Starbucks Anyone?

Today I dropped my wife off to work and I managed to drive to the nearest Starbucks to bring her coffee. I am first amazed about the many different locations of the good ol' coffe shop and you think because there are so many around, almost every corner that many people would choose the Starbucks closer to their house.
As I approached my destination I saw a line. My preconceived notions were this trip was going to only be a 5 to 10 minute outing. It turned to be a 20 minute nightmare. It seems everyone and their mother had the same idea to go the same Starbucks at the same time. It is a Saturday morning don't people sleep in anymore! Well needless to say, I will continue to go to Starbucks even when there is a line or not. I think they put something in their coffee so people come back again. It is a conspiracy.

Grilled Cheese is the Best!

Well,

I was thinking of before I was married and thought of what my cooking pertained too. I could only make peanut butter and jelly, quesadilla's, and the great grilled cheese.

I found several different ways to make this mighty and great sandwich, which none of them are for the health conscious.

The simple- two pieces of bread- cheese of your choice- a stove or some way to grill. If that does not work a microwave can work but I don't like the way it taste personally.

The meat packer- two pieces of bread (your choice)- cheese of your choice- add meat of your choice (roast beef is really good for this)- over an oven until golden brown.

The Heart Stopper- two pieces of bread-cheese of your choice- meat of your choice- butter to put on both sides of the bread- shredded parmasan cheese for the top and bottom. The reason why this one is called the heart stopper is because of the butter and amount of chees and meat it produces a lot of grease so beware.

The simple + Crunch- Same as the simple but add chips in the middle of the grilled cheese.

What are some ways you have a grilled cheese sandwich?
