Cheese on toast with a twist!
My grandmother used to make a rather odd cheese on toast recipe when we were small and I've never come across it anywhere since so not sure whether it was a regional recipe - she was from Cheshire - or maybe an old war time recipe, so wondered whether anyone here has ever heard of it.

Cold in bed and memory foam.....for a pet.

She is doing a lot better now, but she is skinny and prone to getting cold. She has a…
