How To Bake
This the flavor of my youth. After the Friday night ball games, we would drive up and down the boulevard in Stevie's Ford, spotting all the pretty girls. If we knew them and were brave enough, we would honk or wave. After the requisite number of trips up and down the boulevard, we would pull into the drive-in where another pretty girl would take our order.
I was shy. I never got a date doing that but I had lots of root beer floats. And it was a fun time with our buddies.
This is a fun flavor. Use your imagination and you'll have a lot of fun with it. These ideas will get you started.
When I was younger, my dad would pack jam and cheese sandwiches for camping and fishing trips. They might not have been the most pristine sandwiches, but they kept well. Later in life, I was introduced to the Monte Cristo sandwich–still the same jam and cheese, but these had ham and mustard added in and were either grilled or fried. It was an upgrade to the classic grilled cheese sandwich I never knew I needed.
These are the best PB&J's on the planet!
Let me explain why these grilled PB&J's are such a big deal.
First, they're grilled. See it's all gooey and melty. It's warm. See the melted peanut butter working down the side. Like a grilled, melty cheese sandwich is better, so is a grilled PB&J.

Cy always has fresh bread at home. He makes it almost every week. It’s just he and his wife at home. They eat a little and the rest goes in the freezer. He slices it, slips wax paper squares between the slices, tags it so that he knows what he’s got, and then freezes it. If he wants sunflower bread for breakfast, he digs a slice out of the freezer and toasts it. The toaster freshens it.
The ability to tell when products are baked seems to cause more consternation than almost any other phase of baking. And of course, it is important. Over baked cookies are dry and hard; under baked bread is soggy. But you can get it right.
