Things That Start With 'S'

Unlike in college, where I did a humanities concentration in "Things that start with 'L'", tonight's dinner was composed of things that begin with 'S'. Soup, salad, and sandwiches. We had the trusty Fresh Express Asian Supreme salad again, and combined it with Harry's Organic Creamy Tomato Basil soup, which we found at Costco.

Nothing goes better with tomato soup than a grilled cheese sandwich. Fortunately, we had some bread I rescued from work last week, and some muenster cheese in the fridge. Muenster also happens to be the best cheese for grilled cheese.

I wouldn't be me if I didn't want to put tomatoes on everything, and grilled cheese is no exception. I sliced up a nice tomato, and ate everything I couldn't fit on the sandwich.

A little butter and some time on the griddle later, and I've got a tasty, colorful dinner. I ate the salad afterward.

Total calories were fewer than I expected:

• 180 for my half of the salad
• 333 for the bowl of soup
• 430 for the sandwich (2 x 100 bread, 180 for 1.5 slices of cheese, 50 for the butter)
• 25 for the tomato

All told, 968 calories.
