"Grilled bread with melted cheese sandwich" is a real mouthful....I think that "sandwich" implies the use of bread, so we can probably just eliminate that.
"Grilled with melted cheese sandwich" -- now the "with" doesn't make sense. Axe it.
"Grilled melted cheese sandwich" -- better, but the grilling implies the cheese is hot, thus melted. We can probably remove that, too.
I can make a sandwich that satisfies whoever made that meme. First take 2 slices of mild cheddar, grill them until one side is a crisp brownish orange. Then pick whatever ingredients you want inside. Boom! Pedantic grilled cheese sandwich!
This only works with mild cheddar, due to the high fat content.
Also, I laughed pretty hard at the tattoo meme, even though I've seen it before. Thanks for the groans!
Grillad ostsmörgås in my language = "grilled cheese-sandwhich". Sure, if someone wanted to anal-retentive about it, you could create the word:
[Type of bread including ingredienst and manner of baking] + [Type of cheese] + [Type of heating it]. Like so:
"Stenungsbakat suredgesbröd gjort på grovmalet rågmjöl med en skiva vällagrad Sorte Sara imellan, grillad i smörgåsjärn av gjutjärn över glödande träkol"
The kind of thing you see on the menu for a true hipster-joint where price and the food being as convoluted as possible is the point of it all. Plus being seen eating it of course.
I.e. "make it lame and ghay".
Same as with Hetvägg or Semla. "Wheat bun with almond paste eating during Lent, after it being dipped into a bowl of hot milk". No thanks, if it must be a mouthful, make that mouthful the Semla itself, not is name. Hetvägg is a Semla on/in a plate of hot milk, because in olden days they used old dry wheat buns left over from before Lent so the milk was needed to make them edible again.
I agree, we all know it's the bread that's grilled with the cheese inside. A cheese sandwich that's grilled. But oh the choices - what kind of bread, what kind of cheese, extras or no extras. That's where the arguments begin.
I'm much more concerned with hearing chefs talk about a sauce being "reduced down". I have yet to see a sauce reduced up.
Blech!! As soon as you put the bread in the microwave, it will become mushy or weird with some parts hard and others soft. Just get a pan and do it right!
I couldn't access any email on Monday. My internet provider in its great wisdom decided to "upgrade" to a new system. It takes twice as long to do anything and is quite labyrinthian. They finally sent all my emails along with the deleted ones (2500+) on Tuesday. I seem to have a job again trying to sort this all out and stop getting what would go to spam as emails. I may have to do something drastic, i.e. get a gmail account or something. Ugh. I did enjoy the grilled cheese controversy.
We lived in a trailer park in NH for ~4 years. We got to know one elderly couple who had moved to the park to retire. Due to the rising living costs the husband had to get a part time job two years ago. We moved out of the area last spring. Over the summer the husband ended up in hospital due to heat stroke because he was mowing his lawn in ~90º weather, so I organized to pay a local gardener to mow (and plough snow) for them. There are so many elderly couples in a similar situation - they've had to go back to work because social security isn't enough to survive on, and many people don't have extra retirement savings. The question is, how do we deal with this systemic problem?
I used to work at a high-end restaurant in Florida, and we had couples come in for a meal every week, without fail, and had for more than twenty years. We had some who would come every single day we were open. And one couple came every single day for lunch and dinner. For decades. All of these people collected SS and were on Medicare. My feeling is, if you are that wealthy, the poor don't need to be subsidizing your retirement. I know, I know, they paid in too.
Positive: my son told me about his new chef's gig. It's a restaurant on the top of a fjell at a ski-resort. I asked if he had to slog it a mile uo-slope to get there every day, but no, the employer provides the staff with a couple of snow-obiles so they can use those to get to and from work and their cabin in the valley.
Something I wish more employers would pick up on - make it so people /want to/ come work for you, and not so they /have to/ come work for you. That little extra, lodging and transport, makes for a world of difference in the quality of the staff applying for the job.
Negative: had to remove my last wisdom-tooth last week. Inflamed, karies, whole side of the jaw swollen, et cetera. Cost: eq. of $270. There went the Julklapp ("Christmas gift" to you) money.
But that means we'll go thrift-shopping for gifts at places such as the Red Cross store and the like (and I must say I much prefer going delving into second hand-stores - not only can you find bargains and haggle over the price, you can find stuff that's simply no longer made and is of vastly better quality).
So maybe having to remove that tooth was a positive thing too, or I'm still doped up on painkillers and seeing silver linings on everything.
Thank you for this on my Tuesday morning. That story about Ed - I saw that last week when Zak on RedPillNews played the whole thing. There are still a few good people in the world with the means to do good deeds for others. And Ed deserved all he is getting. I cried, and even hold back a tear recalling it now. I admire Ed, he lived a better life than I. I am amazed he has overcome so much at his age.
The look on the dog's face... worn by moms everywhere. The look that nails you to the wall. Especially if you've lied about something. And you're a really bad liar.

"Grilled cheese sandwich" -- Perfect!
Impeccably argued.
By George, you've got it!

We call it a cheese toastie
I like that name!
Yeppers.

Grilled cheese sammiches are great plain, but I like them best with hot and sweet mustard, bread and butter pickles, and red onion slices.
I had a friend, who just toasted the bread first, put cheese between the toast pieces and microwaved it. Sacrilege!
Blech!! As soon as you put the bread in the microwave, it will become mushy or weird with some parts hard and others soft. Just get a pan and do it right!
*gasp*
That's what we've always called it. You have circled back to the original name. You're over thinking something, Sim Com.
Uh...maybe just way overthinking a grilled cheese sandwich SC? Just saying.
I'm kind of surprised by how many people in your comments appear to interact with Substack via email. Talk about adding a layer of complexity…
I disagree about the grilled cheese sandwich. You could actually interpret this two different ways.
1. As a "grilled cheese" sandwich;
2. As a grilled "cheese sandwich".
#2 would be the correct interpretation.
You're welcome :)
Ok, maybe they've jumped that hurdle. Or not.
this is a test. I don't think my new email system (puke) will post my comments.
Trying to write a comment. Perhaps my new "upgraded" by the email provider email won't let me comment. I would not be surprised.
OK, this time it worked. I may have to find a new provider and, thus, inform everyone of a new email address. Ugh.

The only way to fix it is to protect the value of the money...

Yeah, I mentioned means-testing Social Security elsewhere last week and practically got flamed.

I'm still in shock at how cheap your extraction was. Not like that here in the US!
My uncle had 1 rolled cigarette at 7 years old, my grandmother (his mother) would give him 1 every day for the walk home from school. Quebec 1945 ish.

OK, before I even start, "grilled cheese sandwich" is correct. It is a cheese sandwich that is grilled. T
lol
It’s the cheese sandwich that’s grilled.
The “I Double Dog Dare Ya” has nothing on The Tripple Dogger Dive! Brittanies, (I think) having a blast with the pond by the road! Whoo eee!

Thanks for sharing the pretty mama cat with her kittens and the sweet doggo. 💕
