I've read 42 of the top 100 books then... there's a few on there sat on 'I've got it but not got round to reading it yet' pile too. I'm not sure I should have a list though, gives me an excuse to buy more to read :)

Real Toast

I've just come to the realisation that there is no mention on here at all of the best kind of toast there is. Real toast is made from thick slabs of bread cooked with a fork over a fire. An activity best engaged in with a mug of hot chocolate/soup having come in from a crisp winter's day. Goes well with snow.

It lives!

I do not eat enough toast. I have discovered the toaster in this house (I've been here 8.5 months) - it's hidden in a corner with the fruit bowl. Perhaps I'll experiment soon.

I have however, rediscovered jammy toast! All the toast I've had this year... and I can think of about three occasions on which I've had any at all... have been jammy. Jam is good.

Crumpet Procurement

My name is Saff and I'm a... I have not touched a slice of toast in FAR TOO LONG!

Actually, I've just realised that's not as true as I thought it was. Lizi made me toast just over a week ago.

Anyway, the exciting side of this is that Graham has agreed to be my Crumpet Procuring person. Woo!
