Bura sera. 

jots it down*

I think I discovered a viable upgrade for grilled cheese sandwiches. It involves sauteed onion in between two cheese slices in between two bread slices.

Green onions are the best grilled cheese addition imo.  Might have a childhood bias there, since my dad used to add them.

That seems like a fair bit more work for little payoff 

Totally worth it imo. Besides, it'll take even less work the next day or two if you have leftover caramelized onions.

Might try those once I use up my current onion supply.

observation: this guy almost had it made

Just made one with green onion & fried ham, with cheese and fried ham fat flattened into the outer crust.  Definitely one of my better grilled cheese experiences (and I've had thousands, as it has the greatest satisfaction to prep time ratio of any dish out there).

god the days that i used to make tuna melts. i don't even like tuna. but that's another thing usually put some tomato on there too. this is like the bachelor cookbook

Sounds delish. I wonder if pickles on the side would compliment it at all.

A month or so ago I was visiting my mom and she made Big Erics, which were basically sliced of toast with canned tuna mixed with pickle and mayo on top, topped with cheese. Tastes better than it sounds.

We're making spicy tuna melt wraps tonight for dinner - I've never had a tuna melt but this thread had me salivatin' lol.

Yum yum!

Tuna melt with Sriracha and chilis mixed into the tuna/mayo mix is where it's at.  I was never big into them until I started adding the spice.  Now it's another favourite.

I prefer canned salmon, not to sound elitist 

*raises pinky finger*

Oh snap!

I've always wanted to use canned salmon but I can't find a brand that has one that is sans bones, can you recommend one or where you buy it? Cloverleaf or whatever here has bones in it (I just can't get past that even though they're edible there's this disgusting crunch that makes me yekkkkk all over lol). And the boneful stuff is $3.50 a can. =/

Yep. It always has that stuff in it, you have to dissect it.

When I was in Barcelona, the salmon always had bones in it. Muy peligrosa. Apuñaló mi boca.

But I really love that pan seared Ahi tuna with some risotto

A baby that I was on the bus with had a unibrow. Poor kid.

Was it this baby?

the old filter is a concerted effort by the ruling class to crush the growing potential of the area 51 meme in the fear that it will spread class consciousness

Been detailed to a nothing job today that I don't really have the access or training for, no noticeable impact on the working day if I don't do it, and there's no managers in. I'd much rather be doing something 'proper' instead of killing time and wandering about. With the ever present fear of an email from management in the future if a colleague decides to grass me up.

One of my colleagues has lived in the UK for too long. He's Slovak and has been living in the UK for 12 years and in Germany for like 2 years. His German is like a 50/50 mix of German and English (due to the similarity of these two languages) but with a Slavic accent. In his head German and English are basically the same but with a slightly different pronunciation. It's fun to observe him talking to Germans who don't know much English. They usually have no idea what he's talking about but try to act like they understood everything. And his listening comprehension is like zero. So you basically observe two parties not understanding each other but trying to act as if they do, which is hilarious. It's so unproductive it's productive again. That's because everyone feels energized by the amusement this produces when those interactions are heard. And he's happy too, because he feels much more accepted here than in the UK. Maybe that all is because Germans are much more impolite than the British. It's one of those clichés that are true. So there is less acting friendly while being malign and so on, less dissimulation. Everyone here that was 10 by the fall of the Berlin wall is 40 now

I thought I was a semi good-looking guy until I got my new license. What is with the inevitability of the let down of the driver license photo?
