TenderToast is a surprisingly good and useful variation of the common toast we all enjoy.

TenderToast is made by placing two slices of bread into one toaster slot. The slot must be wide enough and is usually found on any toaster that accepts bagels. Best served with crunchy-side out.

Advantages of TenderToast:
- Abiltiy to make four slices of toast in a two-slice toaster.
- Toasts one side only. Crunchy on one side, warm and soft on the other.
- Makes a better BLT, fried egg sandwich or burger-bun substitute.

Carol and I were making fried-egg sandwiches one day. Needing four slices of toast, I was too lazy to wait and just put all four slices of bread in at the same time....turned out better than expected!!!

The safeguarding of Earth and other worlds from biological cross-contamination (i.e. billionaires with too much time on their hands).

Also known as “planetary protection.” Planetary protection / quarantine “reflects both the unknown nature of the space environment and the desire of the scientific community to preserve the pristine nature of celestial bodies until they can be studied in detail.”

There are two types of interplanetary contamination. Forward contamination is the transfer of viable organisms from Earth to another celestial body. Back contamination is the transfer of extraterrestrial organisms, if such exist, back to the Earth's biosphere.
