OK OK IM AN IDIOT


please remember to spray the metal bowl you use for a mold with cooking spray.


I used a tiny paring knife, but was not totally able to keep it in tact.

It did work though.

If your sense of humor is anything like mine if you showed up to a party and wore one of these they would give you full access to the keg!

The bread really steals the show here.  I was really happy with the crust and texture of the bread on the grilled cheese.  After the chili was gone we picked apart that boule which had absorbed a lot of the juice from the chili.
