Today I am thankful for the simple joys of the comfort foods of youth. Depicted, a grilled cheese sandwich, but there are many, many foods that fit this category. Grilled cheese was something mom used to make, and pair with tomato soup. Warm and filling for a kiddo's chilly weather hunger.
I know I already put out a gratitude post about full bellies and clean water and about my upbringing... this one is sort of a specific of the full bellies one, combined with memories of my mom serving it up at lunchtime. If you can believe it, when I was in grade school, we lived close enough to come home for lunch, and we did, thus getting a hot meal.
Nowadays, when the weather starts to turn, I start to make this for myself.
You know, my mom did make grilled cheese but never paired tomato soup with it. I hadn't heard of that until I started reading others blogs. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's a regional thing? Ever pair chili soup with a Cinnamon roll? That's a big thing around here, but seems strange to most people.
