Oh, and my toaster oven seems to be a very poor model. No broiler setting, no bagel setting.
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.

move out and draw fire
I'm guessing 'broiler' is American for 'grill' then.
It is, because the grill is the thing you cook on outside, with the coals. Or, the George Foreman grill. (xpost)
I've always seen it called Welsh Rarebit.
I just had this discussion with my Cornish friend, and we even hit the OED. Turns out "rarebit" is folk etymology, and "rabbit" is correct. FWIW.

I shall have to inform my Welsh friends that their national dish has delusions of grandeur.
The thing outside is the barbeque. The pan with the lines is the grillpan. Reading American cookbooks is going to make more sense now, I think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heh, yeah, I guess so. We'd call it a grillpan, too, but there's also the George Foreman Grill, which is a plug-in countertop dealie.

How long should it be under the broiler, though?
(Boy, I really ought to be doing my homework.)

A couple minutes -- keep an eye on it.

PS: I ought to be doing homework, too.

Yes, we should all be doing our homework, but if the rest of you aren't, I'd feel much better about it.

Maybe we can stretch the Welsh Rabbit/cooking methods discussion out a few more hours...?

Swouncing
I love the way everything smells after a good rain.
I was leaving the apartment with newest-roommate, and we were talking and stuff, and then I just stopped in the middle with "is that a rain smell?". It was like 30 seconds before it started actually raining, but the smell was already there. I love it.
I do continue to stand my opinion that I'm happy to have ever-changing weather, because it makes you appreciate stuff.
Oh, yes! I like it so much when there is a weather, you know? When you can tell that you're outside and not in an air-conditioned or merely closed-up room. I usually get tired from a season and want a change around the time a change actually occurs, so that's working up nicely for me (MeME).
Welsh Rabbit?
Thanks, Jesse and DX. And I guess Jessica explained the source of the name, right? Not that we don't have strange names for stuff, too. I mean, a hotdog baked wrapped in dough is called "Moses in the Ark".
