Farmer Boy's "Lucy's Apple/Cheddar Griller"
Ingredients: (for each sandwich)
- 4 or more slices of bacon, cooked
- 1/2 of a medium-sized apple, sliced thinly
- 2 - 4 Tablespoons of Cheddar Cheese, grated (or you can use "Cheez Whiz" or the like)
- 2 slices of bread
- melted butter
Directions: Lay out 2 slices of bread. Coat one slice with the cheese. Place the cooked bacon on top of that and the sliced apple on top of that. Cover with the remaining cheese and the other slice of bread. Brush the top with butter. Place the sandwich upside down on a griddle or skillet, over medium heat. As it cooks, brush the top with butter. When lightly browned, turn it over and cook the second side. Serve warm.
I'm reminded of the story about the discussion had between the chicken and the pig.
It seems the chickens on the farm went to see the pig, in his pen. They were bragging about how the chickens were the most important animals on the farm. "We give the farmer and his family eggs for his breakfast every day" they bragged. The pig thought about this for a moment and then said, "Yes, that is important, but your contribution is small compared to that sacrifice which I make to contribute to that breakfast meal!" This is so true - the eggs were a sacrifice, but could be replaced the next day. But the pig would have to give up his life to provide the bacon!
I guess the moral of this story is for us to keep in mind our committment to causes. Are we just wishing others the best, letting them do all the work towards success, or are we putting forth full effort ourselves to make the endeavor a success? We should always do our best; and that, not just for acclaim!
