Houston, we have a toaster oven!
:-)
They were on sale at the Family Dollar for $8! Steve said "Get it! We'll put it away in case of emergencies after we get the oven fixed!
I'm toasting a piece of bread in it now. Seems to be working! Gonna try cookies next...
Congratulations!
I did a LOT of baking in one of those when I was in Germany. We weren't supposed to have anything but microwaves...but we didn't have a chow hall on base, so people kinda looked the other way when it came to things like toaster ovens and hot plates.
You can make bread and brownies and cookies in 'em...in very tiny amounts, of course! Even broiled a steak or two in it.
When Steve and I first got married, all we had was a toaster oven and a two-burner countertop grill and we did GREAT! My in-laws finally got us an oven, but we really didn't NEED it. I baked birthday cakes in it and everything. It was a Black and Decker. Sadly, at some time or another, it passed on to it's great reward up in our attic here...we tried it when the oven broke.
This one is pretty tiny...but seems to work just fine, for $8!
Finding out might be dangerous...
Maybe Guido catches the Evil Overtoaster toasting the toaster oven.
Evenin' there evellybody! [sip]
Boy... ya chatty bunch over the weekend. I think I'm mostly caught up.
I continue to admire your tagline!
Will it hold a large wreath? I'd tried using the gigundo suction cup type hook, but after a few days it fell off. I'll have to keep a lookout for the magnet type. We always put our wreath on the outside of the storm door, now. We had a lovely plastic boxwood wreath literally melt when it was on the steel door behind the glass storm door. It gets vey hot because the front door faces due west.
Anyone else following that fire in Chicago? Gosh...that has to be about the scariest thing anyone could experience, especially post 9/11.
She walked into the apartment they'd made plans to occupy and she just couldn't do it, so she moved in with George, who had an apartment at the opposite end of the rectory, that Granny and Granddaddy had been staying in whenever they'd come to visit.
When I saw her again, later that summer, she said she was really depressed at not being able to be at her own Parish and near her friends. She knew that there was no way she'd have been able to stay there by herself, the neighborhood had been deteriorating for years, but she still felt that keen sense of loss, and she couldnt' make George understand that she just wasn't interested in getting involved in his Parish.
What a blessing for your neighbor that your kids like to visit.
You correctin' me or Captain Kirk?
Captain Kirk, I believe.
Didn't this come up before?
It ain't polite to talk about muh family if'n yuh don't ping me...
Hehehe....I'm correcting whoever it was that wrote it...splitting infinitives like that in public!
yeah, but some of the branches wanna grow back intuh the trunk...
gotta call from the hi skrool... asked me tuh teach special ed tuhmorruh... I said yes... what the hell wuz I thinkin'?...
actually, the only reason I said yes was because the teacher I'm subbin' fer is takin' her boy tuh the MEPS station... headed fer boot camp... least I could do...
What's a little grammar when you can make warp speed?
The cookies turned out vey good! Just sugar cookies from a tube, but the kids love 'em. The house has that cookie-baking smell!
