I do love being home for the holidays. It’s the one time of the year it’s perfectly acceptable to wake up at noon, eat ice cream and pie for breakfast, watch football in your pajamas and spend way too much money (on other people that is. ‘Tis the season for giving, right?). I dove into a delish homecooked meal of ham, mac n’ cheese and green bean casserole when I arrived, then passed out full and happy with the television on. Today, I spent most of the day wrapping presents and helping my mom cook in anticipation for E to come over from his parents’ home near Detroit so he can enjoy Christmas Eve dinner with us. While I waited, I grew hungry.

Nothing is better than mom’s leftover’s, and certainly nothing is better between two pieces of bread than mom’s cooking. I sliced up some of that leftover ham from last night’s dinner, and sliced up hard cheddar cheese on top. I thought I could make this for E to snack on when he got here, before we tucked into our Christmas Eve dinner.

Instead, E called me a half hour after I expected him to leave. “Hey, I’m going to be late. I forgot the presents.”

Oh dear. Oh well. Dinner may be a titch late, but sorry hon, I can’t keep a grilled cheese this good waiting for you. Promise I’ll make you another one when you get here.

Ham and cheese. Well executed, but also hard to screw this one up. (She did a good job!)
