The Best Thing I Had In My Mouth - Tomato Grilled Cheese Sandwich

This week has been a huge disappointment of mediocre food.  Accidentally added guac in my Chipotle burrito online order - FAIL.  Had Dominos Pizza - health FAIL.  Ate at Dos Toros - LivingSocial FAIL.  There were some successes - Roasted Tomato and Eggplant soup (which I also used as pizza sauce), homemade pizza, and this tomato grilled cheese sandwich.  Fresh CSA tomatoes with Consider Bardwell Farm Pawlet cheese.  Major SUCCESS and the best thing I had in my mouth all week.

If you are in the mood for some baking - try this chewy and crispy chocolate chip cookie recipe.

Dominos Pizza - Is it Really Better?

After the beer garden, we hung out on Anna and Marcus' roof, where we could admire the Manhattan skyline as we waited for Domino's pizza.  I don't know why we had decided on Domino's, but I was willing to give it a try due to the recent commercials proclaiming how horrible their pizza use to be and how it is now so much better.  I guess I could give them credit for being honest.  
A little background on my pizza past:  I lived for Pizza Hut and its greasy golden crust as both a child and teenager.  Book-It was not about books for me, it was about my personal pan that no one but me could touch.  Did I mention that Pizza Hut and I have the same birth place - Wichita, Kansas?  I can still taste the crispy, slightly burnt pepperonis in my mouth, or the taco (no meat please) pizza I would order with my mom.  At my grandparent's place we would order Godfather's.  I don't know why they preferred Godfather's over Pizza Hut, but I did quite enjoy their dessert streusel pizza.  As I got older Papa John's came in my life and quickly exited, as I found their pizza too "gourmet."  Garlic dipping sauce, pepperocinis - really?  Not needed.  As I got older I would sometimes stop at Little Cesars with friends for their five dollar large pizzas, but I rarely had Domino's.  To me Domino's was the loser of the pizzas.  After moving to New York, I have been inundated with pizza, unfortunately I have yet to find a good place to order in Harlem.  So I took this opportunity not only as a little party, but also as a research project.
