Born in 1980, Miss Rowenta Toaster lived a charmed life in California, Georgia, Virginia and Washington. She made 3,432 pieces of toast
over her 33 year lifespan. During this time, she saw Germany re-united, making
her West Germany statement of origin obsolete.
Her crumb tray was cleaned about 10 times, and her cord was a bit melted
from incompetent stowage once in Virginia. She
had an expert facility with English muffins, sourdough, wheat, and cinnamon
bread. Bagels always were a challenge,
but she attempted these without complaint.
Overall, she existed with aplomb among the human presence. Last week, she was found unresponsive to dill
bread. Well done, little toaster.
