i have depression and adhd so it varies between every food and no food based on the rng going on in the ol' endocrine
Sometimes brain say making gnocchi is no big deal.
Other times, grill cheese too much.
I just remind myself that I once thought it was a good idea to make an entire thanksgiving dinner for 3 people using a college dorm kitchen, and then the idea of frying a cheese sandwich doesn't seem that daunting.
Tip though for grilled cheese is butter the pan not the bread.
Interesting tip...I've never thought of doing it that way but it would eliminate my prime annoyance with the process (cold butter tearing the bread).
Seriously it's the perfect way to do it. You know your pan is hot enough. The butter is nicely browned. I do find a small pan is the right way to keep a good layer but if you have a slightly larger pan using a spatula to keep the butter contained to one space and then put in the grilled cheese while the butter's still a little solid works too. It's probably been more than a decade since I last buttered the bread not the pan and I'm not even 30 it's just the best way.
