at the risk of loosing my man-card...

Cooking is cool man.
I cook/grill/bake all the time....only way to get a decent meal for a decent price these days. That and we never get sick from tainted food.

Talk about man-card loss........How about this one.

One of my family's favorite foo foo meals is Croque Monsieur. Breakfast or Brunch.

Basically it's a ham and cheese sandwich that you dip in french toast batter then fry in butter.
I use good fresh shredded swiss or gruier cheese and black forest ham. Always lightly toast the bread before putting the ham and grated cheese on.

MMMMM.....drench in maple syrup or powdered sugar. I like both.

It's borderline fluffy bunny ****, but It tastes soooo good. I'm a man Dammit. A man that cooks.

That's sound an awful lot like something I know as a "Monte crisco" (Also pronounced Monte cristo) sandwich

Good indeed
