Foods You Can Cook or Reheat in Your Toaster
If you are using your toaster for only toasting bread, you are not using the small kitchen appliance for what it could be doing. There is a long list of foods you can cook or heat up in your toaster. Many foods can just be dropped in the toaster. However, some foods should be first put in toaster bags. Toaster bags will keep certain foods from dripping into the inside of the appliance such as cheese when you make grilled cheese sandwiches or drippings when you warm up leftover pizza.

'Haven't Met You Yet' By Michael Bublé Tells a Great Love Story
Michael Bublé is a 44-year-old Canadian-Italian singer, songwriter, record producer, and actor. He loves singing, and I love listening to him no matter what he is singing. I believe I could listen to him even if he is just warming up with do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do. I have never missed any of his Christmas specials on television. I am disappointed when there isn't one.

'My Girl' By The Temptations Is My Unforgettable Song
My Girl was written in 1964, the year after I graduated from high school. I was working in New York to save money to go to college the next year. I was at the age of innocence and after watching American Bandstand I had learned to evaluate a song by its beat, the words and how easy it is to dance to. My Girl by the Temptations had all those characteristics, and it became my go-to song when I wanted to feel good. Whenever I heard the words in the song, I pretended I was the girl the group was singing about.
