My new favorite thing: Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.
I'm on the hunt for good recipes. All last week I made grilled cheese sandwiches with my favorite wheat bread, tomatoes, black pepper, Havarti cheese (because when I picked up the Beehive Cheese Co. cheese at my local hippie store, I was very excited and interested to try the cheese smoked with walnut shells and apples, but then I saw the price and realized that I do not yet love the Earth or local manufacturers or any of my food principles enough to pay that much for a dairy product, dear as it is to my heart, so I bought some nicely priced Danish goodness instead. I will have to do some expensive-cheese-purchasing visualizations before my next trip to the hippie store). Today I ran out of tomatoes, so I substituted pears. Interesting. I have roasted red peppers in the cupboard and fresh mozzarella, both of which seem like wise grilled cheese sandwich fillings, and basil would be a nice addition to that kind of sandwich if I hadn't completely forgotten about my beautiful basil plant last week and left it uncared for on the balcony for a few days before coming out to find its withered, yellowed plant carcass lying on the concrete.
And I'm wondering what I could do with a cinnamon bread base . . .
Any suggestions?

MBC,
Wow, this is my first blog comment ever. Cinnamon bread, mascarpone cream cheese and fresh peaches. Delicious!
I know that this isn't too fancy, but it's good.
When I was pregnant, I went through a grilled cheese and pickle sandwich phase.
But I think it is a tasty treat, even for the non-pregnant.
Also, if you're ever in my part of the world, I know a very nice hippie cheese shop where I once spent way too much money on goat cheese and gouda.
(Oh yeah--goat cheese and strawberries might be nice on the cinnamon bread.)
i can not for the life of me find that article and i know i wasn't hallucinating. grr.
Rebekah--Don't you worry. I'll find the article.
Ti-Cup--Look at you! I love it when the silent speak. Especially when they give brilliant recipe advice.
E--I will give it a try, and I am intrigued by your magic cheese shop. We might need to make some plans . . .
Yesterday I had pizza with pears and gorgonzolla cheese. It was so good! They had to drag me out of the restaurant.
