GRILLED CHEESE DIPPIN ' STRIPS!!!

GRILLED CHEESE DIPPIN’ STRIPS!

For years now, ever since my kids were little, I have given them a list of options on how I would cut their sandwiches. 

SQUARES, TRIANGLES, AND STRIPES

One night at work, when I was spending more time screwing around than actually doing my job (because that way leads to madness), I came up with an idea for a product: GRILLED CHEESE DIPPIN’ STRIPS (trust me, it sounds wa-a-a-a-y cooler when you say it like the “LET’S GET READY TO RUM-M-M-M-M-MBLE!” guy).  I was bouncing around in the kitchen, all excited about my product idea, calling out “GRILLED CHEESE DIPPIN’ STRIPS” and going on and on about how good they would be and that there are people out there who would buy them.

The idea is pretty simple: make a grilled cheese sandwich, cut it into stripes and package each strip individually (like string cheese), box up the sandwiches with some sort of sauce to dip them in and sell them in the refrigerated food section of the supermarket, right between the deli meats and Lunchables™.  The buyer then places the sandwich and/or sauce in the microwave, heats according to the directions and then seats down to enjoy a nice, warm, quick and easy snack.


I have come up with a short list of different types of Grilled Cheese Dippin’ Strips to choose from, along with the associated “sauce”.

The Classic: American Cheese on White Bread, served with Ketchup.
The Deluxe: Cheddar Cheese on Sourdough, served with 4oz. Cup of Tomato Soup
The Southwest: Pepperjack Cheese on Wheat, served with Chipolte Sauce
The 4-Cheese: American, Swiss, Colby Jack and Cheddar Cheeses on Sourdough, served with Ranch
And The Italian: Provolone and Mozzarella Cheeses on Italian Bread, served with Marinara.

The Regular Size box would come with 2 sandwiches and the sauce and the Family Size would have 8 sandwiches.  There could also be a thick-cut version with thicker slices of cheese that could be marketed in the same way as Campbell’s Chucky Soup™.  Our Target Demographic would be Parents with Young Children, College Kids and Bachelors too lazy to cook.

I Brake for Geese

Two Mondays ago, my son started his Driver's Education classes. It's all online with Zoom meetings for 3 hours each day Monday through Friday. The topics covered seem to be fairly standard, what you would expect for classroom activities related to the topic but, apparently, there was a special focus on the "Modern Roundabout". For those of you who may be wondering, A "modern roundabout" is a type of looping junction in which road traffic travels in one direction around a central island and priority is given to the circulating flow. Signs usually direct traffic entering the circle to slow and to give way to traffic already on it. In theory, this type of intersection allows for greater safety than a regular intersection and less traffic back-up than those controlled by stoplights. I am told that the instructor went on and on about this marvel of engineering. And said we have one in town. Let me assure you, we do not. The closest Modern Roundabout is 19 mile

Had an idea awhile back about a burger place with names inspired by the internet.  The Chonky - Foot-long hot dog with ketchup, Mustard, diced onions, and relish, also available with cheese. The Big Chungus - a 1/2 pound cheeseburger with ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion. Comes with choice of Cheddar or Pepperjack cheese. Also available as the Double Chungus. Chips - pretty much original Lay's or a generic equivalent  Grilled Cheese Dippin' Strips

Belle Prairie County Park

My wife is in the National Guard and this weekend was one of those "one weekend per month and two weeks per year" weekends. I never know what to do with myself when she is away. I am proud that she has decided to serve and, from my time in the military, I know all about "needs of the command" and understand that commitment to duty that accompanies the oath of service. Understanding does not make these weekends any easier and I miss her terribly when she is away. Friday morning, I dropped her off at her command and settled in to wait. I needed to find a way to kill some time so I decided to explore the area. Signs indicating the presence of a nearby park drew my attention and after following them, I found myself at Belle Prairie County Park just outside of Little Falls, MN. The road through the park, for the most part is single-lane asphalt and in good repair. There were exceedingly few potholes and almost no debris to impede travel. I followed the loo
