I was sent to South Africa by Uncle Sam (slang for the US Government, for those who aren't familiar) for some medical work. I bought some snacks at a Checkers here in Brooklyn (bread, butter, gouda cheese) in order to make a grilled cheese sandwich, but forgot that my hotel room does not have a stove. In a last-ditch effort to get myself a delicious grilled cheese, I resigned myself to asking the hotel staff if they'd be willing to use their kitchen to make a grilled cheese for me with the ingredients I had purchased - and, to my relief, they kindly agreed! Of course, I gave them a tip for their kind gesture, and now before me sits a plate of grilled cheese waiting to be devoured. And, because I'm in South Africa, I figured I'd purchase some chutney into which I shall dip my sandwich, because why not? I'll try it and see how it tastes!
American, size 13 US, 46 EU, and size 12 here in South Africa. I constantly find myself looking the wrong way before crossing the street around these parts.
Important edit: my room does not have a clothes iron. The purple thing is a kettle. Also, I purchased the chutney a while ago, which is why so much of it is gone, but only just alongside this post ate it with a grilled cheese/toasted cheese sandwich.
