Seriously... it worked! LOL... Thanks, dear. Lunch was great! Enjoyed it with Recipe #514129. I used white farm-house cheddar & sourdough bread. Too funny. (Although I have to admit that it took me over an hour to locate my iron). What a fun time!!! I laughed all the way though the process!!! :D When I took hubby a sandwich and left-over soup for lunch today, and I told him that I "ironed" him a sandwich, he thought I had completely lost it! I can't wait until we go up to our cabin (with NO electricity) and put my 'wrought iron" iron on the camp fire and make these for the grand-kids! What fun!!!
