National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day – April 12, 2021
nationalday ^

Posted on 04/12/2021 8:00:46 AM PDT by mylife

Crispy bread and melted cheese. How can something that tastes so good be this simple? Welcome to National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day on April 12!

What’s the secret?

We asked Aaron Christenson, the owner of a small Central Oregon restaurant which won a recent readers’ poll in the categories of “Best Kids Menu” and “Best Family Restaurant.”

His response?

“A perfect grilled cheese has to have a super crispy exterior, brushed with garlic oil. Lots of melty cheese in the center. Thick cut, handmade bread is a must!”

And there you have it.

Now get grilling.

I can do without the garlic oil, and thick cut bread is definitely not a must. I can't stand sandwiches that feature more bread than anything else.

Slip some sliced ham into the center of the swiss cheese, with rye bread and mustard on the bread after frying, and you’ve got a nice alternative to the wonderful, simple grilled cheese.

Facts About Bread:

1) More than 98 percent of convicted criminals are bread eaters !

2) Exactly half of all children who grow up in bread - eating households score in the bottom 50% on standardized IQ tests !

3) In the 19th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 55 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, scarlet fever, smallpox and influenza ravaged entire nations !

4) Statistics show that more than 75 % of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread !

5) Bread is made from a substance called “dough.” Researchers have proven that as little as one pound of dough can choke a large animal like a horse. The average person eats more bread than that in one month !

6) Bread is known to be extremely addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water, actually begged for bread after just two days !

7) Bread is a “gateway” food item, which usually leads to such items as butter, jam, peanut butter and even ... bacon !

8) Bread has been proven to kill. Scientists have now uncovered alarming evidence that 100% of the people who eat bread will eventually die !

9) Unattended newborn babies can choke on bread !

10) Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 425 degrees Fahrenheit ! Don’t laugh...that kind of heat can kill a full grown adult in less than five minutes.

11) 96 % of cancer victims eventually admit that they’ve eaten bread !

12) Sadly, 9 out of 10 bread eaters are unable to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical
babbling.

Yum!

I brush mayo on the outside and sprinkle some parm or leftover cheese and press that in before I throw it in the pan.. It makes that toasty, cheesy crust on the outside.

This is one of the best tomato soups I’ve ever made. It’s a labor of love...but worth it. I even substitute the tomatoes with honey roasted carrots and tarragon and ginger in the place of basil. Add a little orange juice reduction. Yum!
