TGIF

I still have to work out some kinks regarding photography, light, and the morning rush. It's an interesting learning curve.

We make the lunches assuming T will eat some right away. Yesterday that was the Stromboli. Today he'll eat the almond butter and banana sandwich first, no doubt.

The overexposed redleaf salad has roasted chicken breast with garlic, tomato, peppers, grapes, carrots, raspberry vinaigrette and Mom's has celery where T's pasta goes.

Yesterday T was so full of Stromboli and Chili he didn't finish his salad, partly because he didn't have time. I'm thinking something with the salad in it would be good. Pita sandwiches and wraps probably. But then we'll need muffins or something to get him his carbs. I can't see him complaining about muffins. It's easy to sneak veggies into them, too.

He gets two ham sandwiches on whole wheat, Mom gets one with lowfat mayo. She may or may not eat the chicken salad and the sandwich, depending on how late they work today.

Tangerines, Milanos for T, and Bob's your uncle.

I did steam some chopped kale, but totally forgot about it, so the kids and I can have that today instead of salad. I like to steam it three minutes in the microwave steamer (stinky!) and dress it like a salad. It's good with an Asian dressing, or just some sesame oil and umeboshi plum vinegar, or even just lime juice, salt and olive oil once it's steamed. It's exceptional sauted with chunks of garlic in olive oil. We don't do the whole southern boil-to-death thing.
