I bought a new Kitchen Aid toaster and just tried it out for the first
time. I took out the instruction manual and noticed it was in both
English and French.
I figured, I'll follow the instructions in the French section, they had
diagrams, easy to follow. Put the bread in, pushed the lever down and
in a couple of minutes it popped up. It was just like American toast.
Can't imagine what I did wrong, I did just like the book showed in French.

think the alternate instructions are in Spanish. I wonder if Spanish
toast is different? ;)

not turn my nose up at canned corn. When I was young and
poor, it was food. Nothing unwholesome, so I don't feel bad
buying it to donate, but not to eat.

To be fair, it surprises me that you are the same way with canned
green beans; I certainly mind those.

freezing cold will open those pop top lids. I was lucky, nothing
opened... the UPS trucks must be heated, the cans were still warm.

with a spoon from the can. I eat a lot of canned food from the can...

missed the joke by Ed who said to put some canned corn in the electric
*bread toaster* to get tortilla.
I use canned whole corn kernels when I make corn and potato chowder.
They work just fine in soups without getting mushy like some canned
vegetables (such as green beans) might. IMHO.

Typically canned, but I heat it up in a kettle first (which is a good
use for a 1qt kettle).

I like to add to creamed corn as an ingredient in cornbread...

Canned creamed corn always has an odd taste to me. Not bad, just not

natural.
I've never made my own but I'd like to try next spring/summer when I can
get fresh grown corn. I'll bet that would be a hit.
