THE gift of 2010

Toaster Tongs ready and waiting
 for a little toaster action

We spotted these nifty little wooden devils at the Cooks Corner while milling about one day and at a whopping $1.79 a piece we knew we needed to get everyone on our gift list a pair for Christmas that year.

They are the best thing since sliced bread and actually make a great team when matched with sliced bread now that I think about it.  They also work beautifully with bagels, english muffins, and crumpets by george.

Not only are they stylish, but they are essential to safe toaster handling and protocol.  I'm truly surprised that they don't come in a bright color such as "safety green" or florescent orange.  That's how safe they are.

Thus Toaster Tongs were clearly THE gift of 2010 in our family.
