CLOTHING IRON GRILLED CHEESE
submitted by Hugh Barnett - class of '01
For my 17th birthday my mom gave me this cloths iron, and for the past two years I've been trying to find a use for it. It has been a: door stop, a bar-bell, a paper weight and once a personal protection device (don't ask). But finally it's found it's true calling…
What you need:

2 pieces of bread

1 slice of processed cheese
(the more orange, the better)

Butter

What you do:

Take the iron and turn it upside down
(bit that gets hot facing up).

Use some books to balance it this way on the floor.

Plug it in.

When the metal bit gets hot, slap a buttered slice of bread on it (butter side down).

Put a slice of cheese on top
and then put another slice of buttered bread
on top (butter side up this time).

After a minute - flip.

One more minute and then enjoy!

(WARNING - FIRE HAZARD: keep your eye
on the iron at all times when turned on and cooking.
I once burned my food by not paying attention.
Could have been worse considering the firetrap
I lived in!)

TOAST TRIFLE
submitted by Virginia Strain - class of '99
A delectable layered dessert made from your very own rez room leftovers
What you need:

Some way of making toast

Various jams

Chocolate spread and/or peanut butter

Fruit, preferably berries, tangerine slices
and bananas

Maple syrup or sweet cheeses
make a nice touch

What you do:

This recipe is all about layering… and toast.
It’s about layers of toast, in fact.

Toast some toast. In fact, toast the whole loaf,
let’s get crazy!

While the toast is toasting, rummage for jams
and fruit and spreads in your cupboards and fridge,
then go through your next door neighbour’s
(I don’t think I need to tell you what a time and money
saver this last step is).

Spread spreads and jams and stuff on toast
slices—both sides. Leave some pieces with just
one side dressed—these will be the tops and bottoms
for your trifle.

While you’re spreading, soak a few slices of toast
in fruit juices (i.e. the stuff left over from that can
of peaches), and in maple syrup if you’ve got it.
These slices will go in the middle of the trifle.

Right, so, after this grueling preparation stack
everything up, mix-n-match, etc.
I think you get the idea.
This is not like your rocket science exam.
Quarter your toast trifles and serve!
