Twenty five odd years of cat ownership, and I've still not figured the little furry verminoids out LOL
They never cease to surprise me.
yup. sometimes Wifey asks me "why?" about what the cat is doing. I can't even figure women out, how am I gonna figure out a cat?

one of my best friends has 3 names all beginning with "M". in high school I nicknamed him "M cubed"
Totally that's what is all about enjoyment and marvel at wonderful mother nature.

you mean like you make toast then eat it with cheese on the side? or do you melt the cheese on the toast, as I do?
when I was a kid, my Mother showed me a cpl quick snacks I could make for myself. 1 was cheese on bread w/ a slice of raw bacon, put it in the broiler until the bacon was cooked & viola! hot snackage!

coal? really? no kidding? that brings back memories of childhood in The Bronx, watching my Grandfather supervise the coal truck & being fascinated by the chute running from the street into our basement. later on, after converting to oil, & after my Grandfather passed, my Grandmother would supervise the "earl-man" making sure she was charged only for what was pumped. but we had large wooden stalls in the basement, I guess they were used for the coal. I only wandered around down there a cpl times, when I was older & just before we moved out of "the city"

Wood and coal topped up in the house. The ash branch I cut up the other day is still rather wet.
Blowing a right old hoolie here.
Spent the rest of the afternoon making a start on that stock car fixture list for my archive. It's past time I compiled one. It'll help me put the jumble of stuff I have into some semblance of chronological order, as well as giving me a far better idea of which programmes to chase when they come up for sale.

No mains gas out here in the boonies, so the heating is solid fuel as I don't have a secure place to put an oil tank*. I burn mainly wood, but will sometimes add some coal if I need a bit of a temperature boost.
* I could have an underground tank like a neighbour does, but they're more hassle than they're worth as the peat-rich soil here is unstable, and he's forever dealing with leaks between the tank and the house.

I believe grilled cheese restaurants are a "thing" in the US from my memories of watching Man vs Food.
Cheese on toast or cheese toasties are one of the world's greatest comfort foods. Cheese, onion and a dab of english mustard is just sublime. So simple and yet so good.

Pan fried cheese toasties are divine. Another strange sounding but absolutely wonderful toastie I had was at Tempest brewery beer festival at Tweedbank several years ago. One of the food vans was offering a “ Macaroni Cheese Toastie “ , and, loving Macaroni Cheese I thought I’d try it. Cooked on a hot plate with the macaroni cheese being constantly spread and turned, really high quality cheese, it was simply outstanding.

I haven't used a toastie machine in years... Besides, they don't work terribly well if your bread is anything else but perfectly square LOL... Either a frying pan for me, or, more usually these days, my George Foreman grilly thing.
The key to simple food is using the best ingredients, because there's nowhere to hide. And good cheese is a food of the Gods.
N.B. good cheese isn't always expensive. I've had some very spendy stuff that was bloody awful, and some affordable stuff that wouldn't be put to shame on a decent cheeseboard.
