wow. put two highly creative people in a room with a toaster and - magic! took me back to my childhood in Covina, CA and a neighbors house, cant remember their names but I was friends with their kids and would go to eat there occasionally. EVERY meal, breakfast, lunch or dinner, toast was served. and I can still taste it. No toast I have ever made tasted like theirs. must have been their 1950's toaster, or the bread which was plain white, prob Wonder Bread. Or the butter? I dont know, only that is the best toast ever and I can still taste it.
Thanks, Tabby! Other people's toast can be an amazing thing, especially when you're a kid. I had the same experience. Probably also Wonder bread. But it's impossible to recreate, somehow.
You two are hysterical! I cracked up throughout the piece. In fact, Tonya, you might consider Toast as a topic for another Smorgasbord down the road. I started remembering toastly things as I read this. Just a delightful way to start the day ... literally and literately. Thank you both.
Superb collaborative piece on one of my favorite childhood (& adult) staples! I learned more than I would have thought possible. My preferred mode is with butter & garlic salt & I, too, ache for the toasters of yore which did their jobs admirably. The orange wires weren't just for theater!

I love that idea!
Food for thought, if you'll pardon the expression.
Thanks, Sue! Toast is a universal thing, isn't it? We speak the language of toast...
Yes we do. Food, the essence of life and creativity. Without it, we'd have nothing to say ... right?
I'm going to have some toast soon, after walking the hound. May slather it with some butter - maybe fake butter - and some jam from Kansas.

The orange wires are where the magic happens!
I love this Fun piece. Love the colorful toasters Tonya!
Thanks, Jim!
