Snack or appetizer idea
Do you like burnt cheese? Of course you do—it's delicious. So here's what you do:
Get some shredded parmesan cheese. Not that Kraft™ bullshit, this kind:
Heat up a frying pan to a medium temperature. Sprinkle the cheese evenly in a sort of circular pattern in the middle of the pan.
Wait.
After awhile, the cheese will fuse, and the bottom will brown. With a fork, pry up the cheese circle from one side, rolling as you go. Put it on a plate like this:
Or just eat it right out of the pan. It's that good.
(courtesy of a co-worker who gave me this recipe)
UPDATE: LC, in comments, and my roommate, via e-mail, hated on my cheese-cooking adventure. I sent a picture to the co-worker, and he confirmed that I probably should have cooked it a bit longer before rolling it up.
Pictures of the do-over here and here. Oh, and who's that enjoying the new results? My hateful roommate. (LC is beyond salvation, of course.)

Works even better if you've got a nonstick silicon mat thingy. I think there's a fancy name for it if you do it that way.
Well... It would probably be gross if you did it with a cheese that was not parmigiano -- like say Monterey Jack, I can see that being really disgusting and gooey. But parmigiano would get nice and crispy and yummy. Not gross at all, I think.
It looks like a maggot torn in half. Presentation-wise, gross.*
*Of course this would never inhibit me from consuming it.
Post updated to hate on the haters. sbma44 and TMK know what's what.
Actually now I'm thinking you ought to try it with Monterey Jack, see how it comes out.
I would like to point out that you totally staged that picture of my supposed burnt cheese 'enjoyment' and indeed, there doesn't even seem to be pictoral proof that I actually ate the thing! Ok, ok, I did, but I seem to recall my assesment being somwhere along the lines of "tastes like burnt cheese."
Oh, and I suppose, Beth, for your next blogpost, you'll be on about the moon-landing hoax, right?
