Flaming you on request is kinda boring, don’t you think? Instead, why don’t I spray you with liquid nitrogen? That way you can be iced instead, then we can make you into shavings and pour flavored syrup on you and you can be a sno-cone.
Maybe if you were to have started a ‘flame me’ thread, with the intention not of being able to take it, but with the promise that you wouldn’t be able to take it, and would completely break down. We’d flame you to be able to see that.
So: what’s the ultimate way to make a grilled cheese sandwich? There was a discussion on this topic a while ago and I think it bears being re-discussed.
In my opinion, a really good grilled cheese sammich is made with: Kraft “real” American cheese (two cups of milk in every package!), horrible Wonder-esque white bread-like product that you’d normally never touch on any other occasion and butter/margarine.
Butter all four sides of two pieces of bread-like product. Put additional butter in a frying pan. Put the cheese (two slices, no more) between the bread-like product. Grill/fry until golden and crispy on one side. Flip and grill 'till golden and crispy on the other side. The cheese will be molten.
Some people believe in smoooshing the sammich flat while in the pan, but I disagree as the action of smoooooshing smoooshes out large quantities of melted butter.
You butter both sides of the bread? I’ve gotta tell you, I never did that. I’ve always just buttered the outside. Doesn’t buttering the inside make the sandwich kind of soggy?
I’m agnostic, and philosophically so. I’m not wishy-washy about God. I’ve come to the clear conviction that God, as known to and conceived by us on this earth, is a man-made entity. The question of whether God really does exist, and how faith and redemption should work, are moot questions to me, and I don’t know how to consider them outside the framework of what I already see.
That makes me pretty firmly agnostic–I don’t think that questions about God can be answered at all, except as an examination of a sociological phenomena.
But, there are two dopers here who have unintentionally challenged me to re-examine my ideas, and made me reconsider my lack of religious faith, and they’ve done so by setting a perfect example of Christian virtue: Tomndebb, and Polycarp.
There aren’t pushy about their faith; it hasn’t seemed to make them arrogant, or prideful, or judgemental; they appear to draw strength from it, while still understanding the human concerns all of us agnostics and atheists have.
If I ever “come back to God”, it’ll be by their examples, not yours.
That’s a fucking good question. It’s probably been about 8 years. Maybe more. Now, do you toast the bread first? And if so, do you maybe think about firing up the broiler in the oven, and toasting the bread with the peanut butter on it, so that the PB gets all melty?
That hurts. Mostly because I know it’s true. I’m not doing anyone any favors by being pushy, and when I get my back up, I tend to do so! Polycarp was a great example to me as well, heck he challenged MY faith just by being a better example of a Christian than I was.
