[COOKED] We Go Together Soup and Sandwich Plate

Cooked is a recurring column where obnoxious foodies can revel in various kitchen gadgetry porn.

One time, I was getting ready to go out on a Saturday night, and my former roommate and her friend were hanging out on the couch in our apartment.

As we said our goodbyes, she turned to her friend and said, "Hey, if you stay here late enough, you'll get to see Amanda come home shitfaced and try to make a grilled cheese!" 

Ever since I've moved to New York, my drunken ritual has been to stumble home and make a grilled cheese.  Why?  Because it's cheaper and healthier than constantly stopping for pizza or diner food at 2AM.  Sure, cooking on a gas stove while you're drunk isn't the smartest thing you can do, but whatever.  I've gotten pretty good at it, too.

So, this We Go Together Soup and Sandwich Plate from Uncommon Goods ($30) caught my eye because it is a pretty adorable place for me to put my grilled cheese, even though having tomato soup while drunk sounds like a terrible idea.  But who am I kidding?  If I'm being honest, I make the grilled cheese and eat it while standing (swaying?) in my kitchen before I pass out. 

I never said I was classy.
