Toast comes out, and where does the bread go anyway? Weird.

I always just thought parfait = layers, but not lasagne, etc. (mmmmm)
Never even thought to look it up really.

Myself, I really enjoy freshly squeezed orange juice, but I usually reserve that for the weekends. Normally I will drink coffee or green tea, depending on how early it is.
I always make a pot of hot tea. Usually it's gunpowder green, but sometimes jasmine, oolong, or whatever else. We get bulk loose leaf tea and use a gold permanent strainer/cup with regular tap water boiled on the stove top. We have a well so I suppose it's not "regular" tap water, woteva.
Speaking of toast,
We gave up on the toaster for time reasons and now just throw a half dozen slices of bread in the oven on the top rack set to broil. After a couple of minutes flip them. ez game. Sometimes the flip/remove job gets forgotten lol so we get more bread. Always whole grain.
