Breakfast or lunch?

I spend a lot of time listening to the radio in the morning. I have several radio shows I flip between (I hate commercials). I get a lot of information from my stations. Local news, current events, sports, activities, humor, and every now and again meal ideas. The other week, one of my stations was talking about a local restaurant they really enjoyed. Two of the personalities claim the best thing on the menu is the Monte Cristo sandwich. This was a new one for me and I had to look it up. Google is your friend. A monte cristo sandwich is a cross between a sandwich and french toast. I knew right away it would be a big hit with Jon. The Monte Cristo is both savory - with ham, cheese, and turkey and sweet - with powdered sugar and raspberry. Basically its a grilled cheese on crack.

I was right about the reaction...kinda. When I placed the sandwich on the table, Jon looked at me as though I might be on crack. I begged his indulgence to at least try it, and my ever indulgent husband tried it. He really liked it. Although he felt the raspberry preserves were an unnecessary addition.
