Mystery of the toast

Last week I came home to find two paper back books and in a plastic baggy a piece of embossed toast. Mystery? The two books, no. The baggy of embossed toast, yes.

The books need mentioning to be sure. At my group of bridge friends, the lastest good "reads" are discussed. One of the women mentioned Out Stealing Horses and she proceded to leave it on my deck as well as return a book of mine. (If you want to know about Out Stealing Horses go to Amazon.com and search. The book will come up and you can read the first few pages on line.

Now as for the embossed toast. A soon to be "out of business" store here in Eugene called the LETTERHEAD is a store to visit for items you don't always need but are so much fun and at times useful. Mary Gail, bridge friend, has become a regular patron and found the template for the toast there. The directions on the packet say to stamp or enboss a slice of fresh bread with the plate and then toast. When you examine the toast carefully you can find a female figure there that resembles the Virgin Mary. The toast is then called (are you sure you want to know) "The Holy Toast".

Since the store no longer has any in stock and you really need one of these, type in Holy Toast on Google and a couple of sites will appear (and maybe some other interesting items also). If I might have offended you, sorry! But I do love a great pun.
