Grilled Cheese Month April is Grilled Cheese Month. That’s right, and this is not some April fools joke either. The American Dairy Association somehow lobbied this month of commemoration into existence.. I guess it was more glamorous than National Lard Month. So, what do we do to celebrate a month of pan-fried, dairy by-products on bread anyway? Do we wear party hats in honor of lactis bacteria the organism that ferments milk into cheese? Do we hang string mozarella streamers? Do we put on blindfolds and play pin the brie on the artery? I cheddar to think of it. When you ponder it though, the grilled cheese sandwich is truly a marvel of simplicity. Scholars trace cheese all the way back to the beginning of mankind thus, the grilled cheese sandwich must have been close behind. It just makes sense. Armed with only bread, cheese and fire, some primeval mom had only 20 minutes to feed her brood before they were off storming the castle .... and the rest is cheestory. If all this talk makes you hungry, you probably have the ingredients within arm’s length to celebrate right now. Just melt down half a block of butter, throw out your cholesterol counter and have a ball, a cheese ball, cause that some gouda eating.. Hope my puns aren’t grating on anyone.
