As a visiting nurse I hear many pearls of wisdom from my patients. Recently a patient said something to me that was particularly noteworthy. He said, “You know, I was a kid in the Depression era. At Christmas time I would get one toy for the year – and I would love it, I would play with it, and I was happy. I didn’t need toys, because I had the outdoors and I had friends. My grandkids get all of these toys, phones, and gadgets, and I don’t think they’re as happy as I was.”

As a parent and as a consumer there really is something to be said about his statement. We’re always getting barraged with advertising of every kind possible, and I don’t have to walk far out my front door to see status symbols like the pricey Mercedes next door. It’s easy to allow one’s identity to get wrapped up in the things that we have or want. The more we have, the more we want, which in the end produces a vicious cycle of discontentment. The truth is, it’s not what we have that makes us happy, but who we are, how we view ourselves, how we view God, and who we love.

“The folly of endless consumerism sends us on a wild-goose chase for happiness through materialism.”

-Bryant McGill

    This was amazing, and it came together so fast. Less than 20 minutes start to finish. I served it over spinach leaves with fresh pineapple on the side. Simple, fast, delicious, and healthy!

    I will say that I wasn’t expecting to read about your patient who spoke about the consumer differences between the great depression and now. It’s one thing to logically know that we way we live now is meaninglessly indulgent, but another to speak to someone who has lived the difference. Got some Patagonia Wild Caught Salmon that I’m excited to try an inspiration of your recipe with, but I want to let you know that your first passage is something I’ll carry with me. The only reason I even bothered to read it was that I saw the Great Depression in it and thought it was wild to try to connect that to salmon, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that you didn’t try to hype up the recipe in the introduction. That was refreshing.
