That looks tasty! You really can’t go wrong with grilled cheese.
For my Sunday project, here is a random fact about the croque madame, and my own weekend baking project.
The name of your yummy breakfast is from the french verb croquer, or to crunch. It is a good thing the sandwich is french, because croque monsieur and croque madame both sound far more appetizing than mr. and mrs. crunch. Also, in what seems like an unexpected move from the french, among the many variations they have on the sandwich is the croque McDo, which, as you guessed, is the McDonald’s version. Ug.
I was at my grandma’s this weekend, and used the opportunity to bake in a real oven! It was my second attempt at the Arcata Co-op’s Atomic Bran Muffin recipe. Ashley got the recipe for me last Christmas, and the first time I made it, it turned out good, but not exactly like I was expecting. I tried it again, following the recipe to the letter, and again ended up with a really good bran muffin, but not the Atomic bran muffin. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that they have a real baker’s oven? Or, as I suspect, there is some secret ingredient that was left out of my copy of the recipe!
And look! I added a picture to a reply!!!
Also, why is your post marked “sticky”? What does that mean?

And I love your use of the project template! What did you think of it? I hope it was okay to work with! Maybe I can make a version that has 6 squares all lined up so you don’t have that alignment problem with the two images….
