I am eating delicious wheat crackers.

I'm eating fudge swirl ice cream...

Montmorency cherry pie

twix bar - restart my diet when i feel better.

I just finished a navel orange with the driest peel I've ever run across. Would not peel. I finally had to get a knife and cut the sucker open. The inside was fine -- still nice and juicy.

The dry peel probably has something to do with the fact that I've been storing the oranges in a basket on the breakfast bar.

Peanut butter, honey, and banana sandwich. One of my all-time favorites. It is inspiring me. I can see a banana hamburger in my future. Bacon, banana, bbq: what do you think?

vitamin water zero - lemonade

i love vitamin waters! :):)

A bowl of Heinz Cream of Tomato Soup, with a cheese sandwich I fried in melted butter. (Never done a cheese sandwich that way before.)

Add sweet pickles and you've got one of the comfort-food lunches of my youth.

I've been resisting calling it a "grilled cheese sandwich" because it's very clearly not grilled.

hmm...

This is probably one of those short order cook things, where the flat surface griddle, or in the home kitchen a frying pan, is referred to as "the grill."

I agree with Menolly. The way I've usually seen it done is to butter the bread slices and fry the sandwich in a frying pan or on a griddle. That's not too different from melting the butter in the pan first.

Altho my mom usually just slapped the cheese slices between slices of toast. I've been known to do that, but then I pop it in the microwave to melt the cheese.

More often I'd have a toasted cheese sandwich in a sandwich toaster, or just grilled cheese on toast, under a grill. Like I said, first time I've fried one in a pan.

OK...

So now you're using a different definition of "grill" than I thought you meant. When I think "grill," I think of a bar-be-cue, or a built-in grill on one of those fancy range tops, where meat can be cooked on grates above gas fed or charcoal fed flames. This sounds more like a broiler or salamander?

The rest of what you mention as grilling sounds about right too, but the oven grill's what I was referring to there.

Okay. I think we call that a broiler in the US, Murrin. In a gas stove, the broiler is in a drawer under the main oven.

One can also make a grilled cheese on a contact grill, such as a panini press or a Foreman hinged double-sided grill.

Truth, SD. Although that didn't occur to me.
