Punishingly Intricate

Butter the bread and shred the cheese! (Which I learned about in a grilled cheese cookbook)

I need to go pack as I listen to this terrible status call. ugh. Oh my god do they have to stop blaming their terrible design decisions on the way our requirements were written!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

BTW, working on Fridays in the summer is un-American.

I am soooo sleepy. I have a whole big thing to read, but I cannot deal with it!

Because books.

I've never been able to make a grilled cheese as good as one you can get in a coffee shop or diner, though. Something about those grills and the very orange cheese ...

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Today should be my Friday but I need money and yesterday was a half day due to rain, so I'm working a partial day tomorrow. Thursday hasn't been my Friday, well, since summer started. Doing it wrong, apparently.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Thank you, Jessica and ita ! and tommyrot. I am elucidated.

As am I. Zenkitty and I are brainsharing today. (Zen, the song stuck in my head is "Steppin' Out With My Baby" as performed by Tony Bennett. Just in case you want to brainshare my earworm.)

brainshare my earworm

(Yes, I just quoted what I wrote one line above.) "Brainshare my earworm." I love the English language.

Also, our butter is stored in the fridge and is too hard to spread, so I melt the butter in the pan for grilled cheese.

I can't store butter on the counter, as it melts and goes bad. My kitchen is that warm.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Even if hackers had gotten into his online backup system like Carbonite, I'm pretty sure those files are stored for something like 30 days, so it would have been salvageable.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I butter the top bread, but melt butter in the pan for the bottom one. Efficiency! And lots of butter.

Me too. And butter the inside of the bottom bread because more butter = more yum

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The best homemade grilled cheese I've made recently was on very thin white bread, and I'm pretty sure what was so good about it was the higher ratio of bread to butter. More like a restaurant.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Keep butter at room temp, butter the outside of both slices of bread, spicy brown mustard on the inside, pepper jack cheese and tomato. Boom. Perfect sandwich.
