   Wow! That looks so difficult. Now, does the cheese go on the toasted bread first or after the ham?

   I love your toaster! I love it a lot. Whether it works well or not is immaterial. It is a work of art.

   And you have the same coffee machine that I have. I love that too! Keeps my coffee just the right hot temperature.

   Little Miss Sunshine State has it spot on.
   Such will be life with your now teenage daughter. Please let me know if you can figure out where the sweetness is hiding. I haven’t figured it out yet.
   Good luck, p.j.

   Poor Bossys Daughter. Your teenage years with blogging mother with surgically attached camera. This may be a very long era for you.

    Is that wine for Bossy’s daughter, too? Why is she drinking wine so early in the day? ‘Cause Toastie’s are all about breakfast, right? Five more years, Bossy’s daughter. Damn!

    There’s a name for your daughter’s expression – Bershon. There’s even a Flickr group, that perfectly captures each and every annoyed teenager’s face (“I’m so berson”). Ahhh, lovely.
    Speaking of lovely, so is your Toastie. And now I’m hungry again…

    I was gonna ask about that wine, too. Maybe Bossy’s Daughter made this last night? Or maybe Bossy is hittin’ the sauce earlier now that the teenage attitude is in the house.

    Maybe you could submit this recipe to Ree for her next cookbook? No? Better yet, write your own!

    I sorta thought it was cute there was wine on the counter. Which is how mine looks most mornings. BOSSY’s daughter = beyond cute, even when annoyed.

    I had to stop to see what the hell a British toastie was. And of course, it is just a ham and cheese sandwich. Why must the British be so vague?
