Having been a very weight-conscious high schooler, I usually had diet soda and either baked chips, a granola bar or pop tarts for lunch and that was it. Basically, I ate sugar for lunch but not enough actual food to gain any weight.

My high school in the midwest had the free and reduced lunch program, and the kids that qualified were some of the only kids who ate the school lunch at all. So it was almost a mark of being low-income to eat the school lunch.

No Emile Henry? I'm a pretty dedicated fan. ;)

How To Roast Any Vegetable

I do this maybe twice a week with Brussels sprouts, broccoli, broccolini or asparagus. I would recommend sea salt before roasting, and adding a few smaller cloves of garlic if you like roasted garlic (which I do). Lemon juice, a little sprinkling of parmesan or red pepper flakes also make nice additions.

@jptr13 Second day roasted veggies are almost as good so I would think they'd be fine in a soup. I would be careful not to get them too brown though because I imagine the crispier bits would taste a little bitter blended up.

How can there even be a post on Nancy Meyers without mentioning the Father of the Bride II baby's room? Or the whole house for that matter?

What kind of temps are people using with the quarry tiles/untreated slate?

We've gone through three or four commercial stones but they can't withstand the heat necessary to get really good homemade crust. I love Emile Henry so considering that one... anyone tried it at 450-500 F?

I've stayed at the Morrison but can assure you my room looked nothing like that. I think that must be the suite! Nice hotel, though, and fantastic mojitos at the bar, though I realize how inauthentic it is to drink a Cuban cocktail in Dublin!

Roasted veggies -- asparagus, broccoli, could try cauliflower but haven't yet. On a baking sheet with olive oil, sea salt and a little red pepper for 20-30 minutes at 400 degress or mroe. Delicious.

Lately I've been experimenting with pancakes. I quit eating them all together for about a year because the flour/sugar combination was just not very satisfying. At the moment I'm trying out recipes with cottage cheese or ricotta -- the heavy texture is much more satisfying than your regular fluffy pancake, and you get a protein boost too. Delicious with real maple syrup and berries on top!
