sweet grilled cheesus

Today is National Grilled Cheese Day.

Here is a little background on this delicious, delicious sandwich....

"The Ancient Romans were the first civilization to make a cooked bread and cheese sandwich, but many cultures have invented their own take on this ancient dish.  In France, people enjoy Croque Monsieur (a grilled ham and cheese sandwich) while in Switzerland it is customary to melt the cheese and toast the bread separately before combining them.  The classic American grilled cheese sandwich emerged in the 1920s when inexpensive cheese and affordable sliced bread became available.  It is now a staple in cafes, diners, and school cafeterias across the country."  (http://www.punchbowl.com/holidays/national-grilled-cheese-day)

Here is my grilled cheese sandwich....

Of course, you can't have a grilled cheese sandwich without tomato soup!

In my family we put raspberry jam on grilled cheese.  It's SOOOO good!

And, the meal isn't complete without chocolate milk :)

The finished plate!  Yum!!
