How I Celebrated

Grilled cheese are one of my staple meals I probably eat like at least once every month or two. Easy and tasty and I love to pair it with soup, especially tomato soup (thanks school lunch for getting me hooked on that sodium fest). Couldn't find real licorice though (Nate says that only black licorice is real licorice) and we didn't make it back to the store to get the licorice I like (strawberry twizzlers 100). Ah well.

History

 Punchbowl
I ate more microwaved quesadillas growing up than grilled cheeses, but now I love using my griddle. Buttery, bread and cheesy goodness. I need my vegetables to taste like that. Liquorice is meh. Nate really likes good and plentys, but I will just tolerate a taffy or jellybean if I need that sugar fix.

Merchandise

Licorice smells nice, I think I would rather smell it than eat it.
