Mustard on the CHEESE?: Idiosyncracies!

Ive no idea where that crazy idea came from but I love it ! Or sometimes I add Branston pickle instead.

I`m going to give US style grilled cheese a go, I`ll have to look up how to do it, its actually done in a pan on top of the stove isnt it ? I dont think we have miracle whip here.

I've known people to use mayonnaise as well but MW is better for that, imo. A grilled cheese is best in a cast iron skillet. You butter the outsides of the bread and the cheese and any other toppings/sauces go inside. Toast each side until cooked through.

I like to dip the edge of my grilled cheese into pickle juice, but I'm weird.

Thanks for the tip, I shall give it a try...may pass on the pickle juice though !

Well, you said sometimes you added a pickle. The pickle juice is not a requirement.

I can't stand drinking lukewarm water. I place a bottle of water in the freeze for 20 minutes to make sure it's good and cold before drinking.....

I agree. Water that is really not cold almost makes me gag.

I also prefer sparking water to plain water.

I really am not an H2O drinker but have to push myself.

I'm strange...I'd rather drink room temperature water. Or..with very little ice to just cool it down a smidgen.

Gin and tonic has always been `my` drink, though I hardly ever drink at all these days...but if I do thats what I like, lots of tonic, ice and instead of just a slice of lemon or lime I`ve joined in the current trend of adding berries sometimes instead, 2 or 3 frozen blackberries make the drink almost neon in colour. A slice or too of blood orange or grapefruit work well too. I also love all the fancy bottles different Gin brands are doing at the moment.

I have a hard time with change and with that being said............

Even tho I moved away from West Seattle almost two years ago, I still retain the same hairstylists and dry cleaner! Yes, you read that right I said DRY CLEANER.............LOL
