Mmmmm – delicious!  My latest column for Eatdrinkfilms is all about grilled cheese sandwiches.  A staple in the States, but a mystery to me until recently.  Frying a sandwich in butter?  Outrageous!  But the first one I tried, Anne Baxter’s Mexican Cheese Supper Sandwich, was really, really delicious…

The recipes for Anne Baxter’s version, and Angie’s open faced cheese on toast sandwich can be found here…  I LOVE Angie Dickinson

My only modification was to add a little black pepper, in tribute to Angie’s character in Police Woman – Sergeant “Pepper” Anderson.  Thanks to the ace Johnny Ray Huston for that little joke!
