That site kind of scares me...

We love toast in this house. Wouldn't it be nice if modern toasters did half as good a job as any of pictured old ones? Browning used to be even; now you get 3 or 4 brown stripes and usually one end is either burnt or not browned at all. It seems that the US can't make anything, anymore, unless it has the ability to fire and/or explode. The 21st century should could use another set of Popeil Brothers.

My family's toaster looks like this one, except without any ornamentation

...and carbs in general.

mmmm, luscious, dairy butter... aaaaaaarrrgghhh

I have that on my shelf, no lie. When I am toasting however, I tend to reach for one of three things: luscious dairy butter of which you spoke; cream cheese, preferably chive, or peanut butter, banana optional. Not necessarily in that order. In fact, cream cheese is last.

Please note I am not a jelly person. Unless there was no other spreadable in the house.

Don't think I won't turn this thread into a place where people can talk about their toast.

This morning I made mini-quiche for my nephew who is currently reading a Simpsons book. I will make some toast right now. I have the grainy bread. Yum.

bumping so everyone can share.

Here's the toaster at my place, it still has the cloth insulated cord which by some miracle isn't frayed. It makes perfect toast, but only thin factory sliced bread will work, even English muffins get stuck sometimes.

Thanks for bumping this thread, I missed it before. Toasty ecards on winging their way across the country.

Edit: MMmmmm.... Tea and Toast.  Teapots

That was a waste of my internet connection. give it back

Agreed.

I can never understand how, no matter what you pay for a toaster, in a few months the thing starts messing up.

This side is too dark
This side is too light.
My toast is never just right.
