An Old-timer remembers way back in the day: When I was a boy, my momma would send me down to a corner store with $1 and I’d come back with 5 potatoes, 2 loaves of bread, 3 bottles of milk, a hunk of cheese, a box of tea and 6 eggs. You can’t do that now… Too many security cameras.
The coffee is an easy fix with the breakroom microwave. I would just stay away from the toaster pastry on general principle and get some mini donuts from the vending machine.
I use to drink instant coffee… I don’t anymore cause I always somehow make it too strong. :}hey, if it’s too burnt for you, maybe I could have it. I like burnt stuff. :g
Buy her a decent toaster and ask her to make Taster’s Choice for you. Unlike other instants it’s freeze dried from actual brewed coffee and tastes like brewed coffee. One of the many reasons it’s the most popular coffee in the world especially among first responders like police and firefighters and also military personnel.
Followed by the lunch “special” at the diner and then a Gladys home cooked dinner and it’s definitely a Monday. Of course for the Born Loser there are 5 Mondays every week!

It could be worse. She could have given him burnt coffee and a cold toaster pastry.

You could have trashed it and got an egg McMuffin and a scalding hot cup of coffee or got a better breaky elsewhere.

It’s the thought that counts, Brutus. Gladys thought she’d make you a quick breakfast and get you off to work. Then she could go back to bed.

…and for dinner a nice portion of hot tongue and cold shoulder.

Gladys at least tried. Those toasters can be tricky things though.

Nothing better! Actually, better than nothing. With a cup of coffee, it will hold you till lunch. Hopefully, she will never do it again……

Microwave the coffee and scrape the carbonization off the toaster pastry. Remember, it’s the thought that counts.
