Forgive me for being behind the times (I thought I was hip!) but I never
heard of mustard on a grilled cheese sandwich.

Which planet are you all from?

I was wondering what the common element was here. My mom was from
the mid-west.... I suspect that the idea may have been in a
Gulden's booklet, but my booklets are so disorganized that I can't
check that now--or for a few months. Maybe the next time this
topic comes up.

The person who taught me to make grilled cheese sandwiches was a friend and
she put mayonnaise on the bread, then cheese. I thought that was the proper
way until my daughter in law set me straight. : )

Dijon mustard on grilled Swiss with thin-sliced ham is excellent. I
can't deal with mustard and yellow American cheese.

I make what I call a croque señior, which is basically a quesadilla with
jack cheese and thin-sliced ham. I fry the sandwich in butter. I love
flour tortillas fried in butter. They get so flaky.

I'll never forget my first months in Philadelphia. I was so taken by surprise
with the white American cheese. Kalifornia was always orange. I never knew
otherwise.

For awhile I constantly tripped myself up and asked for white American cheese
on my hoagies. I got the dumbest looks!!!

I think the '70s were good for getting the dye out of cheeses, but I
haven't heard of white American Cheese. Personally, I prefer white
cheese and that's why I usually order provolone or jarlesberg for my
sandwiches.

Again the posts here recently have been timed perfectly to what we've
been planning. Louise wanted quesadillas so she picked up a pound of
Chihuahua yesterday. I've got nice thick tortillas and I'll try your
butter idea. It sounds good. Thanks! I've got a pot of pintos
going. I love pintos with green onion and cheddar. We've also got
co-jack and pepper jack. YUM! Louise will probably either open the
bedroom window or make me sleep in another bed.
