Approximately $2.6 billion was spent on this presidential election. In 2008, there were something like 130 million votes cast. So, if we have something like that turn out again today, that'd be about $20 spent per vote received (for any candidate). Why we don't have biscuits sponsored at polling places blows my mind.

The whole point is that we do not have water right now, so I cannot clean up after preparing said grilled cheese. Putting bread in a toaster and then nuking it to melt cheese is the only way I could do that without using water to clean up right away, but we have no toaster. /nitpicking



I'm enjoying this little daily show & colbert marathon.

the day that will not end....

11/6/2012 2:16:07 PM

But you could put cheese on bread and stick it under the broiler and then squish it together. I don't own a toaster either.

11/6/2012 2:16:44 PM

no foil to line a baking sheet or the oven rack - and as much as I've cleaned that thing since we moved here, I still won't eat anything that touches it. Moot point anyway, because I had a peanut butter sammich two hours ago.

Totally unsatisfying

And holy Gerard Butler Sooo fine

We have way too many boxes labeled "cat toys." I had one tiny little box of cat toys and that's it. Curious to see what ends up in those boxes.

what the heck do you do to make a grilled cheese sandwich so messy?

11/6/2012 3:17:23 PM

Putting way too much damn cheese on the sandwich.

11/6/2012 3:20:13 PM

who doesn't free base their grilled cheese w/ a lighter?

come on guys

11/6/2012 3:22:19 PM

go to a diner and get one. grilled cheeses made on a grill top where they make burgers > all others


OM NOM NOM GREASY GOODNESS

11/6/2012 3:24:31 PM

2 slices of cheese, butter the bread, if you have a decent nonstick pan there's no need for water. just paper towel it once youre done and call it a day

11/6/2012 3:27:59 PM

haha saps and I do dishes the same way

11/6/2012 3:29:44 PM

why would anyone ever need water to make a grilled cheese?

11/6/2012 3:31:49 PM

not to make it but to clean up... remind me not to eat at any of yall nasty asses houses

I have no idea how cheese flanked by toasted bread can be messy. But I guess I'm weird.

11/6/2012 3:52:57 PM

I am a fucking grilled cheese guru. If y'all need any tips, let me know.

11/6/2012 3:53:53 PM

first off, a proper grilled cheese has mayo too, and when cooked right, there should be loss of center contents due to "leakage." also, throw in the fact that the bread should be sufficiently buttered prior to cooking to achieve maximum golden deliciousness. after properly assembling and cooking said sammich, the pan should be in a state of dirtiness, requiring a standard cleaning.

11/6/2012 4:08:30 PM

.....did you just say MAYO!?

I would cut someone for put mayo on my grilled cheese. NO NO NO

11/6/2012 4:13:25 PM

no mayo please

11/6/2012 4:14:34 PM

apparently I'm trying to describe greatness to a bunch of mayo hatin non pan cleaning heathens, so i will bow out now and save myself the headache

11/6/2012 4:15:01 PM

While I do think mayo on grilled cheese can be tasty, saying a "proper" one has it is a lie.

11/6/2012 4:17:39 PM

1. Butter 2 slices of bread
2. Heat pan on medium-high
3. Place slice one butter side down in pan
4. Put cheese on bread in pan (I usually do 1 slice cheddar and 1 slice provolone)
5. Place 2nd slice of bread on top, butter side up
6. Once bottom slice is nice and brown, flip.
7. Cook flipped sammie until bottom is brown. By the time the bottom slice is brown, the cheese should be perfectly melted.

Clean up should require little more than a rinse of the pan with soap and water.

^signed

sometimes i do a tomato slice or bacon to shake things up a little bit

11/6/2012 4:23:34 PM

^^ mine is pretty much the same, but with mayo (and sometimes some seasoning if it is accompanying a soup)

but yeah, still need to clean that pan with some soap and water!

^sometimes i add some ham to make a croque monsieur, or some salami for a little extra taste

[Edited on November 6, 2012 at 4:25 PM. Reason : h]

11/6/2012 4:24:13 PM

pepperoni and hot sauce are also good additions. but that's more a pepperoni panini than a grilled cheese at that point

11/6/2012 4:24:33 PM

Yeah, I was going to add that in the summer I will add a fresh tomato slice in between the slices of cheese.

11/6/2012 4:27:43 PM

i am in the mayo boat.

11/6/2012 4:28:44 PM

I like mayo too, but it is definitely not a standard ingredient in "proper" grilled cheese

11/6/2012 4:29:44 PM

i guess we will have to agree to disagree on the great mayo debate of 2012

11/6/2012 4:34:34 PM

I can tell you someone who sure as hell won't put mayo on a gc

11/6/2012 4:49:25 PM

mayo on a grilled cheese?

what the fuck

11/6/2012 4:53:26 PM

Mayo is so weird. It is so delicious but also so disgusting. I love it, but not when I have to think too hard about the fact that I'm eating it.

11/6/2012 4:55:35 PM

it's great for mixing with things though

straight up i don't care for it

but simple things like putting sriracha in it, or for one of my favorite burger recipes ill dice andioulle sausage and mix into the beef, molasses braised onions, and a mayo with that Tony Chacheres creole seasoning

dem's good.

Seriously, if I had aluminum foil, this wouldn't be an issue because the broiler would work great. But I take cleanliness in my nasty old kitchen very seriously. A paper towel just won't cut it

The whole point here was that we do not have water.

11/6/2012 5:13:59 PM

So you have internet but no water? Time to check your priorities.

11/6/2012 5:20:09 PM

in no way should not having water keep you from making a grilled cheese sandwich, thats just absurd. You dont have to stack that shit with epic cheeses and fillings, two slices and youre good with no leakage. unless youre using a pan from the 1950's all that should be left is a little butter residue which can be wiped right off. place the pan in the dishwasher and when the water comes back run the dishwasher. I'm sorry but in a time when so many people have no power or light or heat fretting over not being able to immediately clean a frying pan spotless after you use it seems rather silly.

11/6/2012 5:31:06 PM

fuckfuckfuck

so much to do

11/6/2012 5:38:57 PM

Soooooooooo. I wish I had cable.

Went to the doctor today and I've moved down an entire fat bracket.

What's a fat bracket?


I remember it was pretty cool when my Wii Fit told me I was overweight instead of of obese.

11/6/2012 8:36:30 PM

Polls.

11/6/2012 8:40:11 PM
