If it was some variety of grilled cheese, I'll be impressed.
A lot of people underestimate how extraordinarily difficult it is to pull of the perfect grilled cheese sandwich.
You have to use good quality cheddar, which doesn't melt so easily as the fake stuff. You have to get it melted all the way through to the middle, and you have to do that without getting the pan so hot that you singe the outside of the bread. You have to use the exactly correct amount of butter in the pan so that it's crispy and never soggy.
By God, it's no easy feat!

Truer words were never spoken. The distance between golden brown and dogfood can be a hair's breadth.

What the hell are you talking about? Cheddar isn't bad, but the best grilled cheese is made with American cheese. And mine are always perfect thank you very much!
...just had one for dinner, actually

Hie yer hence from me heath!
Same here... :bigsmile:
Eh, what can I brag about...? :thinking: I recently taught myself how to play a song on the guitar - learning by ear. Quite an achievement for a mediocre guitar player with limited knowledge of music theory.
Oh, and I can play the intro and verse to Xandu by Rush on the electric guitar.

It was not a cheese sandwich!
It was bacon, potato salad, lettuce, with the bread toasted over an open flame (dry dark scorch textured on the surface but still perfectly pliable on the inside), slightly buttered on the inner sides afterwards when it was still warm.
..It took four tries not to catch the bread on fire, but once I had time and distance down, and the smoke cleared, it was fantastic.
Your cheddar sandwich sounds pretty great too. I'd add ham and a serve it with a little bit of ketchup, though.

Philistine! Heretic! Nothing so bland and artificial should ever be called "cheese".
Potato salad sandwich sounds interesting. I have little use for ketchup though, and never on a sandwich. Iew. The ideal grilled cheese for me also has bacon and pickles.

I completely agree with you on that. Technically its official label is "cheese product" or something. It's still tasty in some things though

Everyone bring it, I'll defend this statement to the grave!
I just can't do it. Ketchup on a sandwich is rough, even for a hogger like me.
Now, you spread some of that tangy goodness on a little mac & cheese and we're going places.

^Do you think anyone reading your post would not immediately attempt to lick their own elbow? :bigsmile:......I tried but can't.
I can lick the tip of my nose. I don't know if that is unusual? I don't know enough people to do a survey to find out if many people can do that. :idontknow:
Never dawned on me for one minute. :kiss:
I hit myself in the face trying. Ow..
