Speaking of comfort…are you searching? Just want to let you know that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob wants to be your Comforter if you’ll allow Him. Won’t you let Him in? He sent His Son, Jesus just for you! Pray this simple prayer, “Dear Heavenly Father, I am a sinner. Forgive me for my sins Lord. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son and that He died for my sins and You raised Him from the dead. I want to invite Him into my heart to take control of my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.” Say Grace and enjoy!

So the buttered side is inside on both? Just says, “top with remaining bread slices that have the mayo mixture”
The buttered sides go against the grill.
