From time to time I write about good restaurants or special dishes I enjoy when eating out but this evening I must share one of my favorite home cooked meals.
People who know us know that my wonder spouse does a lot of the cooking. There's a reason for that - he's a really good cook.
This evening he prepared his world famous (or at least they should be) toasted cheese sandwiches. I serve as his sous chef, assembling all the ingredients for him.
It's a pleasure to watch him work. First he lightly toasts four slices of oatmeal walnut bread. Then he spreads Dukes mayonnaise on each slice of bread. Meanwhile the electric frying pan is preheating.
On two pieces he piles very thin slices of Cheddar, Swiss, Colby Jack and any other cheese we may have on hand. Then he sprinkles on real bacon bits, and on his sandwich chopped onion. After he puts on the other mayonnaise slathered pieces of bread, he coats the outside of the sandwiches with mayonnaise, pops them into the frying pan and gently fries them, first on one side, then the other, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gently oozing out of sandwiches.
You notice I am not discussing potential weight gain or how many calories each sandwich contains. Great food must not be over-analyzed, simply enjoyed.
