Post Happy Hour Thursday night...

So our, oh so always lovely and always so full of content, Happy Hour show on Thursday, after talking about the infamous American cheese between 2 loafs sandwich got me craving for some grilled cheese!!

I have always had a fascination and appreciation for culinary arts, and so I do the occasional cooking here and there. For most of the time I am fairly successful in cooking up the delicious dish, but the simplicity can leave you vulnerable and easily deceived!

That night after the show, I went on to the grocery store to acquire the necessary ingredients… bread, butter, cheese, and determination (no price on this one). It was not the early evening hours any longer when I arrived back home, but I still really wanted to have my infamous cheese sandwich! Now I would attempt to use my state of tiredness during that time as an excuse, but it will not be valid as excitement drew this hidden energy in me to make this yummy sandwich!

Off I go, turned the heat on, slapped on to the heated pan the both side buttered bread loafs! Walla! I turned my back for a second to cut the cheese into slices, because I have bought the “block” style cheese, and when I went to flip the bread… all I saw was blackness… just like the depth of the abyss in my heart in that split moment… I burned the bread! But I was still hungry, still very much craving for the notorious sandwich that I swallowed that black hole of mine!...

However, out of the hole, a light was found. Not only I was reminded that night, to not judge the children story book by the fact that is presumed simple because it’s for children. But that even in a book like that, skill, timing, concentration, art, and of course… heart!...are all abundantly put into that book, just as I should have done the same, for that cheese sandwich.

Why have I written this? How was I inspired? Is it because that I am writing this past midnight and that excitement factor kicked out the hidden energy for me to be productive once again? Could it be because of my fascination of the culinary arts in creating the perfect cheese sandwich? Or is it truly because of my love that drove me to write this up for the Happy Hour blog… You will just have to return! Tune in to the Happy Hour! And with me, you will discover more than just the art in creating the mouth popping grilled cheese!!
