Yesterday I had lunch with Jenny, one of my favorite people on the planet, newest member of the 30-year-old club, and the impetus for my currently being in the frigid (but beautiful) midwest. We went to the Good Day Cafe in Minneapolis, sat at the cute country counter, and it took us all of 15 seconds to order even though neither of us had previously eaten at that establishment. Why? Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup was on special.
I thought only my fellow Herzl Campers could truly appreciate the blissful combination that is grilled cheese + tomato soup - that's what we had for lunch every Friday of every summer at our heaven on Devil's Lake. And even though it was the same every time, we looked forward to it all week long, every week we were at camp, and then continued to dream about it all through the other seasons until summer came around again. But Jenny and I didn't meet until college and she didn't go to summer camp, that I know of - she just knows a good thing when she tastes one. I feel so much more connected to her now that I know she is also in the "I heart grilled cheese + tomato soup" club.
It's one of the best combinations around (right up there with chocolate + peanut butter). Why? Both things are tasty on their own, but together they are so much better.
What's your ultimate favorite food combo?
p.s. I will most definitely be serving mini gc+tom apps at one of my next parties, as pictured above. How cute are those?
really cute! another fun way is to do shots of tomato soup with mini grilled cheese on the rim of the glass like this....http://bit.ly/dLSCr2
ReplyDeleteI served grilled cheese and tomato soup shooters at our wedding! They were a big hit... Also, not to criticize but we did not have grilled cheese on Fridays...that was the DREADED picnic lunch day!! I don't know what day we did have them though so I'm not much help. All I know is that I'm still grossed out by the thought of warm, mayo-y tuna salad in a stryofoam bowl in 90 degree weather. Talk soon!
