I found out yesterday that I can't make grilled cheese. I know, I'm a culinary flop. I pulled out the bread, the cheese, the butter. Put the pan on the stove and set it on medium heat. Covered one slice of bread with butter, slid a slice of Provelone on top of that, stuck it on the pan, put a lid over that, and... promptly forgot about it in a flurry of Etsying (kids, don't do this at home). Well, I hurried out to the kitchen the moment I smelled smoke. But, I wasn't fast enough. I had every smoke detector in the apartment going off (there are three, by the way). The bread was a piece of char with molted orange goo oozing off it. The lid was almost cemented to the pan. Not good, not good. I will be living off of yogurt, cheese and lettuce till Andrew comes home.

oh Jewels! you know, same thing happened to me. until I learned to set up the stove alarm each time I put something on the stove!
gorgeous friday favorites as usual!
have a great weekend, darling!
haha! sounds like you need a care package my dear :)
happy weekend.
Oh, can so relate! Am terrible in the kitchen :)
Have a lovely weekend, Julia!
xo
Love the scarf; I may have to get one of those;)
loving the scarf and bag. even together! you've got great style!
yum, grilled cheese with provolone. i never thought to use that cheese on a grilled cheese sandwich. i always use cheddar. i love provolone, so this is something i'm gonna have to try. hopefully i won't burn mine too—that's something i would do. :)
have a fabulous weekend, julia!
oh dear! chin up, you can make a grilled cheese, other things just got in the way! thinking of you!
do you have a sandwich factory?

no more burned sammiches!
(and the best part? making them with NUTELLA!)
mm.
Good excuse to go out.
Sometime... check out Alchemy, off Atwood and Winnebago. They have a stuffed pesto grilled cheese that Nate has dreams about.
I've found that when cooking stay in the kitchen. Otherwise I totally get sidetracked as well!
Haha, that sucks! I blame Etsying for a lot of my absent-mindedness too.
I completely understand your pain here.. Love those finds though!
That is too funny! I've done something similar a time or two...
That's my biggest issue too... Too much multi-tasking... It can be hazardous. Definitely give the grill cheese making another chance. They are too good to swear off!
Once, I nearly set the kitchen on fire trying to make Ramen noodles...I feel your pain.
I cant make a grilled cheese either, but I do LOVE to eat them!
I love those bird prints!
The men in my family all live off grilled cheese, luckily they are experts on making them too, so I don't have to. Love that yellow bag. Happy weekend!
I laughed when I read this, but seriously Jewels, be careful! You're too good a blogger to lose.
On the other hand, I've destroyed some food myself while messing around on the wonderful world wide web. Time thief, they say...
Have a lovely weekend - love photo no. 1, since I'm in a bit of a flower mood these days.
I love your grilled cheese story! So funny!
happy weekend!
You are too funny! I always burn grilled cheese too! I am not a cook either and I don't know what I would do without Ryan.
BTW: That is the cutest yellow purse ever!
Haha! So funny:) Love that handbag!
oh no! that is kindof scary huh?! glad you are ok! stay away from the grilled stuff sweetie! XO
eeeekk! i can totally relate, i'm horrible in the kitchen too :p
btw, thanks for dropping by my blog. Would you like to trade links? i love yours :)
Oh no! I have done that with a quesadilla! Add PB & J to your list of what you can survive on :)
I love the yellow purse, very cute!
I can't make pancakes, I make the mix just fine but I'm a flop when it comes to flipping them, they get all folded and I flip too early, too late, it's just gross. My husband is the offical pancake chef in our house.
If I had a dollar for every time I've burned a grilled sandwich, I would be a rich woman indeed! i second caroline's suggestion of putting on the timer--when i do that i only burn things about half the time!
b always makes my grilled cheese because that sounds exactly like something i would do!
Beautiful bag!! Love the print and the femininity!
Oh, I dunno Miss Otter...I remember a fantastic cheese and bread meal you made when we were at Tettegouche (with your homemade bread). I have since remade it many many times because I loved it so much. Of course we didn't have internet though and that does make a difference (: If I could do that trip over again, I would. Here's to snowy cabins and the many years ahead to try again.
oh no! just don't eat all of them at the same time...
: )
I'm not the best grilled cheese maker in the world either. I always have the hubs do it. That handbag is too cute!
The color on that scarf is fantastic!
oh dear, maybe you can get meals on wheels ;)?
