Meal No. 4121: Bacon & Cheese Sandwiches

Dateline: Fri 05 June. It was a terrific three days up in Richmond the first week of June, conducting a Project CRISS training for another fine group of teachers at St. Christopher's School (plus one from Hanover County!). I always feel graciously and warmly welcomed and the group responded so positively to our collaborative endeavor. We wrapped up early enough Friday afternoon that I was able to get home, enjoy time sitting in the shade with the pups nearby, and still get a supper on the table before 6 pm. Simple menus help that, like the ease of throwing a pan of chile-rubbed bacon into the oven and then tackling the rest of the package in a skillet on the cooktop. A slice of sharp cheddar on the bottom half of brioche buns, and a Kraft Single on top, and the double-layers of bacon were almost quite enough.
