Since there is nothing much to be said about more photos of the red lantern, I will tell the 5 people who never heard of cheese toast, what it is and why I grew up on it.
Cheese Toast by my mother: White bread was 4 long loafs for $1, in Kentucky, in 1953, my Dad was pastor of a very small Baptist Church, in Dewitt, KY. His pay was 30 per month, but once a month they had a "pounding for the pastor" and each person brought a pound or more of something. The US government gave out long loafs of CHEESE. We always got one per month, and sometimes more.
Recipe. Take out your cookie sheet, line it with slices of white bread until full, slice a slice of the loaf and lay on the bread and bake it in the oven until the edges are Krispy. The bottom will be soft, the top gooey and Krispy..
You can choose any bread, any cheese, slice it, dice it, shred it and place on your fav bread and put in toaster oven. I am impatient with baking so STAND and WATCH it while it is on BROIL.... trust me, IT WILL turn black or even burst into flames OR set off the smoke alarm IF NOT WATCHED......😁😁😁

Grilled cheese was a staple in our house too... and I still love it! For mine, it's put the slices of chosen bread under the grill (is that what you call a broil?) to brown one side, then turn over, spread with the cheese (and slices of tomato if feeling decadent) then back under the burner until all bubbly and starting to crisp at the sides...........mmmmmmm...... it's brekky time here. Now I know what I want! YAM xx
I love you with the mice & dogs. I also make quite a few grilled cheese sandwiches.
Hello,
I used to toast a slice of bread and just put a piece of cheese on it, it was a favorite. I like your lantern and the Christmas image with you and Beau at Home Depot is cute. Happy Saturday, enjoy your day!
Well I've never had this but doesn't sound much different than a grilled cheese sandwich which i love
We used the the bottom part of the oven to melt cheese on bread too! But they added other things to do it. I will add non-dairy cheese to bread and melt that in the air fryer. So simple and good. I love the idea of an entire tray though. Never did an entire tray at once and I'll have to give that a go one day with some tomato soup.
How are you this morning?
I often have cheese on toast - it's quick, easy and delicious.
Thanks for sharing more about the cheese toast. I enjoyed reading your memories of it. Now I need to try it.
Cheese toast is a very favorite here too. We had sourdough bread with sharp cheddar for lunch yesterday
The most soothing meal if Campbell's Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich
Hugs cecilia
I've never had cheese bread before probably because I don't care for American cheese. I do like peanut butter toast! I bet my husband would like cheese toast with tomato soup!
Those were the days! When I was a wee one my Grandpa was a coal miners and you only got paid in script which you had to use at the company store. Big hugs from all of us.
I still have cheese on toast! lol
Just had a "toasted cheese " sandwich yesterday. Dave said I'm so hungry ... what to eat?? The answer made us both happy. Yummm, simple is sometimes the best.
Interesting about your history of your Toast.
Love all the Red !!

I already told you my cheese toast story from our honeymoon. After sharing that with you, I went and made myself some in our toaster oven. It's so good. I know how to do it right now. Like you, I watch it in the toaster oven to make sure it doesn't burn, and that it melts just right without bubbling over and burning on the element in the oven. LOL. Love your red lantern/table and the pictures in Home Depot, etc. You've made me smile today.
My second step-mom was from Kentucky. She would feed us cheese toast now and then. I understand it's a very ancient recipe. It originally came from Europe with our ancestors.
The red lantern and table are very nice. I do like the color red.
Love to you both. ❤️
You know, that bread sounds good to me. Love the red lantern photos too. Hope your weekend is going okay. Sending love and prayers.
What a great idea, that cheese toast! "Pounding the pastor" ... I love it. My mother loved grilled cheese almost as much as I did hamburger. For some reason, I love cheese - only as long as it's cold.
The red rocks!
We have cheese toast often here......
Cheese toast sounds so good. My Sweetie grew up a Southern Baptist pastor's son, they knew what it was like living on the small salary and being thankful for the kitchen garden.
Cheese toast is one of my favorites any time. Simple, fast and delicious! Love it with tomato soup. Love your memories and this pounding for the pastor, what a great idea. Love all the pretty reds in your photos.
