When I was little, Sunday evening supper had to be fast and easy...there is only so much time between church and Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. So my dad would make us grilled cheese sandwiches and 'Timber floats'. I never liked plain old grilled cheese, boorrring, so he made mine just a little different. Oh, the Timber Float, it's a takeoff of the root beer float with 1 big difference, it is 1 toothpick to a glass of Water. He thought it was funny, but to an 8 year old....not so funny.
