Grilled Cheese Can Save Your Life

Not really. But comfort food is a wonderful thing and tonight I am pairing my love for grilled cheese with my love for my Boston friends. This month's supper club is "Grilled Cheese"!

A few weeks ago I was doing the low carb thing pretty hardcore. That's stopped until I settle into the new place but during that time I was really craving the crispy, buttery, gooey loveliness that is a grilled cheese, but could not indulge because well, it had bread. So I decided that the theme of this month's supper club would be different grilled cheeses.

The idea is that everyone is bringing different cheeses, "toppings" (like bacon) and breads and we'll have ourselves a very yummy grilled cheese bar. We'll grill them off as we make them and we'll all get whatever we want. The assortment of cheeses and breads being brought are really exciting and I can't wait to eat them.

My contribution was supposed to be squash soup. Every time I've made it, people want to lick the bowl clean, and it would have been a great combination with our dinners but I just can't do that right now. I move in two days and while my kitchen isn't all packed, the important things are. And I have no time. Tues-Thurs I work doubles and when I get home I'm zonked. So instead, I'm bringing a dessert grilled cheese. It includes mascarpone cheese, dulce de leche and cinnamon raisin bread. I might try to get just cinnamon bread from a local bakery today because I loathe raisins, but we'll see.

Although I should be coming right home tonight to pack, I am in great need of hugs from friends and the laughter they fill my soul with. And also, I really love grilled cheese. In fact, it would probably be my last meal if I had to choose...
