I sneaked a bite or a few

Of West’s favorite dish: blendered beef stew

Now he’s found out

And I’m in trouble. No doubt!


Time for this mommy to make a dish

That is sure to taste absolutely delish.

A grilled cheese will calm his fit.

Smash it, load it, and coat it.

 

Smashed, Loaded, and Coated Grilled Cheese

A savory plate of gooey satisfaction

 

Makes 1

 

Ingredients:  

A serving of tomato soup - enough to coat this sucker

1 avocado

(2 if you plan to go the southern route and have already gotten out the tortilla chips to snack as

you cook)

spritz lemon juice - just a few drops

pinch salt

1 Tablespoon butter

(Possibly more if the bread ends up being extra thirsty – you’ll understand later)

2 slices cheese

1 slice of ham

(Ooh, I do like ham.  Get more if you want to snack)

A bag of tortilla chips

(Totally optional, but who am I kidding? I’m going to be snacking.)


Am I forgetting something… I feel like I am…

Oh, yeah!


2 slices of bread

(Duh! That’s the whole point of a grilled cheese SANDWICH.)

 

Directions:

Warm the tomato soup and set to the side.  Make sure you keep it warm, though.  Nothing is sadder to a grilled cheese than cold tomato soup.

Peel the avocado and remove the seed, then smash that little sucker with every bit of pent up anger just needing to be released.  Baby been throwing toots in your face?  Someone at work turning that frown into a scowl?  Get it all out now.  Make sure to grunt and growl as this will ensure a proper smashing.

Add the lemon juice and salt to the avocado and mix. This will keep the nice green color and bring out the avocado's smooth flavor. 

FLAVOR!!! That’s what this is all about.

Add the butter to a pan on the stove set to medium heat.

While it is melting, let’s load this baby up:

Place 1 slice of bread on the table, plate, counter, or wherever you’re doing this.

Lay a slice of cheese on it followed by the slice of ham.

Mmm... that ham tastes so good.

Spread some or all of the smashed avocado over the ham.

For those brilliant snackers, now is the time to take some tortilla chips and plunge them into the rest of the smashed avocado.  Add some extra oomph to it with chopped bits of ham.  Yum yum!

Back to the sandwich!

Now, finish that awesomely awesome stacking job like a pro with that second slice of cheese delicately laid right on top of it all.

Don’t even think of placing that second slice of bread on top just yet. If you want perfectly toasted, crisped in the way that only can be done when fried perfectly in an even layer of butter, this is what you must do:

Once the butter is melted, take that second slice of bread and rub it around the pan to give it a proper coating of butter on one side. Now, you may lay it on the top of the loaded sandwich. Buttered side facing up.

If that bread soaked up all of that tablespoon of butter, add some more to the pan and wait for it to melt.

While we wait, I’m going to snack. Mmm… I do love chips and dip. Honestly, whoever came up with the idea to smash avocado and dip tortilla chips in it needs a major round of applause.  Bravo!

Oh, snap! I hear Agent West waking up. The grilled cheese!

With melted butter sizzling, set that loaded baby right on in the pan. Let it fry to glorious, buttery, browned crispness.

Carefully, carefully flip it over so that the other, pre-buttered slice of bread can brown as well.

Guess what!  It's done!

Set the smashed and loaded grilled cheese on a plate and give it a minute to allow the cheese to continue melting.

If you’ve decided to be bold, daring, and go the diabolically delicious, never-going-back route, take the warmed tomato soup and pour some of it over top of the sandwich. Coat it completely. Allow the creamy, tomato flavor to soak all the way into the bread’s pores.

Don’t worry about getting messy, flavor is what this smashed, loaded, and coated grilled cheese is all about.

Flavor… Mmm…

That does look really good. Do you think he’ll notice if I take a bite?

Diabolical cabbage and beans

 As Logged By: Agent Chase With   The Puppy The Puppy was right, I admit There was no way to go through with it. Getting everyone to eat cabbage and beans Would have been impossible, by all means. However, we’ve devised another plan. In this temporary truce between dog and man. The Puppy has many friends, you see. Who are willing to eat cabbage and beans, whoo wee!     For weeks I have been saving every scrap of Mommy’s famous cabbage and beans dish, keeping none for myself.  (Not that I want any after the last gas catastrophe.) The toy bin is filled to the rim and it’s starting to smell, but the Puppy reassures me that his friends will still dig in. “Oh, Marge, this was a wonderful idea,” one of Mommy’s friends says as she waves her hand around. “A block party for everyone and their dog. How did you think of it?” “It’s the funniest thing. I saw Chase playing with a magazine that happened to have an article about throwing one of these.”

 As Logged By: Agent Rose Please! Don’t mention eating. Not after Agent Chase’s stink infested beating. Cabbage and beans! Were there no other ways? The stink never ended for days and days! My tummy is tumbling and swirling. I fear anything I eat, I’ll end up hurling. But, I do love being a sweetie that’s diabolical. Especially, when I can do something so maniacal!     Agent Chase is going to get a stink bomb in the face! Joining with the Puppy!? Of all the diabolical schemes. She should have known that teaming up with the Puppy would make her diabolical plans explode. “Okay, Rosie. Time for some dinner.” Dinner? No way! My tummy is still too tender for any dinner. “Come on, Sweetie. You need to eat or you’ll get grumpy.” I stare at Daddy with the angriest of angry faces. Grumpy!? Does he have any idea what horrors I’ve been through? Just thinking of it makes my tummy tumble some more. The stink of dog doodie

 As Logged By: Agent West I could have sworn there was more stew With delicious beef that cleared my blues. But when Mommy opened the fridge There was none for me to binge! What about a grilled cheese? Smashed, loaded, and coated to please. Is there any more of that? Or is Mommy sneaking some in her hat?     Oh, the hunger pains. The growling tummy, the rumbling stomach. If I don’t eat soon, the gas will come forth. Not the funny toots in Mommy’s face gas, either. But, painful, stuck in your tummy and refusing to come out or budge gas that can only be cured with chamomile tea. Agent Rose may love it, but I’m a diabolical dude! I want my beef stew! Where is it, Mommy? Don’t make me beg. Don’t make me cry. Don’t make me let out a toot that’ll knock your socks to the moon! “Are you hungry, West?” Mommy coos, completely oblivious to the hungry beast about to be unleashed. “Ah!” I let out as a warning and point to the fridge.
