...grilled cheese sandwich!. After not making for a looong time - I've made five in the past 2+ weeks. 
Arnold's Oven White, or seedless rye.
Cheddar cheese melts away too fast. I don't like to mix cheeses for melting, so I've switched to Swiss (yum). If I remember I'll sprinkle on garlic/onion powder, black pepper. Must try provelone!
Like to add sliced tomatoes.
Melt butter in pan. Press down, then flip over so both sides are buttered.
I was thinking about- did I ever put a bit of mayo on it (inside) waaay back. Hmm.
My first cross-country trip by bus at a dinner stop in Indianapolis I tried a long roll hot with fresh turkey and melted Swiss. Oh, yum.
And us Greek-Americans at a Greek restaurant we can get melted flaming Greek cheese (one of several are used) in a small skillet or plate doused with lemon juice by the waiter. Then we scoop it up with pita bread! Sometimes olive oil and garlic are involved. Yum!!!
Ah, the Rhapsody of Grilled Cheese!

Amazing!
a bit teary eyed
A deeply moving show of solidarity
When I was a young teen ('60's) I lived in a majority Jewish neighborhood. Was Catholic.
On one visit to a friend's house her mom showed us the small blue numbers tattooed on her wrist. Chilling. 
Stay safe and healthy, Joyce Wagner!
My sorrow and how Bobby changed
Hi
Been trying to get on here to this thread since Fri (trouble w making my account).
In the past 6 days I realized I needed to have a further outlet for my political passions. Then I remembered DU and wondered if the site was still around (I'm talking a long time back).
Because of the timing I immediately looked to find anything commemorating RFK. And found you folks!
Well, as some said - I never totally got over it either. After losing MLK so many people pinned their hopes on Bobby.
I was 15, already being somewhat politically active. I was hoping to catch seeing him in the NYS Primary (obviously didn't happen), and I would have done volunteer work had he won the nomination!
I was absolutely devastated!!!!
Went to St Patrick's, and next watched the funeral procession on 34st to Penn Station. Watched The Train to DC on tv.
-----------------------------
I knew about the Tough Bobby as some described him bc things were floating around, and written about him prior to 68. I knew he'd changed, and I remember my mom saying "he's changed!". People knew that JFK's assassination devastated him, and that sorrow seemed increase his empathy, plus important black people when he was AG read him the riot act about the lives of black people back then, and we See that some serious issues have't changed (or not much).
What I didn't know (I know the author of the following has been in hot water recently) that was written about in "A Raging Spirit - RFK ....." by Chris Mathew who did tons of research -it turns out that Bobby was a gentle, empathetic child. His father however Hated that! So he began to hide that part of him. Became tough physically (football), and mentally, etc.
So it had been mostly put away till time after Nov 22.
Now I'm going to see the several later posts I haven't seen yet.
