I suppose offering to carry your love child is an inappropriate response to this comment, but what the hey. =)
You need to be adored. And I, as you might have guessed, am very good at adoring people.

Oh, I know why you are both in our extended family! :-) I love reading your experiences, Harper, and Zander just has a way with words.
Last night I went to the only Boston area reading and book signing by Nigel Slater... I haven't laughed so hard in ages; he read some passages from his latest book, an autobiography of his childhood from ages 9-18. Mind you, he got the sad parts read on The Connection in the am, and left to good stuff for us. Having spent time at Talis's and Zander and Janet's, we are well acquainted with toast, but when Nigel started in with his Mum holding the burned toast out the kitchen window, and this was not a once in a while occurance, I couldn't help myself. The book is on top of my to-be-read pile. Is it a coincidence that toast has come up here?
I'm trying to give up cheese, and I'm American, but for a while I swear I lived on cheese toasties. Toast. Cheese. It's cheap and easy and not that unhealthy, really.
Thickly spread with Marmite, surely? Though I'm coming round to the idea that a good home-made marmalade is an acceptable alternative if you don't desire something savoury.
When I first followed your link to the DeLonghi toasterI thought it said "six-position browsing control." Maybe I've been spending too much time on the Web...
