I had grilled cheese last for dinner. I put the butter in the pan instead of on the bread. I'm not sure I like it better than - sycor Jul 21, 06:14 3
- It's the only way I've ever had it or made it. I coat the whole pan in butter, likely using too much but I love it. - Krusty Jul 21, 06:20 2
  - I usually use cold butter but spreadable, from the tub. A stick doesn't spread as well so it wrecks the bread. Adding it to the pan definitely uses - sycor Jul 21, 06:35 1
    - I love how buttery the grilled cheese tastes using the pan method. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 06:40

I love the directness of Australian naming conventions: Melbourne Rectangular Stadium - Reagen Jul 20, 20:14 6
- It's probably so rugby fans don't ask why soccer is being played at the rugby stadium -- nm - Roger More Jul 21, 06:26

- That’s a bad sign for labor right? They were pretty confidant in flipping his seat -- nm - spamlet Jul 20, 20:26 4
  - They'll be happy with the Selby result I'm sure. -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 20:42
  - Apparently it was just barely held and a couple other Tory seats had huge swings against them. -- nm - Tim Jul 20, 20:36 2
    - Sunak’s got another 17 months for it to get worse -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 20, 21:00
