near disaster results in greatest grilled cheese ever recorded in history of mankind.

I just made the most impressive grilled ham and cheese sandwhich ever to grace mortal eyes. i think it was perfect. thick slabs of cheddar cheese and three slices of ham melted deliciously between two whole wheat pieces of bread lightly dashed with english butter and fried a to a crisp golden brown on both sides. Disaster was putting the butter in the microwave. i didnt' expect the wrapping would ignite. only my dignity was hurt when my flatmate came into the kitchen just in time to see me frantically blowing on a flaming stick of butter. it must be taken into account that i've spent the past 4 days asleep with a fever, only waking to eat (wonderful greek sandwhiches) and attempts at reading ayer's take on the philosophy of language. Any practical accomplishment, no matter how meager, is a bit like a light at the end of the tunnel. seriously though, this grilled cheese was no wimp. the cheese was melted to perfection, not too gooey, but just enough and warm and crunchy but not stiff and stale like those sad imitations of grilled cheese you would be served in a school cafeteria. oh this was a grilled cheese like no other.
