Sad Sandwich

It's sad when you're very hungry - peckish, even - and trying to make yourself some food. And the food is recalcitrant. And it could not possibly be because you, the cook, are impatient or inept or irritable when your blood glucose is low. No way.

My attempt at grilled cheese with tomato slices required the oven fan to be turned on. My bread was greasy and instantly soaked up all the olive oil in the pan, creating a smoking/charred bread problem. My tomato was not ideal, though not detestable. And my cheddar cheese broke down into a greasy, lumpy layer within the bread.

Better to use a more elastic, forgiving cheese in the future. Thinner slices of tomato. And butter or nonstick spray instead of olive oil. Any bread would do, though having it be frozen was probably not helpful.

Ah, well.
