ah... classic lunch time meals from childhood... especially once we were old enough to be let loose in the kitchen on our own :)

grilled cheese & tomato soup... Ann Page was our preferred brand, though my grandfather - who grew up in south Jersey where they grew tomatoes for Campbells- swore by Campbells. The favorite family story was when a strike was threatened and he would advise everyone to stock up on tomato soup just in case there was a shortage... he bought two cans. He didn't understand the laughter...

the other soup & sandwich was Lipton chicken noodle soup (salt in a box) with a BLT...

and yes, the grilled cheese was done in a skillet... with loads of butter. Mom would sometimes use the wall oven, but it seemed easier on the stove for us kids.
