Hehe learned habit there with both.  I like the 'fix it and forget it' or
'fast food' sorts of things.  The vast majority of my recipies take about
10-15 mins of my actual time no matter how fancy they may seem.  Some, like
the crockpot may take 24 hours to *cook* but they still take 10-15 mins of my
time to put together.

No actually, that was i think all Michael Loo who used my vertisserie and
made up the pork.  I did put some potatoes in the top crock though with some
onions, and bok choy (I think).

;-)  I aint so fancy.  I even have a recipe out there to fix up a LaChoy can
if tht's what you got handy!

I am the one who posted how to make toast 'fancy'.

      Title: Xxcarol's Simply Toast!
 Categories: Xxcarol, Easy, Snacks
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
      2 sl Bread of choice
           Pat butter
 
  Ok, ingredients Toast and Butter?  Why the heck would xxcarol bother
  to type that? Easy.  Optional additions.
  
  For garlic bread, toast bread, butter, then sprinkle with garlic salt
  or use a garlic spread.  Expand this to something more 'meal-like'
  with either slivers of cheese (white works better but I've used both
  types and all are good).
  
  Brie version:  Toast and then mix butter and brie in a 50/50 mix and
  place on the bread.  Nuke 10 seconds.  If handy, add a green onion
  top layered over it.
  
  Pizza version:  Toast bread.  This time butter optional (I omit it).
  Slice some cheese and cover bread.  Take a squeeze bottle of pizza
  sauce and lightly cover cheese.  Add toppings (all must be precooked
  types or edible raw).  Olives, canned mushrooms, onions, and maybe
  some precooked bacon (baco's!) work well.  Nuke til you see the
  cheese is melting. Normally 45 seconds but if you use lots of
  toppings you may need a little longer.
  
  Grill cheese version:  Toast bread, butter BOTH sides, then place
  cheese in between the 2 slices.  Nuke 30 seconds, flip over, nuke
  another 15 seconds. (This is not as crispy as one from the frying pan
  but it's fast and tasty).
  
  Grilled Tnua Fish:  Toast bread.  Warm tunafish by nuking 45 seconds.
  Omit butter but add mayo to toast.  Pile warmed tuna with a few
  sliced onion bits between toast slices.  Optionally if using premade
  tuna salad, warm that.
