All I want to do is make a toasted cheese sandwich
I have done a lot of stupid things in my life, some of which I am unfortunately proud of and others which I sweep into a closet marked DO NOT OPEN and leave said closet guarded by an evil monkey with an attitude problem. However only occasionally do I repeatedly do something that I know is stupid- and infact dangerous- but carry on doing it anyway.
One such thing is making toasted cheese sandwiches in the toaster.
Now there is a specific item to carry out this function-I think its called a sandwich maker- but we don't really have it in my kitchen so that invention means nothing to me and I have been forced to improvise. What I do is get a slice of cheese, slip it between two slices of bread and then put it directly into the toaster (and you need to get the right size of bread or they won't fit in the toaster and you will look foolish). This is a stupid thing to do because when the cheese melts and gets into the toaster, anything could happen and it is unlikely to be something that will be beneficial to mankind. Sure I'll have my toasted cheese and I'll enjoy it, but I could also burn down the kitchen and cause some kind of electrical catastrophe. These are the risks one takes when figuring out how best to eat bread. You could just go with chocolate spread which is cool. You could go for plain toast which is equally commendable and then you could try and make a toasted cheese sandwich and risk screwing up the toaster for good.
The first time I told a friend of mine about this many months ago, I first got a strange look and something like 'Minega, why on earth do you do that?'Then a few seconds later after a bit more thought she said 'Actually, that's a bit clever...'
Stange topic of the week revolved around one question: If you were declared insane and given a padded cell, what colour would you choose? It started off between Rich and I but we couldn't come to any firm conclusions although we agreed that a rainbow kind of pattern would only make matters worse. Quena joins us. What colour then Q?
"Blue" She says instantly. She sounds almost as if she has given this serious thought before.
Then Vid arrives and as soon as he sets down his tray, he gets the same question.
"Well...." He drifts off thinking about it (and it is credit to him that he takes this in his stride and doesn't take off to sit on another table)"I think I'd go for light green"
Great, just what you need when you are declared insane- go to sleep dreaming of avocado.
Then Tommy.B comes strolling in. Colour?
"I think I'd ask for white" He says. He too doesn't bat an eyelid to discover that we are talking about padded cells at dinner.
