I think I finally got the anti-spam plugin working properly.
You can now stop trying to figure out the secret meaning of "toast".
About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

This REALLY helps! And it’s great coffee (and tea)
I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.

PLEASE subscribe via PayPal if it is useful.
That way I have steady income I can plan on, and you wind up regularly on my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I periodically say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

The true meaning of toast.
Wikipedia entry on Toast.
Mmmmmmm…toast
Different kind of toast: “Up the long ladder and down the short rope. The h*ll with King Billy and God bless the Pope.”
Thank you, Father! The words were getting more and more cryptic and I, more and more frustrated! God bless you.
I like toast. :-)
Oh, I’m trying to be more charitable so I just deleted what I wrote, otherwise my confession is going to be really long…
Actually, my favorite is a toasted English muffin with butter and a bit of strawberry jam. Yum!
BTW – I just noticed a comment expiration date. I best be hoppin’ to it!
A toast to Fr. Z and BXVI!

joy: Thanks!
Toast is something we eat. Toast is to pan-cook something (sans oil) until golden brown. Toast is when you seem to be running low on excuses as your boss decides to interrogate you big time.
Ah toast. :D
Nothing wrong or secret with or about toast. It’s just yummy. Especially with chocolate spread on!
Dear Father:
On a related blog matter: How is the RSS feed coming along?
I have Live Bookmarks on the Bookmarks toolbar of my Firefox browser, and my favorite Catholic blogs are all loading their RSS feeds properly. “American Papist”? Loading fine. “Charlotte Was Both”? Ditto. “New Liturgical Movement”? Same there. The Whapsters? No problemo. However, with WDTPRS, I’m still getting “Live Bookmarks failed to load.”
Just wondering.
PMcGrath,
You might delete the link and get another one. I got the “failed to load” message for a while, but it’s been working fine the last few days.
