A grilled cheese with not just cheese... Carmelized red onion, Fresh apple slices, 

and 2 cheeses: mild cheddar cheese and asiago cheese.

I of course will urge you to try this on Ezekiel bread... its amazing toasted, and more filling!

It is grrreeattt!

Well, the Thanksgiving holiday is gone, I really don't like how black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, 9the day that we thank God for what we are blessed with and already have) and then turn around the next day and buy a new flat screen TV. But that's consumerism for you! 

King Solomon had a bit to say about possessions:

 Here's a piece of bad luck I've seen happen: 
   A man hoards far more wealth than is good for him 
   And then loses it all in a bad business deal. 
   He fathered a child but hasn't a cent left to give him. 
   He arrived naked from the womb of his mother; 
   He'll leave in the same condition—with nothing. 
   This is bad luck, for sure—naked he came, naked he went. 
   So what was the point of working for a salary of smoke? 
   All for a miserable life spent in the dark?

After looking at the way things are on this earth, here's what I've decided is the best way to live: Take care of yourself, have a good time, and make the most of whatever job you have for as long as God gives you life. And that's about it. That's the human lot. Yes, we should make the most of what God gives, both the bounty and the capacity to enjoy it, accepting what's given and delighting in the work. It's God's gift! God deals out joy in the present, the now. It's useless to brood over how long we might live.

So before you complain about the sale you missed, or the new shoes you want, make sure your heart is in the right place before you buy any luxury items, and make sure that they don't oppress others. it's time we begin to make a difference with our purchases!
