This Aluminum Foil Tip is another one of those quick tips I was surprised I did not know so I share it with the expectation that most of you already know this but it may be new to some of you.
I have a problem in my pantry in that the aluminum foil, wax paper, parchment paper and the like slide out of their boxes and get everything all messed up.
What I learned the other day is that many manufacturers put a cut out at both ends of their wrapping box so that you can press the cut out and a tap sticks out inside the box and keeps the tube of material in place.
Its a modern miracle and works great for me.
I learned while doing this post that my own wife was someone that did not know this tip. She grew up sheltered, but I had no idea how sheltered…. LOL
Anyway, this tip will help keep your foil cut straight and in the box. Which for some reason really bothers me.
I’m not OCD but some things tickle my brain and having a cabinet full full of empty foil boxes next to rolls of foil and parchment paper because they all fell out of the box drives me insane.
This wonderful recipe sets the lie to the idea that you can pick any two cheap, fast, and good. My cheesy bread is fast, good, and cheap.
Making Cheesy Bread is simple:
- Simply take a loaf of bread (I like the dollar loves from the bakery) and score it halfway through in 1/2 inch cross hatching.
- Next pull the cuts apart and fill with cubed cheese. Add Lardon (thickly chopped bacon) to the cheese.
- Lastly I like to lightly spread chopped chives or green onion to the top of my cheesy bread.
- To cook, just throw it in a preheated oven – I use around 425 and bake the bread for 10 minutes or so until the bread lightly toasts and the cheese melts.
Once this comes out of the oven the boy and I tear it apart. The cheese and bacon tastes wonderful and the bread soaks it all in.
As I write this, I want to go make me a dose of this cheesy bread right now.
I used this once in a casting video for a show. It helped get me into consideration, but in the end I lost out. I am not too disappointed because I would have had to quit my job to be on a yearlong show that only lasted 2 months.
