Things that go together

 Today is National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day and also Drop Everything and Read Day.  Seems like two things that should go really well together.  I actually celebrate Drop Everything and Read every day, every chance I get.  And snacking while I read has always seemed like a really good idea.  However, I haven't always loved grilled cheese, or as we called them where I grew up, toasted cheese sandwiches.  It goes back to elementary school.  We actually had very good school cooks in our little Lutheran school but they took a very Catholic approach to Friday lunches.  That meant that lunch on Fridays was often toasted cheese sandwiches and tomato soup (no meat).  Sadly, tomato soup is the only food I really, really dislike.  Not eating the school soup was not an option so I choked it down, but in my mind tomato soup and toasted cheese sandwiches were linked in my loathing.  When I got married I discovered that my husband loved toasted cheese sandwiches, so, being a loving newly wed, I made them, and discovered that they don't have to be served with tomato soup.  Such a liberating discovery.
