Stick Men & Cheese on Toast
And what have stick men and cheese on toast got to do with each other? Nothing! I just love art and food and wanted to talk about them both on the same post.
Okay so there is a woman in the bunch, so technically speaking it isn't stick men,but stick persons, people :) These are the sticks that will be going into the "ugly pretty things" exhibit at the Emporium in Yellow Springs in November.
I love cheese on toast and one of the first things I wanted when I went home to England is my mum's cheese on toast, which is the best. Yes, it is pretty basic, but there is an art to making it special, as you will find out here.
And just to keep the subject of cheese relevant to an art blog check out this cheesy art list.ships made of cheese cheesy boots house of cheese
oh, PS. I have to tell you I am really chuffed because I got a gold star rating on bloghop. thanks bloghop :)

Cheese toast? Now that's something I've never tried. It's not like grilled cheese is it? Cheese is one of my favorite food groups...I might have to try it.
Speaking of comfort foods, I run with an English woman, now married to an American, on Saturday mornings and we got into a huge discussion about food the other morning. Her mother used to serve her bread (not toasted) with butter and colored sugar on top. I had never heard of that one either...but then again, I like to dip potato chips in vanilla ice cream.
cynthia, yes open face grilled cheese. You toast the bread first, then put a little dijon mustard on it, then put the cheese on, sprinkle on a little wooster sauce and then broil. I have heard of people having sugar sprinkled on their bread and butter. I preferred marmite but hum! potato chips in vanilla ice cream, that is just plain wierd LOL!
check out the recipes on the British Cheese Board.http://www.cheeseboard.co.uk/
ps there is a national cheese on toast day (april 27th I believe) LOL! "Cracking cheese, Gromit!"
I would like to know the name of his business manager. I certainly couldnt be as hard a sell as a cheese house must have been. I'd be a piece of cake. Cake? Hmmmmm. :-)
i'm happy you had such good yummies to eat in your trip.i know what that is like, when i went back to Miami i had such a happy tummy.
nice stick people.
I'm with Jan though, how on earth did they keep the insects and varmits out of the cheese house?
