I have to applaud _most_ of the literary choices. Somehow the
juxtaposition of Dr. Seuss and Doc Smith seems so _right_. And I
really have to get past my dislike of Pooh. Milne may have been a
rotter, but that doesn't mean he wasn't creative.

The cheese toast you describe is a pretty standard modernized version
of toasted cheese, which, in England and Wales, at least (I don't
know about Switzerland ;-)  ) used often to be roasted on a board in
front of the fire, then slid onto buttered toast.
