My toaster is a snob.

As you know my husband gave me the toaster to end all toasters for Christmas. Leverless, digital and to be honest, pretty full of itself.

I say this because my husband came home from running an errand the other day with this:

.

.

A fancy stainless steel expandable dish drainer…

.

.

With a removable cutlery holder, knife slot, cutting board rack and multi position drain spout.

Did we need an expandable stainless steel dish drainer with a removable cutlery holder, knife slot, cutting board rack and multi position drain spout?

.

.

We did not.

But I’m guessing that fancy new toaster was embarrassed by the old Rubbermaid drainer and told the husband to kick it to the curb.

Out with the old, in with the why did we need new?

As reported, I was gifted with kitchen appliances this Christmas.

.

Though we didn’t need new…

These perfectly functioning (not really) old machines are now destined for donation.

Though I’ve repeatedly (you’d think 38 years of repetition would be enough) told my husband appliances are not a desired gift, I receive them on a regular basis.

And because my spouse loves to buy overpriced gadgets that savvy saleswomen tell him will change our lives…. this year there was a deluxe Breville microwave with self closing door. ( That I keep slamming shut out of habit and will probably break.)

.

I never cook in a microwave, just reheat… so this was a tad over the top.

.

.

But won’t that shiny stainless steel interior be fun to keep clean?

🥴

And then?

There was the toaster to end all toasters.

.

.

We be fancy now.
