After working many 18 to 20 hour days at the Anchor Angler during the past 20+ years, I developed strange eating habits, often grabbing a quick bite when I have the opportunity. It was during this time that I developed the Quickie Grilled Cheese Sandwich. All you need is two slices of bread and a slice or two of Velveeta cheese. Pop the bread into a toaster, while it is toasting to a golden brown, boil a cup of water in the microwave oven. The timing will almost be the same, remove the water from the microwave oven and pour that into an instant cup of soup. Take the two pieces of toast, between the slices of toast place the cheese, and pop them into the micro wave for one minute or less. By the time the the grilled cheese sandwich is completed and devoured, the cup of soup is ready to eat. Total elapse time is three minutes or less.
Very recently, within the past two weeks, I have developed a new recipe for "Hot Dogs". There is no better way to enjoy a hot dog than over an open fire, however, when you are in a hurry or in the middle of winter and you cannot get a fire started there is great way to enjoy a dog which takes very little time. You do not need to heat it in a pan or water or attempt to roast it in the oven. This method is fast and comes very close to a dog cooked over charcoal or an open fire.
I prefer the Johnsonville Brand of "Beef Brats", the ideal cooking time is one to one and a half minutes. Take the "brat" or "dog" and roll it up in a moistened paper towel. I have found that four to five wraps is almost ideal. You can also wrap two brats by rolling them up on each side of the paper towel. Set the microwave oven for 1.25 minutes and hit "start". By the time that you have your condiments on the bun, although I prefer white bread, the brats are cooked and ready to be relished. They are also very good if you take a can of chili and heat it first, cook your brats in the paper towel, about one minute. Place the brats on a bun, smother with chili topped with grated cheddar cheese and pop back into the microwave oven until the cheese is melted. Total meal time, less than three minutes.
Give me a microwave oven, a loaf of white bread and I will survive!
