Okay, so in the WHN household I'm known and noted for 3 culinary delicacies:
Mac and Cheese
Coffee
and my piece de irresistance: Grilled Cheese Sandwich.
So, here's how I do it:
You got your bread. I like to use a hearty bread like oatmeal, 12-grain, 7-grain, whatever. But no white bread. That's just wrong.
Anyhoo, I grill up some onions and peppers. Usually Sweet Onion or Vidalia Onion and Red Peppers. Though Orange and Yellow Bell peppers work nicely too.
For cheese: something with some kick. My favorite is Sargento's Chipotle Jack Cheddar. Two slices per sandwhich.
So you put your grilled veggies between the two slices of cheese and bread, butter the bread and grill.
I like to sprinkle the buttered bread with red pepper flakes, (and if I know for sure I'm not getting any that night) some garlic.
So there you have it. Yummy goodness.
You need to come work with me when I open my gourmet grilled cheese place. *is a regular grilled cheese guru*
I don't know about working, but I sure as hell will come as a customer. You just can't go wrong with a good grilled cheese sandwich. It's one of those "kid foods" that you just can't give up.
Oh man I love grilled cheese so freaking much.
I will definitely have to make this sometime.
Goes good with chocolate milk.
The trick with cooking an ultimate grilled cheese sandwich, aside from using bread OTHER than white, is the ability to cook the bread to the diner's request.
For example, Mr. Suu enjoys his grilled cheese in a nice golden brown all over. Me? I want my bread dark, near burnt. But if you DO burn it, then it tastes like ashes and you'll more than likely set off the smoke alarm in your house.
Yeah, I'm with you. I like it pretty dark too. With some texture but not crispy dark.
I think once D-Cup moves up here that we need to have a grilled cheese party.
The illusion of nutrition before boozemuffins , huh? : D
Actually, since D-Cup enjoys cooking, perhaps she may join us as Casa Richter for the Roman Banquet?
D-cup is welcome to attend!
Better with another person there to verify how the end of my apartment went down : )
Oooh. This sounds intriguing and alluring.
As well as boozemuffins, I make a spinach artichoke dip that has resulted in multiple marriage proposals, and what has been widely hailed as the best Boston Cream Pie EVAR.
I will gladly bring sacrifices!
Geez, what happens if we come and my wife ends up proposing to you? The intrigue, the scandal!
The good news is, I currently have a 100% rate of rejecting proposals. And really, I'd hate to do anything that would jeopardize my chances of seeing more hilariously awful puns about things like spicy racks! :p
Oh dear...the next Discordian convergence is going to be in Worcester over ancient food and puns.
This could be interesting.
Actually, the next Discordian convergence will be in Scotland, over sheep, haggis, kilts and whisky.
You WERE invited....

Saucy!
Um... Worcester?
If it's not at Coney Island, I'm not coming.

Hey, you couldn't be bothered to come to Boston, we're not coming to Scotland. Jeez.

I know I was. I just can't exactly afford it right now.

I'm actually inclined to believe that parts of Worcester are more gross than Coney Island.

Coney Island Hot Dogs. Local flavor.
I'm more partial to Hot Dog Annies' but that's just taste.
The place has it's gross parts thou.
Directings and formal invites will be distribute once a day can be agreed upon. Sounds like we're pushing back to Oct. / Nov. for when D-cup is around. It'd be a kick if I threw this around my birthday too.
So we get to burn down your kitchen experimenting on Roman recipes and grilled cheese for your birthday? SWEET!
Arson: the birthday present that just keeps on giving!
Just when I thought grilled cheese couldn't get any better, this comes along. Sounds delish...

Worcester, eh? 'Bout 1 - 1 1/2 away from me. Haven't been out there, or even driven through, in forever. Boston so much closer. My friend/roommate goes out there a lot though, since she's got friends and some family there.
I suggest this course of action for a Discordian Thanksgiving.
I like it! But it can't be actual Thanksgiving weekend, because I'm coming back to the NY area for that, as it is my birthday, plus the birthday of two of my good friends, so we're getting a room at a bar in NYC.
The place we're getting a room lets birthday people drink for free as long as they bring non-birthday people to the bar, which we will most definitely do.
I do not expect to remember that night at all.
Obviously, anyone who wants to come, can. But really, I just want to make sure I can go!
Erisian Candian thanksgiving then? (need to call Gram and make sure it wont overlapp REAL Canadian T-giving)
Actually, I think I'll be in Worcester for a wedding on Nov 10.
And yes, Coney Island is this: http://www.coneyislandlunch.com/gallery.html

And the great thing is it only takes about 10 minutes to cook. Quick and easy.
Bumped to remind myself to make this soon. :D
We grew some peppers this summer. Not the big ones you get in the grocery store, but smaller ones. We let them get nice and red before we picked them. So I made that sammich with the home grown peppers. Just scooped out the innards and cut them into rings. They were a bit more pungent and provided some excellent flavoring. Alas, I must wait til next season until I can enjoy them again.
I will fucking challenge you to a grilled cheese cookoff ANYDAY.

IDEA! Some older guy that works with my boyfriend cooks all kinds of hot peppers and gives some to my boyfriend when he picks them. I think we still have a few left at home. Super spicy grilled cheese!
I ended up just now making grilled cheese (asiago) with fried eggs.
Grilled cheese is whitey's quesadilla.
Bump becase these sammiches still fucking own!
The red peppers are a terrible idea, too sweet, not much flavor. Roast some poblanos and you would be much better off. Also Carmelized onions and bacon lardons Don't forget to season your cheese with fleur de sel.

No. You see, the Mexicans of the Sonoran Fjords grew many varieties of pepper with which to ornament their crushed-quartz landscaping, but did not discover their edibility until 1947, when a group of native Californians led by the famous indian bandit Julia Child attacked one of their villages in search of brandy and was taken captive. In exchange for her freedom, Julia Child taught them to make guacamole in the traditional Japanese style, using chilies directly from their ornamental gardens and forever earning the respect of the Fjord peoples.

Really impressive. Pat yourself on the back if you haven't already. Can a mod sticky this?
I think a food troll should probably have at least some sort of baseline knowledge of food. I wouldn't hire this guy to be my back-up salad bitch.
He seems angry.

It's too bad he can't just ban us, like his hero did.
Then he might not be so butthurt.
Ah, baby trolls are CUTE.
