No you cannot use the toaster......

I have a lot of food sensitivities - wheat, corn, soy, oats and almonds are my worst (and caffeine, but I can’t talk about that one. Losing caffeine was like the death of a friend - sniff, sniff).

My husband, dear man, is always on the lookout for new and different gluten-free things I can eat and yesterday he came home with a box of quinoa burgers. Basically quinoa with a few other things mixed in formed into the shape of a burger.

Well, I like quinoa, so I decided I would try one for dinner last night. The directions said to run it though the toaster a couple of times, so that’s what I did. What they don’t tell you is these things completely fall apart when you try to grab them. So half the stupid patty fell into the other toast slot when I tried to lift it out of the toaster. It kept getting worse every time I grabbed at it, so I finally unplugged the toaster and dug what I could out with a fork. I had to dump the rest out of the toaster over the trash can.

You know those kinds of directions when you try to follow them make you say “what were they thinking?” Yeah, well I’m using the microwave next time.
