A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

At a breakfast/brunch get together. House had that kitchen island thing. Toaster in the middle. My side of the toast looked a bit under. Say that it needs a bit more. The person across the island looked weird at me, saying that it was ALREADY burnt.
This would have been 2014 at the latest. Still think about it to this day...
That's why you turn the heat off after you flip it. The residual heat will be enough to cook the other side pretty much perfectly.
This is exactly the way because you have already heated the pan past prime grilled cheese point so there is less thermal refractory period to recover from after the first flip. Tip: Med heat is also highly suggested. Can't burn on med/high though depending on how you butter your bread ymmv which brings us to....
Bonus Unsolicited Grilled Cheese Heresy Protip: Salted or unsalted SHORTENING, not butter is the missing link in your grilled cheese crisp game. Butter's or veggie spread's low smoke point is likely contributing factor to burning any side with your too high heat which is why you moved to high heat to begin with because too low and you came out soggy, didn't you?
This works depending on the cook.
If he is a good cook and knows how to work in a kitchen ... he doesn't get distracted and his first thought is on the food, the hot grill and things burning or catching on fire. He'll respond in an hour with a picture of a perfectly cooked sandwich
If he only cooks from time to time and doesn't care that much for cooking ... he is easily distracted and will burn his food with a simple text message. He'll send you an angry text back.
If he never cooks .. he's texting you right back with a meme reaction, 27 instagram posts, 12 tiktoks, 5 youtube shorts, and 10 angry political posts for twitter because you just set him off as he's sitting on the couch doom scrolling while eating a dozen grilled cheese sandwiches he ordered from Doordash
What if he's a cook but he also has unmedicated ADHD
An unmedicated cook? Inconceivable.
They're called "line" cooks for a reason!
It doesn't take an hour to make a grill cheese, or even half a side.
You're right it doesn't ... but if you're a good cook, you spend about half an hour preparing food, about ten / fifteen minutes actually cooking your food, ten minutes to prepare everything else, half an hour or more (depending on your company) eating and entertaining guests ... then another half an hour or more cleaning up and putting things away.
Working in the kitchen is more than just frying, boiling or baking the actual thing you are making ... you spend a lot of time preparing and a whole bunch of time after cleaning up.
Clearly you are not a real cook.
Clearly you don't know how to make a grilled cheese.
Clearly you've never made a gourmet grilled cheese.
This is me whenever I broil something. Oh you started putting away the dishes for 1 minute, enjoy your charcoal.
Ironically, my grilled cheese method is to build the sandwich open-faced, place it under the broiler to melt and brown the cheese, then fold it up and cook both sides in a pan. This allows me to fuck it up three different times instead of just once.
Now, let's move into "Operation Creative Drink Placement."
Impossible. At least my method for a cheese toastie. (brit engl. possibly similar to grilled cheese) Two pieces of bread in a toaster, toast to preference. Build with slices of cheese (cut from a block, not from packets you monsters!) put this ‘toast cheese sandwich’ in a microwave for 15-20s, Again to taste of how melted you want the cheese. Result; the toast is still crisp because it’s not microwaved long enough to soften, the cheese can be melted less than those horrific toaster iron things, it’s less greasy.
microwave for 15-20s
Already drafting the petition to leave the commonwealth.
This is why we stopped being a British colony.
possibly similar to grilled cheese
In the same way microwaved spam is possibly similar to a steak
A grill cheese is cooked on a stove, not a toaster and microwave.
it’s less greasy
This is a deal-breaker. It should be like fried bread, not toast
I least can eat this as often as I want and not expect a heart attack.
Cholesterol is mostly genetic anyway. Got tested for mandatory work health inspection same time as my friend who weighed 40 kilos less at the time. And is at least 2-3 cm taller than me. Healthy eater. One year younger than me.
I don't remember the exact numbers but their "bad" one (I never remember if it's the HDL or the LDL) was a bit over the limit, my entire blood panel was perfect. I'm an overweight slob who eats tons of fatty meats, etc.
If you've already got high cholesterol, you're doomed and probably shouldn't be eating cheese in the first place. If you don't, you might not need to worry about it at all.
