It’s been a long time coming, but we biked over to Duikelman in the Ferdinand Bol this afternoon and purchased the only other kitchen appliance I really care about (the first one being a decent coffee machine).

What we splashed out on was a Dualit Vario Combi 2×2 toaster, something of a Rolls Royce amongst toasters.

Dinner consisted of toasties (what else?), with several rounds of delicious, golden toast providing a TV snack later in the evening.

The new Vario has pride of place next to my beloved Z5. Breakfasts will never be the same again.
