I have a lot of planning to do.

2. we actually have a national day for this?

I'm going to stop by the store on the way home and raise hell after work!

5. Got a School Board meeting to go to after work....

There is a fantastic Greek Mom and Pop shop (like Dairy Queen) on the way that makes a great grilled cheese sandwich (thick layer of melted cheese between two slabs of Texas Toast). They even throw in some pickles between the cheese for me.

It is the only place I stop in to eat when I am on this side of town. They don't serve tomato soup, mores the pity, but they have great Gyros, Sluvokias, Shish Kabobs, etc-right in the middle of a Hispanic area. The owner use to be a firefighter and hires young Hispanics and gives them a good wage so he has a loyal customer base.

They're the best!

4. WINNING

18. Back in the day.....

Grandpa and Grandma got commodity cheese. It tasted great, not like the yellow bricks they give today. We would have grill cheese sandwiches as a snack at night. Sometimes I would put a pickle or tomatoes if they were in season (catsup if they weren't) in the center.

6. I gotta work

Don't even get double time holiday pay. Fuck Legree, Marley & Scrooge. Fuck 'em, I say!

7. I planned ahead and scheduled the day off from being unemployed.

8. I'm celebrating by making a hat!

....but now it's burning my scalp.

9. Oh, dear.

That's how I lost my hair, too.

12. Please give me a recipe for the best Grilled cheese sandwich..Haven't made one in years. Do

you use butter on the outside of each piece of bread, or is there another less fattening version?

[femmocrat]

14. I use three kinds of cheese.

And a nice textured white bread, like Pepperidge Farm (not that cheap squishy kind!).

Yes, I use butter on each piece of bread for the nicest browning. You could use a light margarine spread for less calories, but it won't toast as well as butter.
I cook it on med-low. Have to watch it so it doesn't burn!

bon apetit!

16. Thank You! I will make one tomorrow, and use swiss, gorgonzola and some pepperjack. Just

for good touch, I'll add a few canned jalapeno peppers. yum.

13. We had that for our school lunch today.

It was edible, but not as good as homemade.

[bluedigger]

15. Please tell me you're on the faculty!

[soleiri]

17. I did!

But I didn't know I was at the time.

I have a new obsession, Grilled cheese sandwich on white bread with cheddar cheese and slices of pear inside. For best results, use mayo on outside of bread instead of margarine or butter.
