"Girled" Cheese

Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup has always been a family favorite.  It's a feast around here.  When I announce the savory dish, I am met with a chorus of "Yums"!  Being the kind mother I am, I allow them the feast often--weekly, in fact.  It's affordable.  I use milk, not water, so naturally I feel like I am providing a nutritious dinner...lol...plus....how easy is it to make?    Thank God for Campbell's!!

Since she could talk, instead of saying 'grilled' cheese, my daughter has called it 'girled' cheese--not boy cheese, but girled.  She had ear issues as a tot (tonsils, tubes, adenoids) and wasn't hearing properly there for a while.  Girled Cheese was just something we didn't correct.  It was cute, that girled cheese!  It stuck.

Before long, we were all saying it.  Girled Cheese. 

Just a few days ago I walked in on a heated argument between my daughter and her friend.

"Nuh uh....it's GRILLED cheese.  G-R-I-L-L-E-D."

"Well, you're wrong," said my daughter, hand on hip, in her most condescending voice,
"It's GIRLED!!!  G-I-R-L-E-D!"

With a smug look she turn to me and said, "Right, Mommy?"
