... about the cheese on toast?

I'll in bed. Problem compounded by tiredness and husband having woken me twice last night by loud weird choking coughs, after which I couldn't get back to sleep. (He's not I'll. Not sure what coughing was about.) I was working yesterday and will be working the next five days. He's retired. So because I'm so shattered I retreated to bed this morning and said l didn't feel up to coming down for lunch. When he offered to bring me something, I asked for a toasted cheese sandwich. ( We have a machine for doing toasties.) After ten minutes he game back with a plate that had two very greasy slices of cheese on toast on it. No knife and fork or paper napkin, so not really possible to eat in bed. So do I leave the bastard?

Marmite or a sprinkling of black pepper is my go to. However I have recently been introduced to cheese on toast topped off with super noodles. TaÄ·es it to a whole new level. Still didn't use a knife and fork though. And napkins?? Who even buys napkins. A bit of kitchen roll is sufficient.

O lap tray? (Faints clutching pearls)

Don’t you have a box of tissues in your bedroom? That’ll do the trick.

Thank you for deciding what I am going to eat today!

YABU. As you are in bed you have the worlds biggest napkin at your disposal!

After you have wiped your mouth on the sheets life your arse and sweep the crumbs to his side.

That’ll teach him to make crap sandwiches.

DuchessOfBeddington · 16/02/2020 16:22

lift your arse

He was being out of order for not putting tomato sauce on it

Heretic!!!

Gingaaarghpussy · 16/02/2020 16:24

I had cheese on toast with tomato sauce for my lunch.

I have a toastie maker too, it's too much faff and not enough cheese.

A solution could have been, folding toast in half = sandwich. Sorted!

Tomato sauce?? On cheese on toast? Now I’ve heard everything!

Cheeserton · 16/02/2020 16:27

You're very ungrateful. Make your own next time.

sweeneytoddsrazor · 16/02/2020 16:28

Tomato sauce is the work of the devil vile stuff.

PragmaticWench · 16/02/2020 16:31

It does sound as though your DH may have sleep apnoea.

puds11 · 16/02/2020 16:36

@PragmaticWench true to your name Grin

Tomato sauce on cheese on toast?

Philistine!

Hahaha88 · 16/02/2020 16:48

Now I really want cheese on toast, done the correct way which is the butter the toast before adding the cheese and grilling, served with ketchup

SnickettyLemon · 16/02/2020 16:54

A cheese toastie , made in a sandwich toaster may be eaten with the hands. Cheese on toast made under the grill requires cutlery. Napkins are acceptable for a cheese toastie. I think we may be back to the discussion of whether or not cutlery is required for a fish and chip supper.....it definitely is unless eaten at the beach. I went to a work's do at an Italian restaurant just before Christmas. 5 of us chose a pizza meal, I was the only one using cutlery! I love cheese on toast, but if I asked for a cheese toastie that is what I would expect, however I feel you may be married to my own DH.

Onescaredmuma · 16/02/2020 16:56

Grin OP you've made me smile after 6 days of cleaning up 6 peoples sick and 2 year old ending up hospitalised and on IV. I really needed that. Eat the cheese on toast in bed (you lucky lady DH would never do me cheese on toast) wipe your hands on the bed (preferably on DHs side mwah hahaha ha) and jobs a good en!

Gingaaarghpussy · 16/02/2020 17:04

It's because I cant be arsed to buy tomatoes. Grin

I have also been known to dunk pizza in tomato sauce or salad cream.

GroggyLegs · 16/02/2020 17:07

Surely everyone puts tomato sauce on the toast before melting the grated cheese on top?

It's like a pizza/cheese on toast hybrid.

GreenTulips · 16/02/2020 17:09

Nope - tomato sauce on top spread thinly with a knife.

SpeedofaSloth · 16/02/2020 17:11

YABU. Cheese on toast is much better than a cheese toasties IMHO.

SallyWD · 16/02/2020 17:13

You stay in bed until lunchtime, angry with your poor husband because he happened to cough in the night. He makes you lunch and brings it up and all you can do is complain? Poor man!

Alsohuman · 16/02/2020 17:14

Tomato sauce? Just no. Grated cheese? You can’t get nearly enough cheese on there if you grate it, it has to be thickly sliced.

marcopront · 16/02/2020 17:20

Slightly off thread topic but the boss eating a doughnut with a knife and fork reminded me of the time I went out for breakfast with a ONS and he ate a croissant with a knife and fork. It was an that moment that I knew one night was all it would ever be.

I went to a taco restaurant in Mexico with my boss, his wife and some new colleagues. The boss's wife wanted to know why there was no cutlery to eat the tacos with.

MummySharn · 16/02/2020 17:22

Now you’ve made me want cheese on toast

Happygirl79 · 16/02/2020 17:24

Is this a joke?
