Grilled Cheese And Bacon Sammich
(with comments)
Josh Ozersky writes: Grilled Cheese and Bacon and Me. If you thought making such a sandwich would be a simple matter, think again.
In its platonic form, it is surely the most perfect sandwich ever created. Three separate fats -- margarine, milkfat, and savory bacon lard - conjoin to create a prismatic aurora of pure satisfiability.
Then there is the contrast between the smoky, salty sweetness of the bacon with the muted sharpness of the cheese.
Finally, there is the exquisite opposition between the rugged crunch of bacon, and the viscous oneness of the cheese in which it is suspended - to say nothing of the contrast of both with carefully browned bread.

Not sure what clan or state you're in Chris J., but here in California we don't marry them off when they're only 14.
