Yes those are Kraft Singles American Cheese. I don't care. I like it. Old School. I don't want any fancy cheese. I went with the onion bun.

No tomato as none are ready in the garden yet but I grew the lettuce and onion. I also ground the beef as always. I have to know where my meat comes from.

They tasted good so we ate them.

The solar chicken turned out so good the other day, we made another batch and took it to my aunt and grandmother for dinner. Granny is 92 and typically doesnt eat much, but tonight she cleared her plate of rice, salad, and a chicken thigh, then went for another entire chicken thigh! I couldn't believe it. But she knows good food, having lived the better part of her life in Berkeley, ca within blocks of world class foods, produce, and restaurants. It was there, with her, as a young child that my culinary interests were likely cultivated.

My grandmother was a great cook, and often didnt give herself enough credit. (She tells me she still does the dishes on Mondays, she is so sweet). I have many fond memories of her house on Eunice St. over looking the bay area. Often of her cooking a soup from scratch, served with a sourdough baguette from The Cheese Board, a local bakery just a few blocks away. Sometimes the simplest meals are the best and most impressionable. It was an old house, small, two story, with a swinging door between the kitchen and living area. So you really had to be in the kitchen if you didnt want to miss out on the action. Granny was an educator, she retired from teaching at Berkeley high school, so naturally I was always learning things with her, especially in the kitchen, even if I didnt know it at the time. I love that all these years later I am still learning, and able to cook her a meal to enjoy. I think it's rewarding for both of us.

@curious2garden with Marsala this time, thank you.

Man that looks good!! That, a salad and a crisp white (I might even put ice cubes in it--stole that heresy from a friend). Thanks for sharing the memories.
