So the kids have been in school for just over a week and I'm not nearly approaching any sort of daily rhythm yet. Day two or three I grab a quick osmosis dose of Faith Middleton's Food Schmooze on the radio. I'm only half listening because I'm kind of sick of the perpetual orgasm Faith has while talking recipes. Then I hear her say, "It's back to school and were thinking sandwiches and homemade bread". Well that's just about all I can handle. Come on Faith? While I'm busy pushing a variety of store-bought breads - trying to spice them up with Nutella and Fluff - Faith is busy stoking her olde world oven, at least in a virtual way. So here's what I have to say: My kids have proven time and time again that they eat differently at school than at home. For the years they've been in school, they've snubbed apples, cheddar slices, organic yogurt, turkey breast sandwiches and homemade soup. So in an effort to avoid my starving child's inability to learn in class, I'll send just about anything if I know they'll actually eat it.
