Soaking, Grilled awesome

Yesterday was a very wet one around here with an all day rain event that soaked our area. It was needed as the rainy season in SW Florida was significantly drier than normal. Unfortunately for Elsa that meant a day of hiding under my workbench. Her lifelong fear of rain has not dissipated over time.

When weather is wet, dark and cool grilled cheese and tomato soup has always been a favorite go to meal for whatever reason. There is one catch, I always had someone else making the grilled cheese. Last night I decided I was going to make my own.

From watching others I picked up the general gist. I made sure the pan I was using was already warm. I then buttered both slices of bread generously before I put the sandwich in the pan that also had additional butter melted in it. I then slapped the cheese in the middle and crossed my fingers.

The end result was actually really, really good. I had no tomato soup to dunk the sandwich in but I substituted a blob of ketchup which was fine. To up my calorie intake I also nuked some keto lasagna and finished off with ice cream. It was the best meal I have prepared for myself in quite a long time.

Today would have been my mom’s 76th birthday…..
