The toaster broke a few weeks ago. When I stopped to think about it, almost all we used it for anymore was heating frozen waffles.
So, rather than running out and buying a new toaster, I tried cooking a waffle in a dry (ungreased), nonstick frypan. I was afraid it might dry out, since I could only brown one side at a time, so I used a glass lid. I browned the waffle lightly on one side, flipped it, browned it on the other. I wish I'd tried this sooner. The browning was more even than with a toaster, and there weren't dry spots and moist spots, either. I've tried it again since then, again with good results.
The downside is that you can't cook several waffles at once, but I don't generally need several waffles at once.
Now I don't have a toaster taking up counter space, and having to be cleaned and cleaned around. But I can still have my waffles. Such a deal. I've been trying to declutter the house. Decluttering by attrition is still decluttering, right?

It was indeed a different era. What was going on in 1924 when these books
were being published and read? The 1924 Paris Olympics, Leopold and Loeb
murders,...

How I felt when my older kids broke the baby swing: one less "thing" to hold on to. Just wish they could have waited another 6 to 10 months to do it though. The baby actually liked the swing.
