It’s slowly coming back now, the morning rhythm of getting things ready for school.

Breakfast – Steamed flat rice noodles – yum. With warmed scallions in soy sauce.

Lunch – Mortadella, salami, pepperoni, black forest ham on Italian white bread, panini style. Leafy green lettuce. It looked so good when I made it, all warm, with gooey melty cheese. I always wonder how it tastes several hours later when it emerges from the lunch sack.

Dinner – The Habit Burger Grill.

I have an idea for a new Food Network reality show. Lunch Wars. Parents go to outlandish lengths to out do each other for best school lunch. Have 3-4 parents who are hard core. And one who is like PB&J works. Daily. And the kids compare at the table. And some throw away or trade away the goodness. Great idea, right? I know.
