Boy, was THAT a tasty snack!

[Redstone]

Grilled cheese sandwich: Dill Havarti and Swiss; sliced Italian bread, grilled with olive oil rather than butter; when done, opened and slathered with an authoritative layer of homemade salsa (with the juice drained out), and a spot of mayo and some avocado slices to round it out.

Dang, I'm enjoying having my health improve to the point where I'm actually HUNGRY again, after so long.

1. My dear Redstone!

Wow, sounds amazing!

I'm hoping that the rest of your appetites are also thriving...:evilgrin:

[Redstone]

11. Yes, Mrs R is being suitably pestered every day. And enjoying it.

2. Sounds like a hell of a sammich

Here's one I love:

Sliced avocado
Slices Kraft Cracker Barrel Vermont Cheddar
Sliced red onion
Some chunky bread with whole grain
Mayo
Salt & Pepper

[Redstone]

15. I like. I'll try it, and throw on some alfalfa sprouts as well.

Mrs R makes a samdwich remarkably like yours, and it's really good.

3. That sounds very nice....I always thought avocadoes were bad for you

am I wrong? I heard somewhere that they are loaded with cholesterol

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. My dear TK421...

Avocadoes contain NO cholesterol...

Only animal products contain cholesterol...

Avocadoes do contain fat, but it's a healthy fat...

:hi:

6. I certainly must be mistaken then, Peggy...perhaps I'm thinking of something else?

:shrug: it's been a long day, that very well may be the case...but it sure sounded yummy!

7. Here's some nutritional info on avocadoes

http://www.avocado.org/healthy-living/nutrition

By the way, no plant-based food contains cholesterol, as cholesterol is produced by animals only. However, some plants contain saturated fat (such as coconut oil, for one) which can raise the body's cholesterol levels. Avocados contain monounsaturated fat, similar to olive oil, and basically have no effect on the body's cholesterol levels.

4. Dill Havarti is my favorite grilled cheese choice.

Havarti has such a rich, buttery flavor. Some avocado and perhaps a thin slice of red onion would be a wonderful sandwich.

Lamb shanks here tonight (braised in red wine with plenty of root vegetables)

8. Salsa... that's something I'd never thought of adding to a grilled cheese sandwich.

But now that I'm thinking about it, that sounds damn good.

[Redstone]

12. We've gotten into a habit lately of putting green or red salsa on things you wouldn't think

salsa would go with...I'll give you just one recommendation: Chicken soup (ours is homemade) with a spoon of green (tomatillo-based) salsa and a dollop of sour cream.

Try it!

9. Excellent.

13. So you'll be trying one tomorrow, then? It works with green tomatillo salsa as well.

10. Dill Havarti is great!

I like it with Cracked Black Pepper Triscuits. :9

You may need to post this in the Cooking & Baking Forum. :D

Glad you are eating, and from the sounds of it, eating well!

16. Ah Ho!

Good to hear brother.

19. Oh, my brother, now YOU are going to be confusing me with a name change as well?

You're going to have to keep reminding me...even though we share ancient blood, those four concussions have put holes in my memory that can't be filled.

17. Next time put a slice of prosciutto in the sandwhich, on top of the cheese, and then grill. .

[Redstone]

18. You can bet I'd have done that if I had any. You don't have to tell ME twice to include

some form of ham in anything possible.
