Ponderables

Every so often something I am doing at the moment causes me to ask a question . Like the other day I was putting a yummy piece of Milton's (my fave) whole wheat bread into the toaster.

What's with this idea of toast. Why dry it out in a toaster and then slather it with butter or other such spreadables to make it moist again? Who came up with such an idea?

(Things that make you go hmmm.)
