my first stream! grilled cheese & tomato soup

I’ve been wanting to try live streaming some cooking for awhile. When we first looked at the place we moved into this summer, I felt this kitchen layout would make it possible. It took me a few months to get my act together, but here it is… my first live cooking stream.

Grilled cheese and tomato soup… they’re like PB&J, they just kind of go together. I thought this would be a simple enough dish to try out as I see if my hardware setup is going to work out. But to change things up a bit, I thought I would try using a trick I’ve heard about – using mayonnaise on the bread instead of butter. And in my case, it’s some homemade mayo.

Spoiler Alert: It works well, but I think it needs to cook at a slightly lower temp to allow the bread to crisp up better before over browning. I will be trying it again in the near future.

Now, this isn’t live of course, it’s the video on demand (VOD) download from twitch, now living out it’s life on YouTube.

I hope to continue to stream on Sunday’s around 5PM Pacific time, so please… come check me out on twitch.
