Lanterns on table, AGAIN

 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......๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

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
