I Wake Up And Prepare My First Meal Of The Day.
By Michael Nugent.
Hello. I'm Michael Nugent, Chairman of Atheist Ireland.
This morning I woke up at 07:01 on Friday the 10th of October 2014 from a sleep of 8 hours 13 minutes.
After leaving my bed, left leg first, I performed my daily ablutions in the bathroom I own.
I then went down the stairs of my house, using the bannister for support, and made my way into the kitchen which is also in my house but downstairs.
After ascertaining there was sufficient water in the kettle with which to make a cup of tea I used the power switch to heat the liquid within to boiling point.
While waiting for the water to boil I removed two slices of Kingsmill Wholewheat bread which I had bought previously from a branch of Tesco near the house I live in. I also bought a number of other items that day along with the bread.
I placed these two slices of bread in the toaster. The toaster is an electric machine I used to turn bread into "toast". Due to numerous experimentation with the toaster I have established that works with both brown and white bread.
I then clicked a switch at the side of the toaster which engaged the bread and performed it's transformation into toast.
My kettle has a whistling function which alerts me when the water has reached a sufficient temperature with which to make tea or freeze dried coffee. This temperature of water (circa 100 degrees Celsius) can also be used to make powdered soups and possibly Horlicks malt drink but the latter has yet to be determined with sufficient experimentation.
Upon hearing the whistle (and whilst the bread was engaged in the toaster) I picked up a porcelain white cup with an enamel veneer. This would be the crucible in which I created my hot beverage.
I added a "tea bag"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_bag and one semi-heaped teaspoon of white granulated cane sugar to the cup. I bought the sugar along with the bread but the tea bags and the cup were purchased on a previous separate excursions from both Asda and Homebase respectively.
Once the ingredients were added to the cup I proceeded to use my right hand to pick up the kettle and pour sufficient liquid from it into the cup thus creating the drinkable infusion known as tea.
As I performed this my toaster's automatic expulsion mechanic audibly expelled the bread upwards alerting me to the fact that the bread had become toast.
I removed the "toasts" from the machine and laid them on a white porcelain plate (also purchased from Homebase but on a separate occasion from the purchase of the cup) and proceeded to apply Lurpak butter (Tesco) to them using a flat bladed stainless steel "butter knife" (Homebase) of roughly 7 inches in length.
I added roughly 2 scrapes of butter to the topside of each slice of toast and placed the used knife into a kitchen sink I own. This knife along with all other breakfast accoutrements would be washed some time in the future.
