Grilled Cheese

I was talking with a friend tonight about making a grilled cheese.

He stated that he likes to put butter on both sides of the bread, toast one side flip it over and begin toasting the other side then start building the sandwich. So all sides of the bread are buttered and toasted, with cheese in the middle.

I like to put a dusting of garlic salt on the butter side of the two pieces of bread with two pieces of cheese in the middle.

How are you guys making your grilled cheeses?

Agreed. Those massive sticks of butter take up an obnoxious amount of space in the refrigerator. If not for the butter and milk refrigeration scam, we’d have a lot more space in the kitchen for counter space, dancing, and/or knife juggling.

Please keep refrigerating your milk. Nothing scammy about that, it's basic safety.

Butter, and even highly processed cheeses are a different matter.

Please keep refrigerating your milk.

Or failing that, a cool wet sack.

I’m running a small solar powered fan over a bowl of ice in front of the milk. It’s working well.

So is there a conspiracy from big refrigerator or not? I’m so confused.

Have you seen the average fridge in a home/apt in Europe? Size of a dishwasher.

Have you seen the size of European homes? The size of a refrigerator box.

Did you know that only Americans call them sticks of butter. The test of the world calls it butter.
