Tomato Bisque & Grilled Cheese Sandwich

On a hiatus, in Kansas with my mother as she is on the mend from her second full knee replacement. I have actually conjured up a few new things, had some disappointments with some old favorites, and passed on a coveted recipe to my oldest nephew this Thanksgiving. Hopefully, I'll get around to expanding on those, but for now, I dug up my very first food blog post...I dunno why I talk like I have a huge audience, but here ya go people. Both of ya! My ex-neighbor and maternal parent.

Today was a sick day, so rather than just waste it feeling miserable, I decided to create a blog I have intended to write forever and a minute ago. I titled it 'Fear and Loathing in the Kitchen' for a couple reasons--care to guess? Explanations are for another day as I have spent far too long changing the colors, fonts, etc.--so long in fact, I've almost lost the will to peck out these words. The recipe--if you can even call it that, is this:
1 can of tomato soup w/ equal parts milk
1 can of diced tomatoes of your choice. They come in several varieties and I keep enough stocked in the pantry that if the apocalypse comes, you get the idea. *I prefer the garlic, onion, and basil.

1 can of fire roasted tomatoes--diced, of course.

Heat til bubbly & serve with grilled cheeses sandwiches or cheesy bread made from leftover dinner rolls, biscuits, French bread--whatever & a variety of cheeses if ya have them.  My favorite is provolone, parmesan, & cheddar.  Cheesy croissants would be awesome, as would garlic cheddar biscuits.  It's tasty, it's comfort food, it's easy--try it.  If you conjure up something awesome with a different variation, I'd love for you to share.  If you're freaking out because you need some exact measurements for any of the above, you're in the wrong place, we don't do that here!

If you read this in chronological order, you will know that carbs are my favorite enemy, and I stay away from them best I can, usually until the cocaine wears off, but in between then and now, some decadence occurred with pesto spread on ciabatta bread plus eight million different gooey cheeses melted in between on a few occasions. Super easy for a huge crowd, as the last time I remember making it was during Inge Festival. Double the above, prep sandwiches, wrap in foil, toss in oven 'til warm and melty...prepare for others to develop a strange crush on you for a few days! Don't worry, it wears off after a while.
