Tuesday

How, exactly, does someone "make" toast? All that's happening is the gradual heating of bread--most likely made by someone else--which leads to it's toasty exterior. All you did was change bread. Now, if you made the bread yourself, then I suppose you could say that you created "pre-toast," if that's really your end game. But "making toast" is, by all accounts, an incorrect statement. Your role is really just watching "toast" happen.

I suppose, though, that a potential hole in this argument is that you can "make croutons"--and therein lies the rub.
