This is what food looks like when I try to improvise. As you can see it doesn’t look very tasty.

You see, we have moved into a new house and have not yet acquired a toaster. So I had the wonderful and brilliant idea to toast the poor bagels in the skillet. Well this was my first attempt, which you should be happy to know I did not even dare to smear cream cheese on them and feed them to my husband.

My second attempt was much better, but they were still burnt. Since I had already wasted one bagel, I felt as though I needed to serve the rest, even if they were less than perfect. After Justin took a bite and gagged, he demanded that we get a toaster. I agreed wholeheartedly.

I saw that Kohls was having a sale.

“This should be the perfect place for a toaster,” I thought to myself.

I went to Kohls. The sale prices on toasters were between $60 and $70.  Why yes, you did read that right.

“Are you kidding me?!,” I now thought (and voiced).

That much for a toaster??? Yes, that much for a toaster. A toaster that produces toast. Not gold, not money, just toast.

Needless to say, I came home without a toaster.

I promise I will not attempt to toast anything until I buy a reasonably priced toaster, otherwise Justin will serve me divorce papers.
