RSSA Gentleman Prepares A Sumptuous Meal
November 25th, 2008
With his financial portfolio in tatters and his once glorious corner office now reduced to a pile of cardboard boxes strewn across his living room floor, the unemployed urban gentleman is relegated to the cabin fever-inducing confines of his abode, where he must resist the city’s veritable cornucopia of delights with monastic restraint. But just because his penny-pinching predicament deems his usual breakfasts at Balthazar, lunches at Le Bernadine, dinners at 21 and midnight snacks at Corner Bistro off limits, does not mean the gluttonous gentleman can’t whip up something equally delicious in his own kitchen when hunger strikes. Like the gifted love child of Wolfgang Puck and Albus Dumbledore, a gentleman combines spices, rare meats and other mind-boggling ingredients to create scrumptious delicacies with almost magical-like ease.
CubeTrembler: how is the unemployed life?
CitiBankBoxPacker: Could be worse. I just made a grilled cheese sandwich with a toaster and a microwave
CubeTrembler: nice!
CitiBankBoxPacker: the MacGyver sandy
CubeTrembler: that’s actually a good idea
CubeTrembler: why dirty a pan?
CitiBankBoxPacker: yeah it was quick and easy…like your mom
CubeTrembler: toast bread, microwave w/ cheese, spray down w/ some spray butter and you’re done
CitiBankBoxPacker: that was the recipe
CubeTrembler: dude i’m trying that
CubeTrembler: that could be fantastic
CitiBankBoxPacker: yeah it is tasty
CubeTrembler: cause i love grilled cheese, but it’s way too much work for something that doesn’t have any meat involved
CubeTrembler: if I’m using a pan, there better be meat
CitiBankBoxPacker: totally agree, this is super clutch
CitiBankBoxPacker: took about 90 seconds
CitiBankBoxPacker: plus good welffare practice
CitiBankBoxPacker: for when i have to sell my stove on craigslist

Try this: 2 slices of white bread, 1 slice of cheese, 1 slice of ham. Put the ham and cheese between the bread and heat in toaster or waffle iron. When ready, spread some butter on both sides et voila: fine french cuisine called a croque monsieur. You can garnish with some ketchup.

A gentleman shouldn’t set up his own “like your mom” joke

Hmmm…I’m sure the Earl of Sandwich has an opinion on this topic.

Yes, you can call it a toasted ham and cheese sandwich. A croque monsieur or translated a ‘Mister Crunchy’ sounds tastier in my honest opinion. It was not the name I wanted to draw attention to, but the fact that one does not need a dreaded pan to prepare it.

K no, I do not understand. Are you implying we should garnish mothers with ketchup? Whipped cream seems more appropriate, especially if they are of the MILF variety. I bid you good day sir.
