Second Annual Grilled Cheese Invitational (and Heather Joy's bday)
Oh...dear. I can safely say that, though everyone knew it was going to be big, no one knew it was going to be HUGE.
Last year it was a great time and though I missed it because I was off worshiping my God, there was much chaos, flame-thrower damage and debate over what exactly constitutes a proper grilled cheese sammich. People got hurt. Therm got another head wound.

So this year they did things a little different. First they changed the date (thank you, Shady) Secondly, there were two categories: MISSIONARY (your standard ingredient) and KAMA SUTRA (anything goes as long as it's 60% cheese) Then this was the year that cheese went hi-tech. K-Rex designed the website where entrants signed up in advance and Ernesto constructed the database so that as the votes came in, they could immediately be tabulated.
I don't know how many people were there. Over 200? Maybe more...

It was also Heather Joy's bday. Last year we were pirates. This year they did things right and proper, drank mimosas and went to Hunnington Gardens for Tea...
which I had to skip.
I had cheese to make...
