It was our anniversary this past weekend, and the Griller got me something he knew I wanted. Not pretty. Not romantic, but exactly what I wanted! Of course he knew I wanted it, nothing is a secret here any more, he got tired of the returns when he surprised me! Still remembers that one wool sweater from 20 years ago. You don't love the sweater I got you? Too itchy, I love it, honey, but we have to return it! So ever since then he gets a "wish list" and we're all happy! This time I went along for the ride, might as well see what else is on sale and there is a never ending supply of those Bed, Bath and Beyond Coupons! Expired or not. Love that place!
So now the possibilities are endless.
The Griddler from Cuisinart! and we had a test run when we got home. Even using lite whole wheat bread, low fat American and a few slices of tomato, we have a winner! One little thing, when I got distracted slicing some fruit while it cooked, the cheese oozed out, all out. but that burnt cheese was the best part!
GRILLED CHEESE PANINI WITH TOMATO
AN OOZY GOOEY CHEESY PANINI. PERFECTION!
so it aint pretty, but it sure did taste really good!
Here's the pretty...
TULIPS! I love tulips!

I love it..Too itchy, I love it, honey, but we have to return it! I think I pulled that one once or twice, no I get gift cards so I can get what I really want.
ReplyDeleteI am sure that you have lots of fun with your new toy...grilled cheese sounds great, right now.
Happy anniversary! Yes...gotta love BB&B!! Woo hoo! So nice that your griller was a hit! And your tulips are just lovely! Happy week!...Debbie
ReplyDeleteNice grill! I'd love one like that buy it would have to reside in the garage since I have no room. Or maybe I'd just get rid of the the ole george foreman that I never use. Ya ...that's the ticket. :-) Healthy Panini and quick clean up. You are on the ball. Pretty tulip!
ReplyDeleteLove grilled cheese with tomato. I think I need one of those! Looks good, Carol... and is that your fine china?
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!! I think the list is the way to go for sure!!! Bed, Bath & Beyond coupons are the best. I save every one. My son who lives in California knows I always have a stash. He calls me to send them to him.
ReplyDeleteLove the grilled cheese!!
Very cool gift! I know a griller like that would go over very big in our house. Love the mosaic..so creative.
ReplyDeleteWe finally got a Bed Bath & Beyond near us here in Ontario and oh yes, love that store.

Happy Anniversary! Looks so good! Hope you have a wonderful new week!

A belated Happy Anniversary! What a good gift as you both benefit from the goodies you will be creating with it.
ReplyDeleteI love your tulip mosaic - wouldn't it be cool if each square was a canvas and you had a whole wall hung with them?
We got the pannini maker for Christmas and love it. It's so great for "what am I going to have?" nights.
ReplyDeleteLove the mosaic. THanks for your link to the canvas panel layout..
No cheese... just pass the strawberries please!

I love your mosaic tulip! The color is magnificent.
ReplyDeleteAnd your wish list is the way to go. I did that with my kids at Christmas last year. And although they hated giving me such (what they called) boring gifts, I was thrilled.
I like the burned cheese part best too!
Gorgeous TULIP!!!! Cathy
