Hamburger Buns - Steve
OK... so, maybe it's because I'm 36 hours from a new little boy (please pray!) but I'm thinking intently about the wonder (no pun intended) of hamburger buns. This will be a random post. Bear with me.
1 - Hamburger Buns are bread... that's all... sure, it is rounded bread, but it is just bread. It is kind of like a dome of bread with a slice through it. It is marketed specifically to those who enjoy hamburgers. Kind of odd. There aren't any "peanut butter and jelly" buns. More people probably eat PB&J any given day, but yet, those people are content to just slap it on regular old bread. why? You PB&J'ers should stand up for your dignity. Demand recognition!
2 - Hamburger Buns make great potholders/hot food pads. This is actually what started me thinking about hamburger buns. I was grabbing soup out of the microwave, and couldn't find a potholder nearby. I did, however, plan to dip a hamburger bun into the soup as a bonus appetizer. So, I grabbed both sides of the bun and pulled the bowl out of the microwave. No burns... no mess... and I got to eat it afterward. I'm sure if you put a few of those bottom halves on a table or counter, it would make a great hot plate, too. **note** I take NO responsibility for any burns that may occur. It worked for me.
3 - Hamburger Buns are a dependent market. Without hamburgers, where would the buns be? I don't know of a company that makes both burgers AND buns. It is usually one or the other. Is this a good business practice? I guess the same is true for hot dog buns, but they wouldn't be as good of a potholder.
4 - Hamburger Bun tops taste quite different from Hamburger Bun bottoms. Try it. You'll see.
Some of you may be wondering "Steve, this is weird. What is the theological meaning behind all of this?"
There is none. Now go eat a hamburger and clear your mind for a bit. We all need a break sometimes.

Five Guys Burgers & Fries are the best burgers in the world. If you work for Five Guys, you have a friend in me. We'll even consider them the official burger of Emergence, for the right price. If you are on weight watchers, be advised that a standard Five Guys burger is 24 points. Spend wisely.
Please notice that (other than the wonder comment up top) I have refrained from any bun puns. I was tempted, but did not do it. Ah! 1 Corinthians 10:13... there's your spiritual insight!
