I didn’t notice that my husband edited my ingredient list until after the fact. He said I didn’t need to list every little glug of Worcestershire or Tabasco or balsamic. Grrr.

The others probably wouldn't matter, but Worcestershire is a fish-based sauce. Probably not good to leave off one of the Big Nine allergens when you're labeling food for people. 

+1 for me on the dark edges being the best part. In my home all of us (including the sporadically-picky grandkids) fight over those.

That cheese is not burned--it is just right!!!! The dark brown cheese is the best part!

I agree!  It looks deeply browned, not charred, to me (who also likes her toast well browned 🙃)

😜

 

I love crispy edges of browned cheese, but this was a little bitter to me. I ate some of the scraps after cleaning up the first pan. I would not have gone to the trouble of doing it with the second pan if I’d enjoyed any from the first! It wasn’t gooey underneath the dark parts.

Yes, I agree it should be listed!

I was going to say the same thing.  Ronnie and I fight over the dark cheese and he always wins arrrgh.

My husband would wrestle anyone for the "browned bits of cheese."

Dear Shelby, MaryIsobel, and all others who mentioned favoring burnt cheese,

 

Apologies for not boxing up and shipping the big pile of burned cheese scraps for y’all to devour. 🤔

 

Next time, I promise! 😜😆😂

 

 

I’m thinking of pulled ham sandwiches and broccoli salad for next week’s CFM. I know that doesn’t sound very Christmassy, but there may also be some homemade cookies involved. Not sure which day will be food delivery day, but it might be early on Christmas Eve day. Alternatively, the day after Christmas.

 

Is this where I admit I’ve never baked a ham? I saw a vid of someone doing pulled ham for sandwiches, and it looked scrumptious. Shelby’s idea for broccoli salad would go good with this, I think.
