I made a grilled cheese sandwich for the first time. 21 years old, senior in college. I can cook but I've never gotten around to it. I think it turned out well but I need to practice more, I slightly overcooked it.
Oooh yeah, grilled cheese sambo's for the win! Did you put anything inside it (other than cheese)?
One of my fave combos is 2 slices of Swiss cheese, one side of bread covered with wholegrain mustard, the other with French; cracked pepper in the middle of the cheese slices, with a squirt of smokey BBQ or Chipotle Tabasco sauce.
Nope, just bread and cheese. That sounds delicious though, I will have to do some experimenting (and shopping)!
I don't think I could recall my first ever grilled cheese if I tried. It's cool that you know it's your first. Hard to believe you waited 21 years to make that for yourself. Such a nice, and pretty easy, treat to make for ones self.
Well I've been pampered by my mother's excellent cooking for the first 18 years of my life, and I managed to survive dining hall food for the last couple. I'm much more satisfied making my own food, I can tell you that for certain (at least over dining hall food, Mom's cooking will always win in my book!).
My mom didn't cook much. We literally had to fend for ourselves often. This meant learning how to make grilled cheese etc at a young age. It also meant that we had pizza at least once a week and other various forms of fast-food etc. When I think back on this stuff it pisses me off, especially now that I have my own kid. I would never feed her the garbage I was fed. But then, my folks didn't really know any better. You are lucky that you had a mom that cooked for you. Now that you've knocked out grilled-cheese, move on to the next cooking project. It really is fun. One of my favorite tags on hubski is #recipes .
Interesting tag. There doesn't seem to be much there, but the recipe for banana bread you posted a long time ago is intriguing, banana bread has always been one of my favorites. That may be my next project.
