  We here at Slashfood actually had a grilled cheese day back in 2005, but today is the official Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day.

  Everyone has their own way of making a grilled cheese. Some people are very strict and only use American cheese and white bread. Some get creative with their breads, and some add tomato and fresh basil.

  The sandwich above, by the way, is this Breakfast Cinnamon-Raisin Apple Grilled Goat Cheese Sandwich.

  But whatever you do, don't make this one. Trust me.

  Very rarely do I cry. I don't cry in movies. I don't cry over stories in books. I didn't even cry (that much) when my heart was broken. However, I do cry over food. Though, like with other things in my life, these tear-inducing occasions are rare, they are...fabulous. Call me a sissy; I don't care.
  
  Up until recently, I...
  




• Woman gets Virgin Mary grilled cheese tattoo

  Obviously, a headline like that requires a little explanation. Here goes: 11 years ago, Diana Duyser (right) of Ft. Lauderdale made a grilled cheese sandwich and, upon taking her first bite, noticed what she said was a likeness of the Virgin Mary burned into the bread. She quickly put the rest of the sandwich in a plastic container padded with cotton for safe keeping in her freezer. Two years ago, Duyser put the sandwich on eBay, where internet casino and exemplar of good taste GoldenPalace.com snatched it up for $28,000, as...
  



• The world's worst grilled cheese recipe. Ever.
  

  Filed under: Cheese, Grilled Cheese Day

  All this talk about grilled cheese and so many great recipes. But if you don't know what you're doing, a grilled cheese sandwich can be one of your more lame meals.

  Case in point: I go through these periods when I'm going to eat all healthy and stuff. You know, drink 8 glasses of water a day, not eat anything past 7 pm, cut down on sugar, eat low fat this and low calorie that. But I like grilled cheese sandwiches so I came up with this: take two slices of low carb bread and toast them in the toaster. Then take two slices of low-fat American cheese (the brand...

  The wonderful blog Taste Everything Once adds to our Grilled Cheese extravaganza with a book recommendation. Marlena Spieler's Grilled Cheese: 50 Recipes to Make Your Mouth Melt has been a hit for Jennifer, the blogger behind Taste Everything Once. She writes "This little book is pure food porn. The photographs are lush and sumptuous. Delectable sandwich after sandwich is vibrantly pictured next to an accompanying recipe."

   One of my favorite combinations of bread, cheese and heat is an open-faced sandwich of blue cheese and honey. In the past, I've had good luck with Stilton and Maytag, but any blue that isn't too much on the crumbly side will work well.
   Simply split a baguette and toast it slightly. Add chunks of blue cheese and drizzle with honey. I'm fond of using a light, mild honey that doesn't compete too much with the cheese. Orange blossom is usually a good bet. Run the sandwich under the...

This is my documentation of last night's attempt to recreate one of my favorite (anti)culinary memories. When I was 18 and living away from home for the first time, I had an apartment in downtown Chicago, not far from Greek Town. My cadre of art school friends - mostly slightly older, mostly painters, mostly boys - would often end up at my place at the end of a long night full of bad-wine drinking and bad-gallery crawling. Such activities seem to guarantee... Arepas at home Filed under: Breakfast, Snacks, South America, Cheese, Frying, Grilled Cheese Day, How To Via eGullet comes this discussion of making cheese arepas at home. For those not familiar, arepas are fried cakes of cornmeal dough, often sold as street food in South America and also at street fairs in the U.S. Although cheese is a common filling, other common stuffings include beef or pork. Coincidentally, at a brunch I hosted yesterday, a friend decided to whip up a batch on the spot. She topped hers with black beans, and also tossed some sage and roasted red peppers into a few batches. Some...
