It doesn't work.

One of the go-to dinners in our home is the tuna melt.

See how it just sits on top?

It's so easy and Mikey makes a good tuna and when we make a veggie on the side, it's a nice little dinner.

We were out of the usual shredded cheese we get at Costco and since we have a trip to the warehouse headquarters planned for this weekend I ran into Safeway the other night while on a walk to get some queso. We love smoked gouda and I thought it sounded like a delicious topper to our open-faced sandwiches.

And we found out tonight that gouda does not melt {at least ours didn't}. Nor does it top tuna well.

Live and learn.

And save the gouda for cheese plates.
