since a kid, but now it's whole wheat. A couple times a week use Ezekiel bread or english muffin for more substance, like a half pc. the stuff is really dense.

Bread's already been cooked. I'll be dag-gummed if I'm going to cook it again. Another Berg reference? "I like refried beans. That's why I wanna try fried beans, because maybe they're just as good and we're just wasting time. You don't have to fry them again after all." |

In both cases we would opt for jelly over jam or preserves, just based on experience/preference. My hunnie's stepmom makes the best prickly pear jelly. It is amazingly good on toast. I have collected the fruits many times and have washed them to remove all the little spines, and I gotta say the end results are way worth the injuries sustained in the preparation  |

Oh well, don't take it too hard: you probably play guitar better'n I do.
We each have our own, unique skill set...
I was one of those jerks as well, but not anymore. It's not about the lbs., it's about the A1C. I lost 20 lbs, which was fine, but the main thing is that I got the blood glucose number going the right direction. I'm no longer prediabetic. But now my pants are too big. Oh well. However, it is said, and I believe it to be true, that you have to treat yourself once in awhile or you'll begin to backslide. So I'll have a big plate of fettuccine with garlic bread once in awhile. |

Might feel a little "icky", but it'll get ya lookin' dapper again.

You think you can waltz in here and use words like ombudsman and intransigent and expect us to just sit here?  |
