Good News
And
Cheese Sandwiches
By Scott Hayes
W
hen I was 9 years old, my mother
opened my eyes to a culinary marvel: the ‘Cheese Toasty’ or, as they
are more well-known by uneducated
sandwich amateurs, the ‘Grilled Cheese’.
While I was, and still am, thankful for her
advice about the proper procedure to creating a
superlative cheese sandwich, I later learned there is
a big difference between the experience of making
sandwiches and the experience of a life in Christ.
Growing Up in the Kitchen
As I grew up around the kitchen, my mom
took the time to show me the finer points of making
those delicious sandwiches, including the best way to
handle the bread, the butter, the fake cheese, the hot
griddle and how to cut the sandwich diagonally into
those cool-looking little triangles. She offered the advice and instruction I needed. Through her repeated
demonstration, time, instruction and my practice, I
learned to make my own sandwiches, by reproducing
her method, just like I was supposed to.
I bought the right bread, buttered it like this,
put the fake cheese there, flipped it like so, cut it like
that and had great sandwich-making success. I still
love those sandwiches and teach my kids the same
technique I learned all those years ago.
