Oh, Jodi Anderson, I don't know you, but I want to. Your comment made me snort.

I use lower heat for a longer time to make the cheese melt and not burn the bread, but a lid sounds faster. Love the rack idea. I hate it when my grilled cheese gets soggy.
Something I like to do that I haven't seen mentioned is to lift the sandwich about 30 seconds before it's ready to come out and sprinkle a thin layer of shredded cheddar into the pan and lay the sandwich back into the cheese. It creates a wonderfully crispy cheese crust on the sandwich.

I almost said the exact same thing as creative license, "Debbie Downer" and all. Cute, but maybe for shoes you don't wear often or make sure to clean the soles before putting them back (and not on a white wall).

I'm sure Gwyneth paid a premium for having them there on time and in a rush.

bepsf, I thought your comments were negative because you assumed the Nashvillians who were flooded were being foolish by living where they did.

Also, many people who thought they had flood insurance have come to find out that it was only if they had a plumbing issue, or if it was for a natural disaster flood, that their policy covered the structure but not the contents. And I could be wrong about them not being able to get flood insurance, but why would they when their area had never flooded in recorded history? Why you are paying for flood insurance on the 15th floor on top of a hill is beyond me.

Another thing, many people that weren't even close to a river were flooded because the rain came down so fast and in huge quantities. My neighbor lost two cars and everything else in their basement garage within half an hour.

@bepsf: This was a once-in-500-years kind of flood, so these people WERE on high ground. Many couldn't even GET flood insurance because they weren't in a flood plain. There was no seeing this one coming.

Man, what a negative person.

Also, I forgot to mention that I think your apartment is spectacular!

Matt, is it a faux pas to ask what price range the rent falls into and what neighborhood you're in? My husband and I are looking to move to Philly next summer and I am trying to get ideas of where we should look for rentals and what price is reasonable for the area/place. If anyone's got some good resources for that, I would love some links!

Funny that my comment about this being expensive furniture that can't get wet was deleted. It still shows up in my list of comments, admins. It's unnecessary censorship, in my opinion.

That's a lot of money for some cardboard that can't get wet or it's ruined.
