  • The other posts...

  • Be forewarned that Thai cooks tend to pack a lot of sugar into the bread around here, enhancing the universe old chain reaction of oxygen-fuel-heat-combustion. That is what I found out when I forgot to take out my sizzling toast from the china-made toaster. (The reason I bought it was because it was the cheapest one available, the reason it was the cheapest was because no matter what number you choose for the heater, the result is the same, and of course the spring mechanism which only works if you jump-start it yourself before your bread starts turning black.) I soon found out that apart from turning black, Thai bread will spontaneously start giving of very yellowish flames of about 30 centimeters high when you persistently keep on reading that page-turning homicide-thriller instead of jump starting the spring mechanism in cheap Chinese toasters. Anyway, it made me look up from my book and thus allowed me to get out of the house for a little trip to the internetshop. All well that ends well. (I wonder if I unplugged the toaster before leaving my apartment?)
