The Toast Messenger by Sasha Tseng is only a design concept (sadly), but how awesome would it be to write a message on the surface of the box, then have that message magically toasted onto the bread inside? This could be the next Twitter! (thanks, chip!)
This recipe was submitted by reader Deano from the UK:
Half a can of baked beans
two slices of bread
teaspoon of chili powder
almost a handful of grated cheese
butter
Mix the beans, cheese and chili powder together and microwave, simultaneously toast the bread. When all is ready butter the toast and cut in half in triangle shapes. Pour cheesy spicy bean mixture into the center of the plate and put the toast on the outside. Enjoy!
From our friends at the Grain Foods Foundation comes an interactive art gallery that lets you create your own designs on virtual toast: http://www.breadartproject.com

September 2-4, 2009: The Toast will be popping up on the playa in a few different locations this year!
Wednesday, around sunrise: The False Profit Tuesday Party (located at 4:00 and Esplanade). From the press release: “Homo sapiens without the [silicon gene] mutation will be leaving the world of mutant commerce for False Profit’s Tuesday Night party to expose themselves to computerized sounds that will touch their Monkey-Robot brains. It should be no surprise that these sounds will be emitted from the Unimog, preferred vehicle of Space Cowboys who themselves are a future offshoot species of Homo sapiens electronica.”
Wednesday, around dusk: The Toast Party at the Relaxomatic Plushitorium. “At the Relaxomatic Plushitorium, you will find a madcap roller coaster ride of tranquility and repose — If it’s soft, squishy, and fun to sit on, you’ll probably find it here. Additionally register here to send your grilled Cheese-o-grams to your friends and enemies. Hometown: Brooklyn, NY” (photo: broxtronix)
Friday afternoon, 12:45pm: at El Circo and The Do Lab (located at 10:00 and Biology). “For the first time ever, The Do LaB and El Circo are joining forces to create an unforgettable visual sound camp, Simpler Times, at Burning Man this year. The merging of these iconic communities of San Francisco and Los Angeles is sure to produce one of the most epic and memorable places to be on the playa with the creative explosions, amazing musicians and mind-blowing performances.”
My good disciple Timmy ‘Twang’ Lowndes of Northern Ireland offers: “A Spiritual contemplation of all things toasted. Let us take time this day to celebrate all that can be placed within the sacramental toaster. Be it bread or crumpet, dark or light, we praise all that is warm and butter covered. Behold All Ye That Enter The Seventh Apocalyptic Church Of the Toaster, thee shall visit our revered prophet Dr. Toast.” Join now at Facebook.com!
