TURBO TOASTER

Our old toaster oven broke, so last weekend my mom and I picked up a new one at Target. Our old toaster oven served us well, a Black & Decker which I think I brought home from law school or whatever. Cheap but durable. Anyhow, this time, I saw a nice Europro toaster oven, which matched the new kitchen appliances, it was a little bigger and let you toast, bake, broil and grill. Also had a timer, so it would shut off automatically. Cool. Then on Wednesday, the toaster is gone, my dad says the timer doesn't work (odd, because it worked fine for me) so they were returning it. They return it and come home with a TOASTER. If you ever watched Home Improvement where the character's motto was "More Power" - that's my dad. So this new toaster oven is a huge Oster with all sorts of bells and whistles. I know this isn't going to stay. It'll freak my mom out. Aside from being change-phobic, she is also technology-phobic. Even I'm thinking I may need to read the manual to toast something. Anyhow, last night, I come home late and there is a different toaster yet again! A stainless steel version of the one that broke! I told you that new one wouldn't get to stay. hehe. Well, this one is going back too. I was like, what the heck, this one only toasts! For $10 more we can have toasting, baking, broiling and grilling. I still don't understand why they didn't just do a straight exchange for the first toaster we bought. Who knows.
