Dragon Eggs in Lederhosen and Burning Drakes with Random Banter #190

[Mercenary Pen]

That sounds like quite some trouble to go to to make toast... Don't know how to use a grill? ...Grilled cheese is fairly easy to make, sans-grill. I think I'd prefer to have a microwave for all the things designed to be cooked in a microwave, and leftovers (should they actually require being warmed up).

Agreed- microwaves are for cooking jobs that require them (or for leftovers), anything else can be done more simply using other equipment...

I see no reason why my method isn't valid

I see no reason why my method isn't valid

I don't think anyone argued it wasn't valid or wouldn't work, merely that there are easier methods. (In the same way that emptying your bathtub with a teaspoon is a perfectly *valid* way to do it, it's just much easier to pull the plug out ).

[absolmorph]

I broke 150 pounds! This has been something I've wanted for the last couple years!
I still feel scrawny, but I know there's some weight to me now!

Yes, I'm celebrating gaining weight.

... 98 pounds, going to be a junior next year. 5th graders weighh more than me.

Well, see, microwaveing after the toaster, to me atleast, is much easier then using a griddle to grill my grilled cheese, is what I mean.

I could accidentally step on you.

Wha... I... that can't possibly taste nearly as good.

*shudders*

[LaZodiac]

It does, though!

[enderlord99]

It does, though!

What type of cheese do you use, and what is your point of reference for "as good?"

[LaZodiac]

...I use cheddar for my grilled cheese. My frame of reference for good is that it tastes as good as normal grilled cheese.

[Mynxae]

Well, you're the first person I've known to celebrate gaining weight. That isn't muscle, anyhow.

[enderlord99]

...I use cheddar for my grilled cheese.

As is traditional.

My frame of reference for good is that it tastes as good as normal grilled cheese.

...Which is what, exactly?

[LaZodiac]

...I don't know! The type you guys like apparently!

[Amidus Drexel]

I still feel like you wouldn't be able to get the proper texture and taste with a microwave, but to each his own, I suppose.

Well, you're the first person I've known to celebrate gaining weight. That isn't muscle, anyhow.

If memory serves, he's working on getting into the Marines, so I'm pretty sure absol's talking about muscle.

As is traditional.

...Which is what, exactly?

I think American cheese would be traditional. It's about the only place the stuff is any good, though.

I think the answer to that question is fairly obvious...

[Mutant Sheep]

Indeed, I too dread weight gain. Hitting 100 pounds is an achievement I'll save for my twenties, thank you very much.

[LaZodiac]

Well, the idea is that the toaster oven toasts the toast, and then the microwave softens it up (while melting the cheese) and, due to SCIENCE, the bread is now in the state it would be if you grilled it. At least in my experience.

[Amidus Drexel]

Mutant, I could throw you.

Seriously, that's scrawny. You're not a wrestler, by chance?

But, you wouldn't get that wonderful golden-brown colour/flavor or the crispy outside... And where does the butter come in, here?

I may have to try this at some time, to see exactly how big of a difference there is.

[Heliomance]

Times New Roman has serifs, and is anti-aliased.

Fixedsys is sans-serif, monospace (each letter takes up an equal amount of space, giving it a very code-like look) and pixelated.

Fixedsys is also not a standard font, meaning it does n ot display properly on all computers. On a computer without it installed, it defaults to a serif font which looks very similar to TNR; I'm not sure if it actually is or not.

[Deathkeeper]

I didn't break 100 lbs until I was 16. And I haven't gained much weight since.

You would if you used the toaster correctly. Also...I figured the butter was implied. I'm not going to make a toasted cheese sandwich without butter. What am I, a monster?

[Amidus Drexel]

...all you skinny people. Tsk, tsk.

What, by pushing the lever down and waiting for the toast to come out? You can't get golden-brown using a toaster... you can get brown, but if you don't cook it with butter, it won't be golden-brown. The taste would be significantly different, I think, because you won't have fried the butter.

Well, of course! Forgive me; I try not to assume everyone understands the culinary importance of butter.

I wouldn't know. You could very well be a bear with odd tastes in sandwiches.

[absolmorph]

I have a protein-heavy diet and work out a lot.
It's muscle.

If memory serves, he's working on getting into the Marines, so I'm pretty sure absol's talking about muscle.

The Marines are, in fact, the motivation behind my workout.

You've obviously never used good toasters before. I can get em golden brown using a toaster. And assumedly the butter would get fried in the toaster.

[Mutant Sheep]

Mutant, I could throw you.

Seriously, that's scrawny. You're not a wrestler, by cahnce?

Hah. I can throw myself. In logic.

I actually came close to joining the team, if your asking. Too lazy though.

[Amidus Drexel]

Wha... I... the... in....

...you put butter. In your toaster.

I think you're using two different definitions of the word "toaster". I think Drexel is talking about one of these:


Whereas I assume LaLa is talking about one of these:

I meant microwave that second line, you multi coloured psychosis exhibiting horseman (If I recall your avatar is usually a horse).

Whereas I assume LaLa is talking about one of these:

Naw, I mean the former. The latter is really good too though! We used to have one, forget where it went.

Although I such clarify, MY toaster doesn't look like that brave little appliance. It looks much more high tech. Has all these knobs and stuff on it, to ensure for perfect toasting.

[Coidzor]

Whereas I assume LaLa is talking about one of these:

That's no toaster, that's a sandwich press! Speaking of which, I need to dust mine off and start making pizza paninis again.

There's conveyor toasters though, but it's senselessly messy to put butter on the bread before toasting it with most of the models I'm familiar with.

Anyway, while we're on the subject of toast, the best toast is skillet toast with a mixture of butter and olive oil and creole seasoning.

...all you skinny people. Tsk, tsk.

If I weighed 100lbs, I'd be just skin and bones...

I'd be a dessicated corpse that had died of starvation.
