I can't sleep so I made toast. I live in a family where toast opinions are divided, some like just warm bread, others to a crisp. So you always have to be careful and calm and remember to check the toasters setting before using it. Our toaster doesn't toast on anything under 7, so it's between 8-10, 8 burns it and 10 burns the house down. You have to position the knob (can't believe I'm saying that seriously) between 7 and 8 for actual toast. Today my toast burnt, which i don't mind. Sometimes burnt toast is good. It certainly is crunchy and with enough butter and vegemite it's almost great.
On that note I have a little bit of a toaster habit. Everytime I cook toast, I wait for it to finish. I sit quietly and feel the heat of the toaster on my face and hands. I know I've got about 2 or 3 minutes before it pops up but half way between getting out a plate and warming my hands I forget. I sit and wait, I hear the buzzing sound that occurs a split second before the toast pops. And like always, the toast pops and so do I, jumping and jolting as if I've seen a ghost.
Here is a video I made a long time ago when I used to do youtube, I filmed myself making breakfast and I got the real reaction on camera:
During the writing of this I've had four pieces of toast. I now realise two pieces isn't enough to satisfy my immense TOAST LUST!
