The first time I attempted to make my own grilled cheese was with the help of my neighbor, Matt. We were at his house without any parental supervision & he asked if I wanted a snack. I said sure & followed him to the kitchen.
"So you put some bread in the toaster & make sure it's on low," Matt warned & grabbed a plate. "That's important. You don't want it to cook too long."
I couldn't believe this 8 year-old (I was 9) knew so much about cooking. When it popped up, he unwrapped two slices of American cheese. "Now, you put the cheese in between & pop it in here on high for 30 seconds."
"You microwave it?" I asked.
"Oh yeah!" he said, "Wait til you try it. It's so cheesy...and fast!" When the timer went off, he cut it in half diagonally. "Here, try some."
It smelled great so I took a bite. "Wow, that's good," I said. "I can't believe how crispy it is."
"Yeah, I love 'em," Matt said & motioned to the loaf of white bread. "You wanna try making one?"
My parents gave me a weird look when I made Toasty Cheese at my house a few days later. I admit now that using two appliances to make one simple sandwich is a little unnecessary. That didn't matter to me then, because it was the first hot sandwich that I made on my own.
