Love your exaltation on this humble sandwich; I teach writing to ESL students as a volunteer for the Los Angeles Public Library literacy program....and would like to use excerpts from your grilled cheese piece as a writing sample for the students. Is this OK? also the class is by zoom and would love to have you as a guest in the class. It's on Thursdays from 2-350 pm PST....possible? interested? Looking forward to hearing back soon. Thank you.

Great, but what about the mayo vs. butter discourse??
Seriously, thank you for another beautiful essay on food and culture and this moment.
I just tried using mayo instead of margarine for the outside to fry on and ... it’s equally good.
Not many people know this, but mayonnaise is just repurposed low-friction ball bearing grease, which explains its flavor.
Irrespective of the fact I just made that up, it is true in its essence.
Butter or turn off the grill!
dont forget the mayo
Good God is that a beautiful piece of writing! Reading it, I am also pleased and undone at once.
Lovely, lovely.
Every piece you write is really beautiful. And this ode to simple joy comes at a much needed time. Thank you

Every once in a while, it's worth going the extra mile with this. Not fancified--just amplified.

More joy! 🪤
Thank you. This helped.
In the midst of not being able to feel much, this essay broke my heart and I thank you.
Who knew?
A small and beautiful thing, indeed. ❤️
A little too much for a grilled cheese sandwich though I’m glad it brings you such beautiful thoughts.
Ultimate comfort food for when things are Bad.
Perhaps you might contemplate how cheese is made. It comes from an industry where just about all the male calves are slaughtered not long after birth.
another day, perhaps? just not this one...
This is beautiful, thank you
