Gooey Cheese Sandwich for a Ski Day

Harrison and Carter went skiing this afternoon, and because it was icy, came home really sore. Carter skied into a tree and whacked his shin; Harrison scraped a large patch of chin when he skidded his face across icy surface in a crash. It all looks so romantic when they whisk away on the ski lift! Now that I think of it, they're oddly uncomplaining about these injuries!

At the end of the day, Harrison came flying down the mountain and flopped down on the snow. He stayed there until I made my way over, and smiled up at me...completely oblivious to all the blood on his face! When we got home, they took hot lavender baths and cuddled in my thick terry robes. I thought of comforting kinds of hot sandwiches that would soothe on a day like this.

Thoughts of cheese and fruit came to mind---smoked Gouda and pear---apple and cheddar---brie and cranberry sauce! Any of these grilled on buttered French bread would be delicious! I decided on the gouda and pear, and heated the sandwiches on an electric "Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine!" I didn't have to turn on the stove, dinner was served in under five minutes, and the sandwiches were pretty spectacular! For a perfectly elegant lunch, I'll put these on my next menu, with a latte!
