Actually **Scout** , it was just the set-up so I could proclaim my love for **Java**. But it’s a secret, so you didn’t hear it from me. The **Puddin’** thing is just an extra added bonus for me. ( **Puddin’** , if you didn’t know, is **Francesca**. Just because I said so. Not because she’s so sweet and there was that one time with that one thing involving whipped cream and a cherry on top for dessert. Just because I said so.) ---

> [@merrily](#): > > If…Soupo got toast in his lunch box, > > And…if Mrs. De Day had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in her briefcase, > > Then…what did Rue have on his breakfast plate? My guess is leftover pizza or a strawberry daquiri and a pop tart. After rereading the OP maybe a whole pitcher of strawberry daquiris. Speaking of daquiris (how’s that for a segueway) one of the things we’re signed up to do during the cruise is this thing called a rum cruise, while in Nassau. From what I figured out, it’s a party boat where you get to drink lots of rum and eat lots of stuff for three hours, then they deliver you back to the pier where the cruise ship is docked. Good thing they do that cause all I’ll have to do is crawl across the pier and board ship. 😃 **Francesa** where exactly would one wear a hat made of toast. Just askin’ in case anybody ever gives me one. I know you’d want me to wear it only to the proper places. -swampbear (who has all his attire for next week arranged on the guest room bed and ready for packing) ---

Oh, did I also mention that ACBG is one of the four going on the cruise and that we have our own suite? It’s called an owner’s suite. Reckon that means I now own a cruise ship? ---

Cornish Game Hen? Beef consomme? Tarte au chocolat aux framboises? Really. Where’s the caviar? Where’s the lobster? Where’s the creme brulee and tiramisu, for heaven’s sake? Some parents these days, tch. 😉 (I got to post in Rue’s MMP! _happy dance of joy_) ---

Do you make the toast with [one of these](http://www.dualit.com/content.asp?page=/catalogue/productRange.asp?categoryCode=13)? I hear that’s the brand the Queen uses, or rather, her staff uses to make her toast. ---

If you buy a new toaster **mistee** , you have to get one of those pretty colordy ones they sell, maybe Kitchen Aid, I’m not sure. But they come in bright shiny colors and have a sturdy black cord. Me, I have a toaster oven and you won’t pry that from my dead cold fingers even. Because it’ll be under the counter way back in the cabinet so that I’m not tempted to add nearly useless calories to my diet. But toaster ovens are for true toast connosseurs, how else can you get the perfect caramelization on your cinnamon toast without one, I say. Did you know that there’s a sock monkey lunchbox? I have a plain canvas one that’s stupid and I hate it. But soon, the sock monkey lunch box will be mine. Or the Shiva, because a lunch box’s deity can never have too many arms. Guess what’s in my ugly stupid lunch bag today? Yep, pot roast. It was okay, but while the veggies were perfect and the flavor pretty good, I was unimpressed with the roast since it was a little dry. How the heck did I manage to make a pot roast dry? That takes talent. And I played doctor once. Brent, Brice, something with a B anyway, was just as unimpressed as I. Time has changed my opinion. Of playing doctor, not that kid. He’s still a shmuck. ---

I just knew when I woke up this morning it was gonna be one of them weird days…maybe cause I’m readin’ Tad Williams’ book, _The War of the Flowers_ which is about a bunch of fairies (the pointy-eared kind…some wif wings…some not…but none with pain grillé chapeaus). Anyways, I couldn’t put it down all weekend, much to Mr. Anachi’s chagrin. Another source of Mr. Anachi’s chagrin this weekend was that he hadda have a poop cam done. It was not fun but all is well with Mr. Anachi’s colon. The bonus is that the good drugs they gave him have totally wiped the entire procedure from his mind. Gave him temporary CRS. Ha, ha! **swampy dear** , we will miss you next week but I hope you have a wonderful time on your crisis. Puggy vibes headed your way for good food, good weather, and good rum. Psssst, if ya drink only rum, ya doesn’t hasta worry about getting Montezuma’s Revenge. Tupug (with another toastless post) ---

One wears a hat made of toast wherever it rains butter of course. And we all love **Javamavin1** , no surprise there. Oh wait, didn’t you get the memo? :eek: Waitaminnut! didn’t you used to be just **Javamavin** , without the one? Who, or what, is this one? Is there something we should know? ---

Psssst, if ya drink only rum, ya doesn’t hasta worry about getting Montezuma’s Revenge. Not to worry. From 1 PM next Monday (when we board ship), til about 10 AM next Friday (when we get off the ship to go home) I shall drink only the finest of spirits and feast only upon the choicest morsels. Also, spend as much time as possible in private with ACBG but that’s another story. 😉 -swampbear (I got nuttin’ to put here right now) ---

Because it’ll be under the counter way back in the cabinet so that I’m not tempted to add nearly useless calories to my diet. But toaster ovens are for true toast connosseurs… I think the only kitchen appliance I am missing is a toaster oven. I have a food processor, a blender, a huge mixer, a dehydrator, a deli style meat slicer, a wok, rotisserie, a fry daddy, an ice shaver, a cotton candy maker, a snow cone maker, plus lots of Wilton baking supplies. ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > **Rue** what I need to know is, is this fresh toast or old toast you leave sittin’ in the toaster. You are know to do that ya know.

Maybe we shouldn’t tell **Nightwatch Trailer** that **Rue’s** other kid is named **Katcha**. It might just be too much for him. Toaster ovens are the way to go toaster wise IMHO (but that’s another forum). My toaster oven has settings to toast toast all the way from light to burnt. Plus, I could get 12 pieces of toast in it easy if I wanted, though I’ve probably toasted no more than four pieces of toast in it at any one time. I hope it doesn’t feel neglected. It shouldn’t though. It also toasts bagels and is good for those toaster strudel and hot pockets thingys too. It gets used enough. It’s not neglected. It likes me. Toast, it’s not just for second grade cafeterias anymore. -swampbear (I’ve never been on a big ship. Hope I don’t throw up on ACBG) ---
