Fred,
Welcome back!! We’ve missed you!!!
If your mother is still alive (and from what I read, it seems like she is), next time you see her, would you please give her an extra hug for me? Mine died in 2001 at age 88.
My mom never made iron sandwiches, by the way, but she did make a grilled Hershey bar sandwich that was out of this world!
Gee, maybe I ought to pull out her iron and cook up something… it’s sitting there on the ironing board in her bedroom… I may not have even gotten around to unplugging it….

Even better open a place in NYC and call it IRON SANDWICH
cook all sandwiches on an iron and you will have the next big thing. Dont’ laugh-sombody is going to get rich of my idea.

Sorry, I was laughing so hard I forgot to put in the message[:D]

Anyway, great idea!! And I have the perfect location for it: The Flatiron District!!!! [:)]

For those who don’t know, it is named after the Flatiron Building (which is shaped like – guess what??) on the corner of 23 St/5th Ave/ Broadway, and home to many trendy restaurants (Shake Shack, ‘wichcraft, Tabla, Bolo, etc.) Danny Meyers are ya readin this?

I loved them both but the Three Stooges made me LMAO. How did you remember the name of the short?

Because I may be the only human being alive who liked Shemp better than Curly.

My brother had a good friend who was a latchkey kid. We would go and play in his backyard all the time, making forts and haunted houses, played baseball and the like. I had never seen someone use an iron to make grilled cheese, until one day I saw him making one for lunch. Before microwaves, he wasn’t allowed to use the gas stove, but he could use the iron!! [:)] His mother had the little packets made up for him, and he just had to heat the iron and a hot lunch was served.

Wow, how times have changed!! [V]

Good to see you again

My grandmother, was a housewife, she did the cooking and the cleaning while my grandfather worked out in the community, he worked for the local telephone company.

One hot summer days, since she was already doing the laundry and such, she would make sandwiches for my grandfather by "ironing" them.

She didn’t want to heat the whole kitchen up by cooking some, so she would use whatever meat was left over from last night’s dinner, slice up some home made bread, add some local cheese, wrap it up and while she would do her ironing, would toast the sandwich.

Grandpa would come home for lunch, and there would be a hot sandwich or two waiting for him. They would take their lunch out under the big tree in the front yard (cool & shady) and eat lunch together, watching the Ohio river go by.

Grandma always told that story to us as kids, I grew up in a house not 5 doors down from where she and grandpa lived. She did say that she would refuse to make my grandfather’s favorite sandwich, using her iron. He loved Limburger cheese with onion on dark rye bread.
