Both Chris and i grew up with completely different food than what was the norm for kids of our era. Chris' family is German and they are German bread and traditional German food (ie: lots of meat and overcooked veggies). I grew up with all organic and health food. Yellow cheese was unheard of, most of our veggies came out of the garden and I only ate whole wheat bread and "natural" peanut butter. I was at Brite Spot with a few Lotters the other night and eating a grilled cheese sandwich. It seems to be what I usually order when I'm at a diner. Grilled Cheese is somewhat exotic and unusual food for me. The closest I ever came to Grilled Cheese growing up with wheat bread, slathered with whole grain mustard and white cheddar, stuck in the broiler for a bit then add avocado, tomato and sprouts. Mac and Cheese is another oddity for me. I don't think i EVER had it growing up.
