Toaster Day recipes:

BLT:

4 rashers of crisp bacon, split cross-wise

3 slices beefsteak tomato

4 leaves of romaine lettuce

2 slices of white bread

Hellman's mayonnaise

Toast bread. Spread mayonnaise on bread. Stack lettuce, then tomato, then bacon on bottom slice, lining up where the sandwich will be cut in half. Put top slice on and cut cross-wise. Serve with a pickle spear.

Latchkey Grilled Cheese.

4 slices of processed American cheese (Velveeta or Kraft)

2 slices of white bread

Softened butter

1 can Campbell's Tomato Soup

Toast bread. While toasting bread, begin warming up soup. Spread butter on toast. Layer cheese slices on bread, leaving a little bit of room on margins. Microwave on high for 20 seconds. Cut diagonal. Serve with tomato soup.

Both sandwiches are best eaten while playing video games.

@timak: It's called "Latchkey Grilled Cheese" because us latchkey kids learned to zap up grilled cheese sandwiches in the microwave.

@michaelportent: Put the bowl of soup on the floor beside you. It's assumed that you're sitting Indian-style on the floor, about 4 feet from the TV, which is the ideal way to play Legend of Zelda.

First of all, sliced bread is not much of an invention. The bread slicer - that's a great invention. And, while toast is great, the toaster is one of man's crowning achievements.

Why do I like toast? Because it combines bread with fire. And the resulting toast is greater than the sum of its parts because it can carry soft butter and simultaneously be used as sop for egg yolk. And, of course, as stated, where there's toast there is also bacon.

Lest we forget, bacon and toast are not just breakfast. They are half of one of the greatest sandwiches of all - the mighty BLT. Toasted white bread with a smattering of mayonnaise, carrying beefsteak tomato, crisp romaine lettuce, and crispy, warm, salty bacon. The merging of flavors, textures, sounds, and temperatures in such a simple form is unrivaled in the culinary world.

To toast! To bacon! To sandwiches! To tomatoes! To lunch!

@OMG! Ponies!: I have to disagree with your choice of beefsteak tomato. It's simply too juicy, and that threatens the crunch integrity of the toast and, dare I say, the bacon. Of course, you could separate the tomato from the bread with the lettuce layer, but ideally you want a little of the tomato to blend with the mayo, and I think mayo on bread next to tomato is ideal.

I recommend using a roma tomato. Just as delicious, a little meatier, a lot less juicy.

I think about sandwiches a lot.

Thanks for reminding me that I've been slacking on my blogging duties.

Pop Tarts don't hold a candle to toaster strudel. The Pillsbury Doughboy is the confection equivalent of Jabba the Hut. He'll feed you to his fuckin' rancor if you don't buy his shit.

@Kaiser-Machead: You know that commercial where they say Pop Tarts don't hold a candle to toaster strudel?

I have to admit, it's one of the most convincing commercials ever. Watching the kids break open the flaky strudel crust...it makes me never want to eat another pop tart again.

@92BuickLeSabre: Agreed. When I finally bought some, I cracked it open like in the commercial, and wept.

I didn't actually weep, but I was thinking about it.

If you say no, I may weep over the unnecessary hole that I've been carrying in my life.

@stryder100: Given that peanut butter is older (and arguably much older) than toast, one wonders what they hell people were putting their peanut butter on?

@92BuickLeSabre: I would wager peanut butter is older than toasters, but not toast, and definitely not older than bread (which is almost as good a peanut butter canvas as toast). Or apples. I love me some peanut butter on apple slices.

@Gann and Guy_Whitey_Corngood: Your arguments involve things happening without gadgets making them happen.

This confuses my modern mind.

But I am certain there were no apples in the western hemisphere, when people were first eating peanut butter.

I guess it's possible they ate it on corn cakes, but that seems a little difficult to believe.

@IcemanD: Remember that time Chimalpopoca's friends were throwing a surprise party for him? Oh man, he never could live that down!

good intentions, but I can imagine the trash slobbering from one level to the next, goo and ooze spilling over the flimsy boundaries until that one day when you stick the trash can in a hefty bag and throw it out with the trash.

Interesting but not usable due to the low volume...unless you like taking out the trash/recyclables a few times per day....a much better solution is to p/u a few of these.

I have three that fit perfectly together in the trash closet...problem solved
