Before I got a cortisone shot in my knee, I tried to walk with my FIL's cane (just like the one in the video). I could not. Using a cane is an extreme skill/sport/whatever.

Wow! FB has never officially chastised me. However, a "cowboy" just told me to pull my head out of my....Well never mind, we don't talk/post like that here.

Allie - I believe a better word in this case is "gender".

Deviled eggs. My must have ingredients are sweet pickle relish and Dijon mustard.

This is what the round one, a ToasTite, looks like.

Allie,
Google:
croque monsieur iron
and about 1/3 down are images of the CM irons. I think I see a picture of yours and mine. Mine has long handles and two spaces with seashells. I see the round one, probably same as yours.
They are yummy! :-)
I bought one with the seashell shape. Hubby didn't like it. So, I gave it to Goodwill. The round one was his mom's from the 50s.

Maybe not the best sandwich you ever had, but pretty close, It's an old idea. The Croque Monsieur is a a grilled ham and cheese (sometimes with a tomato slice) assembled in a fold-over "iron" press and cooked over a stove burner. The iron seals the bread on all four edges, sealing the steaming melted cheese and ham inside the bread. The iron often has a seashell design that gets embossed into the both bread slices.
Don't get the electric Croque Monsier iron. Get the "manual" version on eBay or Etsey or Amazon? You can assemble the sandwich any way you want, of course.
Some people butter both sides of the bread, but I use a cooking spray on the iron. Lay a slice of bread on the iron, layer in cheese, ham, tomato, cheese. Then, lay the other slice of bread over the assembly, fold the other side of the iron over the sandwich, while pushing/cramming/stuffing the edge of the bread in. Clip the retainer/lock over the handle. Pop it on the stove burner, let cook for 2-3 minutes until toasted, flip and do the other side. At first you have to check often to be sure it's toasted but not burned.
We have an old one, called a Toast Tite. It is round and seals the bread in a circle. It came to the marriage with hubby. He would slice hot dogs and cheese between the bread. YUMMY!

Wonder how adding some crab meat to the cheese would work?
My favorite watering hole/restaurant just changed their menu and has a grilled crab and cheese sandwich. Thanks for helping me decide what to have next time I go there.

PS There are some negative things relating to gun ownership that have been enacted in many states. I'm tired of the attempts to paint all of those states' citizens with the "broad brush." It reminds me of the bigotry that says all of a group are thugs.

Okay! Has everyone had their California bashing need satisfied? I have.
PS When our dear UB writes that it is not making sense, I'm listening.

We might not be able to get along without avocados but I'm willing to try.
Blasphemy!
Life without avocados is "like a day without sunshine." -
I can't believe that. I have seen the stats about fruits and vegetables and I can believe that. But we also eat meat, seafood, and grains and very little of those come from California.
You might want to check this out before you tell us what CA does not do.

So the Ca. bashing begins, AGAIN.

Let's hope that the Cowboy way wins over rudeness because I'm watching now.

He is fine as far as I know. He is just no longer doing work for SASS.

Welcome Dead Eye Raith!
I'm glad to see that you found us. Would you please, view and post on the following thread? http://www.sassnet.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=259328&hl=
No pressure, it is your choice. I think some people may not be willing to post there until they know more about us. That is okay too.
Sincerely,
