Hello My Friends,
No, Amanda, I'll still stick with my original wording. A Toasted Cheese Sandwich is made either in a Toaster Oven or on a Sandwich Grill Press like they used to have at the Snack Bars that were located in many Drugstores like McLarty's in High Point, NC, or at the old Denton Drug down in Denton, NC. I can still remember stopping by Denton Drug back in 1979 and having a Grilled Homemade Egg Salad Sandwich and an fresh made Orange Aide to drink, while I was waiting to pick up my new Mustang over at the old Hill Brother's Ford place that used to be Downtown.
A Grilled Cheese is just like what I make these days on my Electric Skillet and as you say, you butter the outside of the bread and lay the sandwich, butter side down on the skillet to grill it. Whenever you first add the Butter to your Bread and then lay it in down in the melted Crisco in a Cast Iron Fry Pan an fry it on both sides, it adds a whole new definition to how the sandwich tastes and that's why I called them Fried Cheese Sandwiches, 'cause they were fried and not grilled. I try to eat much healthier now and I can't remember the last time I fried a sandwich in Crisco, but they sure were good back then.
Mary Evelyn, I understand exactly what you mean about our Parents not suffering any longer. My Dad's Cancer had invaded just about every organ in his body and was even starting to get into his bones. Mother on the other hand had gone steadily down hill over the years ever since her late 50's when she was diagnosed with Diabetes. She died in 1989 from complications from a Stroke, but right before she went into the Hospital that last time, she had gotten up to taking 14 different pills every day and two shots, or 105 units, of Insulin each and every day.
Every night when I talk to the Lord, I thank Him for taking them Home to be with Him in Glory and for stopping their pain and suffering. I'm also glad that you liked the song my Friend. It's one of my favorites and I was blessed to be able to sing it at the Funeral of my wonderful Cousin, after she died last year from Cancer. It always reminds me that of all my Loved Ones who are walking the Golden Streets of Heaven right now, free from pain, and with smiles on their faces, ready to greet me one of these days when He decides to take me Home as well. Thank You Jesus.
Have A Blessed Weekend My Friends,
Phil
P.S. Speaking of Blessings, here's an Irish Blessing for you both.
