Good Morning. Today is Thursday, which is that much closer to it being Friday, so I am super happy about that. Today I am going to visit Grandma in her new nursing facility. That's gonna be after Spanish and Physical Science lab though. I learn a lot in Physical Science. For example: the theory of relativity. I kind of mostly understand it, but only certain parts. But that test is over, so I just don't need to know it until the final.
And now it's nighttime. I didn't get to finish today because I was doing a lot of things. I went to the nursing facility to visit Grandma. I want her to get better. It's hard to see her like that because she clearly hates it. She finished therapy a little while after I got there and then was just exhausted and fell asleep. I saw her friend Don and a lady who has been best friends with Sydney since forever. Her name was Vicky I believe. She was really nice and brought some delicious chocolate cake. Diana came to pick me up with her husband and son. Her baby is so cute, but I don't think he's used to strangers yet. I'm not sure how much he enjoyed my company in the car.
Today also marked my first experience with a hot dog in the cannon center. Not my favorite. I was also harassed twice in the process of getting a cookie. Firstly, I was checking the bendability factor in the cookie and some guy with a lot of nerve questioned my authority. Rediculous I think. I offered him the cookie, assuring him that it had great flexibility, with the reassuring words, "This is a good one," but he turned my down. Rude. Then I was putting my cookie in the toaster to make it warmer and therefore more delicious, and a cannon center employee materialized and yelled, "Don't toast that cookie!" I was shocked and my immediate response was a defensive, "why?" No wonder people are intimidated by me. He answered that it would ruin the toaster. Pshhh... riiightt. I asked him how that might happen, as I could see no reason for it, and he answered that he didn't know but it just does. I felt like he was very rude, but because he was a huge man, I let it slide. However, I tried signaling cannon center workers secretly for the duration of our meal there. I am convinced that the whole operation is as rotten as the cheese gets in the refrigerator at home when I am away at school. I still do not see any way toasting a cookie could ruin a toaster...
...I'm not buying it. I intend to toast almost everything I eat at the cannon center now. This is subliminal war. They brought it upon themselves. They won't even know that the war is going on, but they will be losing. Bring on the Cannons, I have my own form of fighting the power. The Brave Little Toaster has nothing on me.
Goodnight. xoxo.

What the Cannon Center employee failed to explain to you is that using a toaster for anything except toasting actual toast will confuse the toaster. A toaster is made for toasting toast--and nothing else. On the other hand, a "toaster oven" has no such identity crisis. A toaster oven is part toaster and part oven--thus allowing it to warm non-toast foodstuffs. Properly used, a toaster oven will have the desired effect on your cookie, or other non-toast type toastables.
ReplyDeleteYou should have a high degree of mercy on the Cannon Center employee. He was merely repeating instructions he received without knowing the psychological impact on the toaster of forcing a toaster to toast non-toast items. Because a toaster oven will not be confused when you ask it to toast non-toast toastables, it will do a better job as well. For example, a toaster oven performs its task on non-toast toastables only while lying horizontally on a tray. This allows for a more even distribution of heat to the item, while simultaneously containing any crumbs or liquefied components to stay in an easily cleanable tray. In a toaster, a chocolate chip cookie will get hotter on the portion closer to the top of the cookie then the bottom due to the nature of the thermodynamics involved in vertical heating. Thus, chocolate chips at the top of the cookie may melt while the chips at the bottom may not. This would be an unacceptable outcome for a true lover of warm chocolate chip cookies. Knowing of your appreciation of warm chocolate chip cookies, I think you can understand why a toaster oven would provide a better outcome; and on many such warmable edibles, not merely of chocolate chip cookies. And this all while keeping said cookie flat, rather than risking curling and jamming of said toaster. Yes Julia, learn wisdom in thy youth. Learn to make toast, not war, in a toaster.
The Atonement of Jesus Christ will allow your heart to be at peace, not war, toward the Cannon Center, its toasters, and all of the employees. Being infinite in nature, the Atonement applies to the Cannon Center, and its respective employees and toasters. If the Center, its employees or toasters have offended you or your cookie, you can accept Christ’s payment to justice for their offenses and let go—recognizing that He paid the price for their offenses as well as yours. Failure to recognize His payment on their behalf is a form of rejecting the Atonement—and is the greater sin. (D&C 64:9)
