At 6:15 Amazon Fresh sent me an email that I was the next stop. 50 minutes later it showed up. They're getting as bad as Access-a-Ride.

I slept very well.

I dreamed.

And I remember at least the last one:  My folks had bought a house in a city.  It was one of those streets with adjoining houses and stoops.  It looked really nice from the outside, and inside was very nice as well.

I explored while they were out of the house and found something rather strange...a hallway that ended with an ornate wall.   It seemed the hall was meant to lead somewhere, but it simply stopped.

I touched some of the relief on the wall...very beautiful.  And one thing I touched made the wall open up.  And behind that wall was the rest of the hallway...and beautifully appointed rooms.  A library, another bedroom, a vast main room and windows and light.  I was stunned.

It was not the first time I had dreamed such a dream.  The house was different, but I have had several dreams in my life where I found "hidden" rooms.

My favorite grilled sandwich is a Reuben.

The best I ever had was the first one I ever had.  It was in a jernt called The Rathskeller in Asheville NC when I was in college.

The sandwich was served with a side of German potato salad (heavenly) and a slice of dill pickle.  I have never had a better German potato salad than that one, which was served warm.  The next best Reuben I had was in a place on 14th Street in Oakland CA.  Cannot recall the name, but it was a "deli" (part of th name, too) and its major function was catering, but it had tables for eat-in guests.  Great sandwiches of all kinds, including pastramis.

I love a hot pastrami.  And hamburgers, of course.

Grilled cheese is my favorite comfort food.  Add some tomato soup and I'm a happy camper.

I agree with DR John G.'s grilled cheeses, except that I don't hate American cheese. But I no longer make a grilled cheese with just that. Too cloying. My grilled cheese ingredients are Swiss, cheddar, and I include one slice of American for its melty factor.

My white bread of choice these days is Pepperidge Farm's "sourdough", which I don't buy for any perceived similarity to real sourdough, but because it's a national brand white bread that stands up nicely to sandwich making of many kinds, including grilling, and has the firm/squish factor I love in a decent white bread.

I love my grilled cheeses with sharp cheddar.  For a nice change, a Jarlsberg fits the bill.

Years ago, Denny's had one called a "Mega Melt" or something like that, that included roast beef and I forget what else, but it was mouth-filling and thoroughly delicious and satisfying.

Agree that a grilled cheese sandwich, the cheese is a star. But overall, I don't believe I've ever met a grilled sandwich I didn't like.

I must try the mayo method next time I make one, which will probably be in the next couple of days because I have the supplies on hand.

Good morning - frantic chores at home this morning in preparation of the chaos that will be tomorrow.  This afternoon, more parent-teacher conferences and tonight another vocal rehearsal for White Christmas - sometimes I miss the time when we stayed home and did nothing!  However, I'm always grateful for the opportunity to do things with people now!
