Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Y'all have seen the Grilled Cheese Invitational, no?

CATEGORIES OF COMPETITION
[link]

There will be four categories of sammiches in this competition. Each is outlined as follows:

The Missionary Position: Standard white bread (no sourdough), orange cheese (Cheddar or American), and standard butter (or margarine).

Spoons: Any kind of bread, any kind of cheese (or cheeses), and any kind of butter.

The Kama Sutra: Any kind of bread, any kind of butter, and any kind of cheese PLUS additional ingredients(the interior ingredients must be at least 60% cheese).

The Honey Pot: Any kind of bread, any kind of butter, and any kind of cheese (the interior ingredients of the sammich must be at least 60% cheese), and with an overall flavor that is sweet and would best be served as dessert.

I'd share mine with you, flea, but, I eated them.

Honeycrisp are the best. Then Galas and Granny Smiths. I used to like MacIntosh when I was a kid, but these days I find they go mushy too quickly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Like corn, I find most apples disappointing now, if I don't know where/when they were picked. It's a shame.

I made this [link] over the weekend to get rid of some substandard Granny Smiths. Much improved.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I couldn't stand it. I just ate a granny smith apple and cheddar cheese.

I wanted to go to that, lori, but didn't realize it until after the event was over.

I HAVE SO MUCH WORK TO DO. How will I go on?!?!

“Not dead yet!”

Mostly, I just think that different times call for different cheeses. I would Not Be Pleased if I went to a wine bar and ended up with Kraft singles, but I'm also not going to make a grilled cheese sandwich with manchego.

I now want grilled Halloumi with chili sauce.

The plastic cheese grilled cheese sandwich is a distinct (and delicious) category from all other grilled cheese sandwiches.

And should preferably be served with Campbell's tomato soup.

I like Red Delicious apples. Also Galas and Fuji.

Grilled cheese sandwich + Campbell's tomato soup = OTP

Especially if it's snowy outside and you just came in after making a great big snowman and/or snowfort and having a snowball fight with your siblings.
