Grilled Teese!

I’ve been meaning to make this sandwich all month since April is National Grilled Cheese month, which I didn’t know until my sister sent me an article about it a few weeks ago. When I realized that today was the last day of the month, and that there were only a few more hours of good light for a photo, I frantically made this sandwich. Also, I was starving, which added to the frenzy.
I bought some Cheddar Teese from Locali probably over a month ago. I really wanted to try the Mozzarella flavor, but they were sold out, so I thought I’d give the Cheddar a try. Now, I have to say that I was a huge cheddar lover back in the day. I could eat a whole block (or two) of the stuff, mild or sharp. One boiling hot summer in Chicago I think every meal I ate for weeks was just green grapes and sharp cheddar, so I’m probably a bit of a harsh critic for this particular flavor. That being said, I did think it was okay, but definitely not a substitute for real cheddar – at least not for me. It was good in the grilled cheese, though. I probably would only eat it melted in things and not at room temperature. I still want to try the Mozzarella… when is National Pizza month?
gosh, there’s a national month for everything nowadays! i have yet to have a vegan grilled cheese (i never liked it as an omni), maybe this will inspire me!
Teese’s nacho sauce is sooo good! I tried the mozzarella and it was only okay. I’m a big fan of Cheezly. I loved cheese and crackers and salami back in the day. The best substitute: Field Roast sun dried tomato deli slices with shaved Cheezly cheddar and fake bacon. Mmm! Oh, and with Mezzeta’s Italian olive antipasto – it’s got a spciy taste that reminds of the spices they must use to make salami. You can find those olives at World Market and Ralph’s. Yum!
