  - there is no cow. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 19, 06:52

  - I'm fairly certain my PC won't handle the game well (9 years old). I'm planning an upgrade for my birthday in September for Starfield - oblique 🌈 Jun 19, 06:46 3
    - My PC isn't that old, maybe a year or two, but without a graphics card I feel that playing high end games like that would not work. - sycor Jun 19, 06:52 2
      - You might be surprised. The base intel graphics have gotten fairly good in recent years. We can do basic CAD work with them now without much trouble -- nm - oblique 🌈 Jun 19, 06:55 1
        
        Still no good for anything that needs a good frame rate tho. My life is rendering 3D. -- nm - mafic Jun 19, 07:02

- I had one yesterday for lunch -- nm - Fuzzy Jun 19, 06:52 1
  - Yeah, mine was lunch Friday. -- nm - Spawn Jun 19, 07:22
- I had one today that was both homemade bread and half homemade cheese. It was good. -- nm - mafic Jun 19, 06:51 1
  - That sounds like a great reward for the hard work of making the stuff yourself. -- nm - sycor Jun 19, 06:53
- Last one, I went to a sitdown restaurant and they were having "Grilled Cheese Night". So reg menu was not available. Just the GC -- nm - budice Jun 19, 06:40
- I had one for dinner last night. Marble cheddar on dark rye. (too tired to cook anything else.) -- nm* - Andie Jun 19, 06:37
- We did grilled cheese for a gathering at our house a few months ago. Had all the cheeses :) -- nm - oblique 🌈 Jun 19, 06:32 8
  - I usually just go with some plain old american cheese. But I do have some swiss and cheddar I can use. -- nm - sycor Jun 19, 06:36 7
    - Pepper jack was surprisingly popular -- nm - oblique 🌈 Jun 19, 06:37 6
      - I might have some of that too. Or it might be cheddar jack. I don't remember. I could just add all 3 and see how that turns out! - sycor Jun 19, 06:39 5
        
        Don't forget ham! -- nm - oblique 🌈 Jun 19, 06:49 4
        
        Such a dude thing. SM won't even consider a grilled cheese without meat. If meat, then its just a warmed up sandwich. - Pippy Quintas Jun 19, 07:35 2
        
        I mean, you are not wrong, but come on... bacon. Bacon on a grilled cheese.... mmmmmmm..... -- nm - sycor Jun 19, 07:38 1
        
        I hear ya -- nm - Pippy Quintas Jun 19, 07:57
        
        I prefer bacon on my grilled cheese when I want to add something. -- nm - sycor Jun 19, 06:53
- are you a mayo or butter as the outside crisper? -- nm - Pippy Quintas Jun 19, 06:21 9
  - neither, just bread & cheese -- nm - mud Jun 19, 07:26
  - my family was a mayo family. alas, its been decades since I had a real grilled cheese. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 19, 06:48
  - do you butter the bread, or, melt butter in the pan? We do butter in the pan now (and sometimes add garlic powder). It coats the bread more evenly. -- (edited) - Andie Jun 19, 06:43 1
    - I've always buttered the bread, but buttering the pan would be easier. I'll give that a shot. -- nm - sycor Jun 19, 06:50
  - Butter. I've tried mayo but it didn't really add anything. It didn't make it worse but I just prefer butter because it's what I'm used to. -- nm - sycor Jun 19, 06:33
  - Mayo, eek -- nm - budice Jun 19, 06:31
  - Mayo? On a grilled cheese? That's a thing? - Krusty Jun 19, 06:30 2
    - it alleges make it crisper if you use it on the outside instead of butter. *shrug* - Pippy Quintas Jun 19, 06:35
    - A lot of people swear by mayo, since it's mostly just fat anyway, the results are pretty similar to butter. -- nm - sycor Jun 19, 06:34
