It has been about 2 weeks since we have been encouraged to stay at home, and so I have been doing a lot more cooking than usual. My lunch today was a grilled cheese sandwich made with some pretty stale Angelic Bakehouse Sprouted Whole Grain Wheat Bread, the last of my Sartori Montamore Cheddar, and Woeber's Reserve honey mustard, which I think I got in one of those corporate holiday gift baskets several years ago. It has a "best by" date of January 2017 on the bottle, but does honey or mustard really go bad?
I am sorry to brag, but I have to be honest and tell you that I cooked this sandwich perfectly: browned equally on both sides with melted butter, slowly grilled so the usually crumbly Montamore cheese melted beautifully. The sweet honey mustard balanced the tanginess of the cheese. I served it to myself with a sliced Honeycrisp apple and a glass of sparkly water from my Sodastream. There was pretty nice ambiance in my kitchen too; no crowds, no noise, no wait. Perhaps a little too much cat fur on the countertops to pass official health code ... but unlike Covid-19, that never killed anybody.
