People at work are always surprised to find out I can cook
Melting cheese is “cooking,” right?
I don’t know why my coworkers peg me as a culinary ignoramus. Maybe it’s because the only thing anyone at my job ever sees me eat is my lunch, which is usually a half-dozen of those beef sticks from the gas station that come packaged together with a little square-cut beam of cheese, which I wash down with a liter of Coke Zero (I’m watching my figure).
But that’s the workplace me. A guy has to be efficient on the job. I take lunch at my desk, so I can’t really make time or space for a fancy spread.
At home, though, I’ve been getting into the finer things. I dine European style. At least I do now that I heard of Raclette.
OK, I’ll be honest: The Raclette is new for me. I used to pretty much live on baked potatoes or lunchmeat that I melted cheese on in the microwave. Kind of low-class, I know. But it turns out there’s this European dish from Switzerland and France that’s—get this—melted cheese over baked potatoes or lunchmeat. Well, they don’t call it “lunchmeat;” they call it “charcuterie,” but I’m American, so.
Yeah, they sure know how to live over there in Europe. And I should know. Ever since I picked up this Raclette thing, my quality of life has gone way up. Plus it’s easy to use and easy to clean, and sized just right for one or two people. (One if it’s me. Two if it’s a couple skinny Frenchies, I guess.)
Anyway, it’s great! I feel like a hundred times more sophisticated! And there’s no going back for me. I’m a new man. I’m totally going to start putting my Combos and my Jack Links turkey nuggets in little finger bowls and call it tapas.
