The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for May 14, 2023

I bet that chef Gordon Ramsey wouldn’t be able to do it.

Good choice! I approve.

guess withour instructions he wouldn’t know which side of his bread was buttered

Ya gotta start somewhere

I recommend the bacon and tomato option.

…it qualifies! Sort of….

Better than the same old Salisbury Steak or Chicken Pot Pie at least.

Gotta start somewhere!

That’s about as far as my culinary skills go too !

You can do better than that. I can do a lot better than that.

Sounds kind of complicated.

Happy Mother’s day Ye Born Losers. Cheese!

I guess Uncle Ted never learned how to cook.

When someone asks me what I’m up to, I used to reply 5-10 but now it’s closer to 5-9.

Bobby Flay can make that an exquisit meal.

Must have been out of cereal, mac and cheese boxes and ramen, my old bachelor stand-bys. Can never go wrong with grilled cheese, though. Hope there’s tomato soup in the house

Look for the recipes with the most stains, they’re usually the best

Most of my cooking I owe to my mom’s direction. She taught me a lot. But, over the years, I’ve simplified those recipes to speed the process, and often, improve the taste. But, some of her best recipes haven’t changed, like her icebox fruitcake. Yum. Now, that’s the way the fruitcake was meant to taste.

It is hard to beat a good grilled cheese sandwich.

Hey, works for me!

That’s about the extent of my cooking abilities!

starting off on something easy first, smart. :J

Uncle Ted has an easy taste pallet to satisfy!

Many options beyond a plain grilled cheese. Add your favorite sliced meat, with some mayo or mustard. Fill with your preferred pizza toppings and sauce, with mozzarella or parmesan cheese. A filling of canned tuna, mayo, onions, peppers and shredded cheddar makes a great tuna melt. Decisions, decisions…

How? Can I have the recipe?

That’s not too hard a recipe to attempt.

Start with the basics first. Good idea. Add some bacon next time. Grill some mushrooms and onions. Next time, toss a hamburger patty next time and now we are talking some good eating…….

My ex wanted grilled cheese. I had never eaten it (I don’t like cheese and I don’t recall my mom ever making one) but we had bread, cheese and butter and I found it extremely easy. Eventually I varied it, but I see nothing complicated about a basic grilled cheese sandwich. I think that is the point here and I am being too logical again.

That would require some effort, beyond nuking it.

“Wow”, says Brutus, “That’s great, I can’t even boil water without burning it”…

“But” says Brutus, “I put the grill away for the winter”…

It is possible to ruin a grilled cheese sandwich, heck it’s possible to ruin toast,or a frozen dinner.

“Well” replies Brutus “Glady got some swell new frozen dinners that I know you haven’t tried”…

I’m with Uncle Ted there. That’s about the extent of my cooking abilities, too.

99% of the cheese sandwiches were a slice of cheese and the toaster though the frying pan method is so much tastier

With Tomato soup! Yummy!
