Yes that is what I was talking about, but I must admit to using a bit of 
poetic licence, and exagarating on that point.    Although that was the way I 
made toast in my old house I don't have a fire anymore.  And I miss it.  (It 
appeals to my warped sence of humor - I wasn't exagarating about the plastic 
coffee funnel though which I have used for over 20 years now.  Unlike 
anything more high tech it never breaks down)

I am hoping to buy a house in the not too distant future & hopefully on a few 
acers of land, and with a place to make "proper" toast.  And you will be most 
welcome to come and visit.  I will one day have a little hobby farm with a 
guest cottage, or at least a guest room or two so that people can come and 
stay for the weekend.
