Things I Need to Live

Cheese
I think I could pretty easily be a vegetarian – I never really liked meat when I was younger and find myself forgetting to eat it pretty often.  I would, however, have a very hard time being vegan, because of my debilitating lust for cheese.  I frigging love love love cheese.  If I could live off a diet of complete cheese in different formats, I would be a pretty happy lass.  If I could drape myself in a cheese suit, and breathe in cheese and live in a tent made of stretched out melted cheese… well, you get the picture.  Here is a siiiiick recipe for a deee-licious grilled cheese sammy:

Delicious Sweet and Savory Grilled Cheese Sammy

Prep Time: Depends how slow you move your hands
Makes: One serving for Natalie… Four servings for a non-cheese-obsessed person

4 slices thick-cut Gruyere Cheese
Butta
8 Slices organic cranberry walnut bread, cut relatively thin (but not TOO thin)
Sweet Onions
Arugula
Red Pepper Jelly for Dippin’
Frying Pan

Caramelize the onions however one does that.  I think you are supposed to fry them for a really long time or something like that.  And maybe you drizzle caramel on them.  Then, put the butta on the cranberry walnut bread (outsides), then put the gruyere in the middles with a couple of pieces of arugula (only a couple, because if you put too much then it is too arugula-y), and put the caramelized onions on them, then fry the outsides until it gets all crispy and the cheese is all melty and delicious.  Cut ‘er along the diagonal and put the red-pepper jelly on the side for dips!

    mmmm, I just throw a shitload of Gruyere on any delicious type of bread the local bakery has made fresh in the morning, panini grill that in my krupps for seven minutes and slather in red pepper jelly. Your recipe is way more fancy. Yummmm…..
