Trying to Roast Almonds in the Goddamn Toaster Oven


It just doesn't work. At 5:00 they haven't even started to cook, and by 5:01 they're a charred, smoking mess. What kind of world do we live in, where a man can't get a handful of hot, delicious nuts whenever he feels like it? Someone should build some kind of nut-roasting appliance. I'll throw money at him or her.

RATING: Burnt nuts - 4%
Homoerotic double entendre - 5%

Maybe you can find one that works with our North American outlets?

Can't you just buy almonds already toasted?

Yeah, but they're way more expensive.
