how to make toast without a toaster

Hello, reader.  How are you doing?  When Ming and I moved to our current home, we were leaving one community for another.  Suddenly we had our own kitchen–it had been a while.  We never got a microwave or other conveniences.  Yay, I love life without a microwave!  This morning I was considering how to make toast without a toaster.

Before, that would have stressed me out, making toast without a toaster.  Now, it’s normal life.  Easy as anything.  Yes!

option 1

Make toast in the oven.  Set the bread on a wire oven rack, and either use broil, flipping it halfway through, or use 400 degree and feel free to space out a bit.

option 2

Make toast in a frying pan. Just dry.  No problem –you got this!

kitchen counters

It’s nice not having a lot on our kitchen counters.  I can use that space to chop veg, cool the pumpkin breads, stir potatoes mid-roasting, and do other active things.

Not let a toaster get dusty with a film of oil and dust clinging to the film.  Yuck!

thank you

Making toast without a toaster is creative, which we love in our family.  Food is a beautiful part of life–food is love.

Ming and I are blessed to be stability housed and have food to eat every day that meets our health needs and tastes delicious.  We’re blessed to drink clean water, and our air is mostly good too.  We’re blessed to have extra, and cook for friends as well as Food Not Bombs again.  Yay.

I made some pumpkin bread and baked tempeh for Food Not Bombs last Friday.

Tape didn’t stick to the wax paper, so I tried string.

questions for discussion

What do you cook or would you cook for Food Not Bombs?

Do you ever make toast without a toaster?

What are you grateful for today?

How many kitchen appliances do you tolerate?

What’s your favorite thing to spread on toast, or top toast with?

How has it gone for you, when you left one community for another?

Do you have any theories about why Ming and I have such a strong, long lasting relationship?

love

I know it’s because Ming is astoundingly forgiving.  But also we share almost all of our values, we’re both happy to commit, and we interdepend like champs.

Yes, disability champions.  We both put the other person first.  Also we really like each other.
