The Honey Pot: make it for dessert tonight!
Many of you have asked how one might make a honey pot sandwich (that is, a grilled cheese sandwich to be served for dessert). I found this recipe... no guarantees that it's good (though it looks promising). Give it a shot and see what you think!
2 slices wheat bread
1 slice Monterey Jack cheese
1 slice American cheese
1 tbsp. honey
Butter
Build sandwich; pour honey between slices of cheese. Spread butter on outside of bread slices. Grill until golden brown and cheese is melted.

Good Morning to Grilled Queso Mexicano!
Wondering what to have for breakfast? How about a nice breakfast Grilled Cheese Sammich?
12 slices Jack cheese
4 large eggs, beaten
2 green onions, thinly sliced
4 Jalapeño peppers (if you're feeling saucy, try habenero!)
8 slices whole wheat bread
Butter, softened
Chop 4 cheese slices; combine with eggs and set aside.
Toss peppers and green onions in butter until onions are translucent. Add egg and cheese stuff; cook, stirring over medium heat until eggs are set. Remove and keep warm.
Butter all slices of bread on one side. Place 4 slices of bread, buttered side down, in clean skillet. Top each with one slice of cheese and an equal amount of scrambled eggs. Place one slice cheese over eggs on each sandwich; top with remaining bread, buttered side up. Cook over medium-low heat, turning once carefully, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.

The Official Missive from Cap'n Shady
The Grilled Cheese Invitational is merely days away, are you prepared?
Have you started a fierce regimen of calisthenics and weight lifting?
Have you named your Sammich for easy identification during competition?
Have you prayed to the appropriate deity?
Have you visualized the trophy you will win for the perfect sammich?
Have you completed your reconnaissance to make sure that you will wipe away the competition?
Have you become intimate with the Grill and the Cheese in ways only the Bay Area would allow?
Have you selected the appropriate Grilling Outfit?
These are all questions you will need to answer if you plan on taking the prize. This is a serious competition and only the strong will achieve victory in The Grilled Cheese Invitational, with all the associated bragging rights available therein.
It's time to stop messing around and get to work! You know you have it in you. Search your feelings, you know it be true.
Grill that cheese!
+=Information about the event=+
The "Grilled Cheese Invitational" is an official competition with prizes awarded for each category. The competition will start at 8:00pm at Eli's Mile High Club in Oakland.
There will be three main categories of competition, with several prizes handed out for each category. The categories will be:
+=THE MISSIONARY POSITION=+
The Missionary position is the standard grilled cheese we have all come to know and love through these many moons. The ONLY ingredients will be as follows:
1) Bread - Any Variety
2) Butter (or Margarine, or Oil or Mayonnaise or any other grilling liquid)
3) Cheese - Any Variety
+=THE KAMA SUTRA=+
The Kama Sutra is any grilled cheese that contains any other ingredients than the above mentioned. The only additional rules to the Kama Sutra sammich are:
1) The sammich must be grilled.
2) The internal ingredients must be at least 60% cheese.

A desert grilled cheese sammich.
For more rules and regulations please see the website.
The Grilled Cheese Invitational will be providing at least 10 "Olympic-rated" cooking surfaces for the event but participants are required to bring the ingredients for the sammiches they are entering in the competition. Each competitor must be prepared to create 16 samples of sammiches, at least four sammiches cut into quarters, in order to be scored properly for the competition. Obviously, consistency will be a key element to sammich performance.
Judging for the event will be open to anyone who wants to sample grilled cheeses.
All those interested in participating are encouraged to bring guests.
Respectfully Submitted,
Cap'n Shady
Minister of Double Gloucester with Stilton
