I do not know how to cook — to “Cooking with Julia
Childs” and “Yen Can Cook” addicts, a more irritating
statement has never been made. Humanity as a whole
has held a firm grip on this most basic of human functions
since a caveman prepared the first lizard flambe with a
stick, a gecko and a flint-lighted fire. Now, in these mar
velous days of the information superhighway, fuel-inject
ed engines and Sega Dreamcast, the assertion that one can
not master the task of preparing a
decent-tasting meal is ludicrous.
For those who have dared to utter this blas
phemous fallacy, 1 pose the ultimate
example of cooking ease
grilled cheese sandwich.
Many would say that this
simple dish is the main

paired who are forever
doomed to a life of
microwavable din

at cheap fast-food
restaurants. Nothing
could be further from
the truth.
The grilled cheese sand
wich, in its ultimate simplicity, de
mands all of the essential elements of
cooking: ingenuity, timing and remedial
measurement skills. With these skills, you
can make a souffle blindfolded.

of sandwich-cut cheese in between (the heat from the toasting is usi ., 11 ,

Those with a wonderfully equipped kitchen have no excuse fore Ire in ft
preparing this delicious staple of college life. The bread can be prepar; ditionec
in a toaster oven, toaster, oven, or
even browned in a frying pan.
But for those in residence halls,
even this remedial cooking can
be a challenge.
Normally, the only cooking
device allowed the residence
hall rooms is a microwave, but
these generally succeed
only in making bread
hot and soggy.
To overcome
this problem, >
you can use the
“crisping trays” from
microwavable pizza or
Bagel Bite boxes to heat the
bread without making it soggy.
Just put the sandwich in one
crisping tray and stack another on
top of it. This will not brown the
bread, but the sandwich taste does
not suffer much.

News in Brief
Singer Elton John
sues accountants
LONDON (AP) — Elton John is
taking his top accountants to court to
recoup millions of dollars in touring
costs he claims they mistakenly
charged him.
The 53-year-old singer and pianist
is suing PricewaterhouseCoopers
and Andrew Haydon, former manag
ing director of John Reid Enterprises
(JREL). Both companies looked af
ter his business interests.
Both parties deny wrongdoing.
Court proceedings in the case be
gan Monday. John is expected to be
called as a witness during the trial,
expected to last eight weeks.
John claims both showed negli
gence by allowing JREL to charge
him tour expenses, including book
ing agents, accountants and produc
ers. Under a management agreement,
JREL was responsible for meeting
those costs, the prosecution argued.
Exactly how much money the
rock star claims to have lost has not
been revealed, although British
newspapers reported Tuesday the
amount topped $29 million.
