Don't Toast & Post (1 Viewer)

Aaaaaiiiieeeee.
While attempting to multi-task, ie. Watch the History Channel on TV, read about the latest UK government foul-up in the Khaleej Times, download Faith Hill's Greatest Hits to my MP3 player and getting engrossed in the Diorama Section of the forum - I'VE ONLY WENT AND BURNED THE TOAST I WAS GOING TO HAVE WITH SOME BACON FOR MY MIDNIGHT SCOOBIE-SNACK.
The reek is so bad, that I wouldn't be surprised if it sets off the fire alarms and this hotel gets evacuated. Mind you, if that happens, then maybe my company will be banned from ever putting me into this dump ever again.

So please remember todays lesson boys and girls......Don't ever try and toast & post simultaneously.

Right, back to the diorama section.
Cheers

H,

Quick! Make the most of a bad situation. Use the black, smoke filled room , to add to your dioramas and snap some photos.

Enjoy your bacon on...er....bacon

Trust me on this Simon, (very) well-done bacon and tomato ketchup just ain't the same without the toast. I ought to have known better cos I did the same thing this morning but put it down to a pint of Guinness too many last night. The auto cut-out on the toaster's gassed.
Gonna scoot soon cos The history Channel's running an unmissable programme about Lucille Ball (believe it or not).
Cheers, Kof, Kof.

Toast and bacon umm umm good. Me thinks you have given me an idea for dinner tonight. See some benefit has come from your suffering burnt toast smell. Kind-of the opposite of bread baking.

Glad to have been of some service. I repeated the exercise but this time without the burned reek. Even added some cheese to the toast and bacon. Yum Yum.
OMG, I can just see this thread turning into one of those culinary ones that ends up in a heated exchange of views cos someone inadvertently (or otherwise) insults someone else's national cuisine.

I just finished cleaning up the kitched after preparing two bacon, turkey, toast and pepper jack cheese sandwiches. Man they were good. I even had a piece of cherry pie after. Not a vegie in sight. No wonder I had four stents put in my heart on the day of my 50th birthday.

Aaaahaaa.....Well now, that really depends on what kind of mince pies we're discussing Bobby m'lad. If its the kind of pies you can get in Dundee, which is a city on the east coast of Scotland who's claim to fame has to be that The Heid spent his college years there learning how to be a waster, and come to think of it so did William "Braveheart" Wallace according to legend. Instead of spending his evenings studying the arcane mysteries of differential calculus and suchlike, Heid could be found propping up the bar in the Clepington Arms studying the even more arcane mysteries of Shona the barmaid’s thought processes, and trying to figure out how he could persuade her to take him home. But I digress as usual.
Okay so where was I? Oh yeah, mince pies in Dundee have a shortcrust pastry outer shell and are filled with savory minced Aberdeen Angus sirloin (or ground beef as you guys call it) and scrummy beef gravy - well, so the manufacturers would have us believe anyway. Whereas Christmas mince pies, at least in the UK, are something completely different, being filled with a mixture of dried fruit (raisins, sultanas, orange zest, apples, etc.) and sweet spices. I think they're a hangover from the middle ages.
Told you guys that I'm magic at pub quizzes.....
Think I'll go an' put on some toast......!!!
