After allowing a sandwich toaster to heat up, if you then want to move it, use the handle. Do not try pushing it on the side with the flat of your hand.

Chop toad

I was watching the film The Green Man this afternoon, a fifties British comedy about an assassin trying to kill a pompous businessman on a dirty weekend at a seaside hotel. When the target checks into the hotel he looks at the restaurant menu and makes disparaging remarks about "brown Windsor soup" and something I heard as "chopped toad". That I'd never heard of, so I looked it up.

Chopped (or chop) toad turns out to be toad in the hole, but made with chops instead of sausages. My mother made toad in the hole often when I was growing up, but I don't recall ever having come across this version.

 Just been trying out a recipe for chocolate refrigerator cake.  The recipe specifies making it in a 20cm square tin.  The final instruction is to cut the cake into twelve squares.
