Why do toasters always have a setting that burns toast to a horrible crisp no one would ever eat? Does anyone deliberately chomp on "chunk of carbon"?

I wonder how soon the 2nd Harry Potter movie's going to be on p2p stuff... or if it's on already? Did J.K. ever get around to getting the fifth book out? (Quick Amazon check) Nope. Slacker. She’s going to miss the bus. Amazon is scary, now that I have paypal / online funds transfer again. Danger! One click shopping! Run, boy! It'll gitcha if'n yer not careful!

A: Boo-bees!

10:45 appointment for the epi on Monday, now. That means I take my pill at 9:45 that morning

Got my check deposited... They had a big honkin' spread of punch and snacks... Sakes... there's a way for me to come inside more often..."hmm... maybe I should just check my account balance and have a *COOKIE*". Some sort of party? I don't know, but I got a smiley face sugar cookie out of the deal...a nice reward for tossing my paycheck into my account. I almost (but not quite) regret getting direct deposit now.

Took a delicious hot bath and am now relaxing a wee bit, curled up with a good book, soft lights, and thoughts of my sweetheart. We got to talk for a bit tonight, and it was surely the highlight of my day. a quick pop to the news sites, and then back to frozen text on the page. I'm sending my sweetheart thoughts of mint oreos.

Eek! Well, I guess that's the answer, then!

I wonder what the allure is?

"They" say burnt toast is good for the digestion, especially if you have a tummy ache ('cos it gots activated charcoal n' all)....but I've never developed a taste for it. I do love a perfectly even shade of rather dark brown when it comes to toast, though....a difficult feat to achieve without burning. (And, incidentally, I find that I need that "Burned to a Cinder" setting when I toast a bagel...and sometimes even an extra trip through the toaster...just to get it sufficiently toasted!)

P.S. I love that little Newtie pic....but I wanna be able to roll over it with my mouse to make him say "Merr?"!!

hee... they won't let me embed sounds in lj posts any more... plus, I've yet to get a good "mer?" wav file yet. :) you'll have to use your imagination for the time being.

I had an animated version of tha tnewt as an icon for a little while. a bouncing spazzy one that used to crack me up... I don't know what happened to it, though.

If I get a tummyache, it's ginger for me.

I agree on the bagel side of it... I'm glad that I have a toaster-oven... I can brown the sliced side, and leave the curves a bit lighter.

apparently, some members of the geriatric crowd enjoy the carbon block.

Happy to help validate your cooking craft. :)
