Oh oooooooh... no email notices this morning.

So that's why you didn't answer my very important question, I thought you was upset at me for not showing up for crumpets.

It must be. I've not received a TBN email all day too.

Extreme disappointment on the Toaster front! Not with my toaster per se, but with a new 'toasting product' I tried out today. Being a single bloke and liking a quick & easy 'lunch on the go', I bought a package of McCain "BBQ Beef Pizza Toasties". Nuke'em for 45sec, then toast'em 'til 'golden brown.

An absolute ABOMINATION! Do not attempt this at home. The bloody things are still sitting as a lump at the bottom of my gullet... and that was 9 hours ago. :yuck::thumbsdown:

Put those toasties in the oven. Microwaves are for warming only and never quite cook they way you would expect.
Oh, they also boil water.

No email notices either and I am fine with that since I had been getting so many.
I just set my start page to "My Home" and a list of threads shows up. It's my new preferred way.

One way to feel better is to turn upside down, then right side up and since your down under, a few more revolutions of the earth and you'll be alright. Lessons learn, pizza has to be cooked horizontal, not vertical.

Are those John McCain toasties by any chance?!:confused2: Don't you penal colony leftovers no nuthin bout breakfast? Those toasties aren't for lunch- they're for breakfast, and are meant to be thrown on the barbie, not the darn toaster! No wonder you can't get any toast down there- you probably cook spaghetti in a deep fryer!!:laughing: BTW, spaghetti IS a breakfast meal....

Well they're a McCain product... the 'things' are the size of one of those "Pop Tarts". Horrible! The remaining two in the package are going in the bin. Crickey, the taste memory is still with me. I've re-checked the toaster to ensure that there's no residue to taint future English Muffins or toast.

There was no alternative preparation instructions on the package. Oh, well, I've lived to tell the tale; and that's saying something after a Naval career that's taken me to some very interesting foreign ports with resulting (post bar-hopping) "street food" adventures.

Example: A skewer of "Chicken Of The Sea" turned out to be seagull.

My English mother's way of doing toast in the old 2 slice beasts, (chrome plated boat anchors), was to turn it to DARK, then wait for the fire trucks! Then proceed to scrape the burnt cold 'toast' from a black shade of color to something looking like what might be scrapped off any sane person's shoe!

My favorite tale of her kitchen machinations was when my wife and I gave her brief instructions on how to use the microwave, and we came home after a movie and dinner out to a horrible smell of burnt something in the kitchen. She had decided to cook a potato in the micro. Needless to say, after 45 minutes straight on high power #10 it was DONE! The microwave was relieved of potato duty and she was relieved from ever using it without supervision. That smell can still be conjured by telling the story. Good 'ole mum. 'Dem were 'de days....

Chickens can fly you know! :laughing:

CRIKEY!!! Somebody burst the dam as I just received a backlog of 45 email notices. All at once!

Unfortunately I had the speakers on and I thought that a virus had hit my Interociter; so many "PING"s were going on.

----------------------------------------------------------

And now I've received a further 22 which makes <lets see... mumble... carry the 3...> a LOT!

It's BAAAACK!!

I've noticed no TBN email notices for the past few days.

Also, what's the opinion of these new-fangled "Instant Pot" contraptions? Are they better than a slow cooker? :scratchchinwhilst we wait for Ibrahim to fix the problem)
