loujac3 I just researched the various stands and I am going to go with a Belnap. Check them out on Amazon.com. There is also a rebate available after the purchase of a Belnap. So, you are basically getting it for free. Good luck!

loujac3 @loujac3 (1188) • United States 21 Jul 08

How will you spend yours? The President doesn't want to talk about it but many of us would love to see another check. I used mine to get caught up on some of my bills. If there is to be another one, I think I would like to put it...

Forget the grilled cheese, have you tried grilled peanutbutter and jelly?

loujac3 @loujac3 (1188) • United States 27 May 08

I never would have done this on my own but it really is good. It really enhances the flavor and you grill it the same way that you would a Grilled cheese sandwich. Give it a try and then let me know what you think........Yum!
