EXAMPLE SENTENCE: '"the television station was besieged with calls".  FEATURED RESTAURANT: Cafe Metro 477 Cedar Ln, Teaneck, NJ 07666 (201) 530-7500cafemetronj.com  BIO:    BERNADINE HARRIGAN - OWNER Café Metro opened in 2015 Once they opened Café Metro, it was as if the community was longing for something like this! Not only did they come in for the delicious food of the islands, but also karaoke on Thursday and Saturday nights, birthday celebrations, weddings, anniversaries, and all types of gatherings. Café Metro’s authentic dishes have attracted people of all ethnicities to explore the fresh and flavorful colors and tastes of the Caribbean. Traditional Caribbean dishes are influenced by many world cultures, including Spain, Britain, and West Africa. Cafe Metro thinks that’s part of the reason why when people visit Café Metro, they feel as though they are part of the family! Ms. Bernadine Story: Cooking has been Ms. Bernadine's passion for as far back as she can remember. Growing up on the Caribbean island of Antigua, she was the seventh of eleven siblings, so home-cooked meals were an essential part of her family’s life. In those days, she used to cook outdoors on a clay coal-pot. Ms. Bernadine could make or bake almost anything with the coal-pot! There was something about going into our backyard, gathering ingredients, and combining them to create different dishes that she loved. Ms. Bernadine remembers rushing home from elementary school so that she could prepare dinner for her siblings. To this day, they continue to tell stories about how much she loved cooking. As Ms. Bernadine got older, she would cook local authentic Caribbean food to sell to her community. Ms. Bernadine's greatest reward is to see the people she loves enjoy my food. "I hope that my passion for cooking traditional Caribbean food will shine through in every meal served at Café Metro." “Eat till you belly full!”   DISHES:    Oxtails Salmon Rasta Pasta and Stewed Chicken Ginger Tea/Ginger Beer        DIVA’S TABLE TOPIC: When does eye candy become lust?

STATS: https://www.gotquestions.org/lust-of-the-eyes.html  Satan uses the lust of the eyes as one avenue of temptation. Part of the reason Eve listened to the serpent in the Garden was that she looked at the forbidden fruit and saw that it was “pleasing to the eye” (Genesis 3:6). Satan used a visual image to help entrap her. Satan tried a similar tactic on Jesus. One of his temptations in the wilderness was an attempt to make Jesus covet earthly power. Satan used a visual: he “showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor” (Matthew 4:8). He then promised to give them to Jesus—for a price. Of course, Jesus did not succumb to the lust of the eyes, and Satan was defeated (verses 10 and 11). Simply put, the lust of the eyes is the sinful desire to possess what we see or to have those things which have visual appeal. This coveting of money, possessions, or other physical things is not from God, but from the world around us. John emphasizes that these physical things do not last; they will pass away. In contrast, the child of God is guaranteed eternity.
