Yeah, but can your George Foreman grill make a miracle? See the following link if you're wondering ;-)

My family lived in Cairo, Egypt when I was 10. Every Saturday, we went to the Khan el Khalili, went shopping, and then came home. I'd ritualistically set out the butter (so it'd be soft) prior to heading to the Khan. Then, upon our return, I'd slather on the softened butter and make a grilled cheese. After the sandwich, I'd eat 2 -- no more, because I had only one, 3-pound bag to last an entire year! -- for dessert. Saturdays were special days for me, as you can see. And grilled cheese sandwiches, consequently, will always hold a special place in my heart.
However, some might consider me to be a bit, um, weird.
Anyway, I think you should do an ice cream sundae theme day, next week. And the following week? Chocolate chip cookies. See you then!
9While grilled cheese is fun, I still have fond memories of PB & *, where * could be anything from jelly, to honey, to some other stuff that seems kind of wierd now. That might fit in with a back to school theme as well.
Other ideas for future Mondays: eggs, burgers (and not just beef), fish, chocolate, ... The ideas are endless, now I have to think about lunch.

My secret to making a grilled cheese is putting butter on both sides and then sprinkleing each side with a little sugar. So it kinda carmelizes when you cook it! Yum yum in my tum tum.

Excellent. I love me a good grilled cheese, and Slashfood has come to the rescue with a day full of this wonderful, easy-to-make food that helped me through my college years (ramen noodles just didn't do it for me).
As for ideas on future themed days, how about a "On a Stick" day. Food, on a stick. That's what I'm talking about. Kabobs, corndogs, you name it. As long as it comes on a stick, because we all know that food tastes better when it comes attached to a piece of wood.
18Okay, I made a yummy grilled cheese sandwich that I'm pretty sure no one else in the world made. I put the post on my blog just now: glutenfreegirl.blogspot.com
(I've also tagged the photo on Flickr, but I don't really know how to use tags, so I might have done it wrong. If anyone wants to see the photos, go to: flickr.com/photos/shaunaforce/
Thanks for doing this--I'm never going to forget that sandwich!
20Excellent idea! Actually reminded me about Toastabags (a teflon bag which you stick in the toaster) (http://www.firebox.com/index.html?dir=firebox&action=product&pid=28) and the greatest of all cheese toppings: Henderson Relish (http://www.hendersonsrelish.com/content/relish.htm).
