Tomato soup with grilled cheese (even better with ham!) is
classic.  :) I  have to ask.  Why margarine and not butter?

 
 
FWIW I used to prefer margarine to butter for grilled cheese. A
couple years ago I switched to  little olive oil. More recently I
have switched from cooking them on a grill or in a pan to doing
them in my air fryer.
 
 

 

After we both get jabs. Pnuemonia (1st) for her, TDAP
(tetanus, diptheria, whooping cough) for me. Docs orders.
 

Whooping cough?  Are you around many babies?

 
 
How about measles? That appears to be making a comeback thanks to
all the anti vaxxers.  I am not the only one hear who remembers
the older students in our elementary schools having to wear steel
braces because they had had polio. We were vaccinated in Gr. 1
and never knew of anyone to get polio after that.

 
I remember when the measles vaccine came out.  All us kids in a
line at Kmart or the grocery store (don't recall which).  Polio
too.  There was no way to get in public school without a couple of
vaccines.  I think they were all free for kids?

 
You are a few years younger than I am so you probably don't remember
having students in school who had too wear those steel braces because
they had had polio.  We got vaccinated in Gr. 1 and none of us got
polio. I had measles at some point before I started school.

Similar.  Mine wasn't the first polio (with the horrible case of 200
kids getting polio from it as it wasn't properly deactivated due to a
lab mistake) as that was in 1955 and I wasn't born yet.  I think I got
the measles one when it came out, (very young, might have been 3?) and
the others came along in course.  There were big 'events' at stores
with free ones in the 2 weeks or so before school started.  I may have
had the first polio one when between 6m-9m or so and sporadically after.

Military doubled everything of course.
