September 8th: BBQ Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

First, some follow up. The carrot pickles were good, but I should have halved them lengthwise. Note for next time. I finally finished the tomato sauce today - I needed to buy basil and blend the whole deal up. But really, it's an easy recipe! And now I have five jars in my freezer--or I would, if I hadn't used up all my jars making pickles.

Last night, after staying up late to post, I set my alarm for 5:30 a.m., but forgot to click the little button over that makes the alarm actually go off. I woke up at 7:51 a.m., 21 minutes after I should have been at work. Oh dear. Must speed things up in the evening ... BUT HOW?

Tonight I taught my last class at the South Orleans GoodLife. Long story, but I gave up my classes for the fall. I'll still be teaching though. Several ladies had words of kindness for me, so I came home in a good mood to the supper Greg had prepared, from September 2010's Today's Parent: BBQ Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. I had intended to make this for lunch on the weekend and hadn't found time, so since we already had the ingredients, I gave Greg the choice of making this or, from the same magazine, Pasta with Fresh Greens. It's just as well he chose the one he did, as I needed all the basil that would have been used in the pasta for my pasta sauce which is now in the freezer. Now, what to do with the spinach and brie I bought for the pasta recipe? Anyway, the sandwich was good. Not outstanding, probably won't bother keeping the recipe, but would have made a good lunch and was certainly an easy supper, which Greg especially appreciates on Wednesdays, as he is running with the Running Room on Wednesdays. He's such a good husband, he even took five pictures of my sandwich for me!
