Rachel's Tip Of The Day

So besides dealing with the cats knocking down the Christmas tree the other night (yes, I know the date, yes, I took it down last night, or actually, the girls took everything down and I just carted it off to the trash), I have discovered a new way to make melted cheese sandwiches.

My previous method:

  • Turn oven on to broil
  • Put bread in oven
  • Wait forever for the bread to toast, watch obsessively for quite a while, once lulled into a false sense of security, thinking that the bread will never toast, the bread will go from white to black in about fifteen seconds.
  • Turn bread over, put cheese on, put back under broiler.
  • Cheese takes approximately 2.5 seconds to go from cold to almost burnt. Pull sandwiches out, burn at least two fingers, because was certain could pull them out without actually touching them, but, once again, was wrong.
  • Realize that the soup isn't done yet. Sandwiches sit on counter on plate, getting colder and more unappetizing by the minute.

    New, improved method:

  • Turn on broiler, wait until soup is almost hot.
  • Put bread under hot broiler, watch carefully for bread to toast.
  • Turn bread over and put cheese on bread.
  • Put sandwiches back under broiler, turn off broiler. (this is the secret step!)
  • Wait for soup to get hot. Obsessively check on sandwiches.
  • Realize happily that cheese is slowly melting, but not burning, and sandwiches are staying hot.
  • Dish up soup, pull sandwiches out of oven (still without potholder, but they're not quite as hot as before), put sandwiches on table, hot and unburnt.
  • Congratulate self for the rest of the evening about the miraculous cheese sandwiches.

    Here's how I make cheese sandwiches:
    1. Toast bread in toaster. It pops up when it is done, requiring no watching
    2. Stick cheese on toast.
    3. Microwave for 30 seconds.

    Perfect sandwiches every time. The cheese gets melty, the toast is toasty, and no burning.

    Hey. Good habits, which bring our lower passions and appetites under automatic control, leave our natures free to explore the larger experiences of life.
    I am from Timor and learning to read in English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "For script, city scene and punt framed from part types are loyal, failing no work for most performances."

    Thank you very much :-D. Kyros.
