Miso Grilled Cheese

Butter some Dave's Killer bread.
Spread the other side with a fine but even layer of miso.
Top with sharp cheddar.
Add tomatoes, sauteed spinach, a fried egg or caramelized onions, or any combination of those.
Grill as you would a normal grilled cheese.

FUDGE


Chocolate fudge recipe from HERE: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/749684

CHOCOLATE FUDGE
This is a great chocolate fudge recipe. It can be doubled. Make fudge on a non-humid day.
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups granulated sugar
4 oz. unsweetened chopped chocolate
1/2 stick unsalted butter, 4 tablespoons
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 lb. chopped walnuts, optional
1/4 tsp salt
Combine heavy cream, sugar, salt and chopped chocolate in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until sugar dissolves. Wash down sides of pot with a pastry brush to dissolve sugar crystals.
Bring to a boil and cook until mixture reaches soft-ball stage, or 238 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove pan from the heat and stop the cooking by plunging pot in a water bath for 1 minute. Add the butter and vanilla, but do not stir. Allow the fuge to cool. When the thermometer reads 110 degrees, sitr fudge with a wooden spoon until creamy and starting to set up. Add the nuts if you want and mix well.
Spoon into a greased 8 x 8 baking pan. Let cool and then cut into squares.
Yield: 1 lb.
This is nice and creamy due to the addtion of heavy cream and extra butter. Be sure to use unsweetened chocolate (but I have to confess I've used 60%+ bittersweet on occasion with good results.)
