I use the leftover mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes the next morning to make potato cakes that I fry up.

I only have a microwave right now. I need to learn how to cook potatoes using that. Apparently it can be done.

Yes, but not well.

Sadly, Blaze really wanted his potatoes so we agreed we would try.

Maybe you should get a toaster oven

Never had to use a toaster oven. Mine stay together.

I once lucked into an old GE Toaster oven very similar to the one we had when I was a kid. It lasted a long time even though I bought it used. Was sad when it died. The replacement's all right, I guess. But I swear: the inside of the window fogs up when you turn it on. Which strikes me as a design flaw that someone in Engineering-land should've corrected.

The good news is that now in this area we have "Repair Fairs" several times a year. You can bring your small appliances there and tinkerers will look them over for a nominal fee. When this toaster oven wouldn't work, it took the guy about 5-10 minutes to find and fix the issue. We thanked him and donated about two bucks to future events.

Much more cost-effective than buying a new one.

Older appliances seem to always last longer than the new stuff. Sad really. More options means more failures.

Legion fans hate reboots.

I've lost track of how many reboots we're up to now.

This does not apply to Legion World's Reboot!

Hey, I remember that guy!

But was there ever a member named Boot?

Here he is!

I will need to buy new boots soon.

I love my Red Wing workboots. I discovered them several years before my [ahem] glorious spate of temp jobs in warehouses.

I once worked at the Timberland headquarters in New Hampshire.

I want a an opportunity to yell TIMBER!!!!!

Our local men's soccer team is The Portland Timbers.

I haven't seen them play, but I have seen the women's team: The Portland Thorns in a game. They won.

The Football Association banned women's team from playing on grounds affiliated to their organisation back in 1921.

One reason was the supposed physical damage playing football could do to a woman. But it was far more likely to have been fear of gender equality, and odd ideas of morality, as the women's teams were popular and had been attracting large crowds.
