Damn if a fried bologna sandwich doesn't sound tempting,
but no bologna in the house.  So it's going to be homemade
tomato soup here made with roasted tomatoes.  Maybe a
grilled cheese sandwich but at the moment maybe not.

   that all sounds good to me.  fried bologna used to be
more common but now good bologna is as expensive as
ground chuck.  once in a while i do really want a grilled
ham and cheese with yellow mustard on rye or pumpernickle.

Back in the 1950s when we occasionally had grilled bologna I don't think
it was possible to get good bologna. It was cheap meat, basically a
variation of a hotdog.  There was no Italian community where I lived. In
places where there were Italian communities they poor. They more
established were immigrants from a poor country and the more recent
Italian immigrants had come from a poor war torn country. The Italian
community today is a lot better off than then were 60 years ago and
there are quality cold cuts to be had.

 I was looking at some cheap bologna the other day. You need some soft
white bread and mayo to make a proper sandwich.

That's called a shit sandwich on da mainland Tojo.  Yoose would probably like it though.  I'm sure da Hawaiians would.
