This:

“the trees are nearly green through the windows, over the shed the sky is gone, all green with summer on its mind. there’s also a lot of pink on our street, everyone dressed for some gatsby party, pink, white, fluttery.”

takes my breath away.

Hah, this takes me back to a memorable dinner from my childhood that, mysteriously, everyone spilled their drinks on before they could finish. Egg Foo Yung looks amazingly different in a puddle of cherry Kool-Aid. I still remember what a good sport my mom was about it, though.

My boys like “Orc Slops” as they call lentil soup, but today I experimented a little and made it lentil-barley soup. They ate it gratefully at lunch (along with a generous hunk o’ sausage). However, when I tried to convince them it was dinner, too. . . What prompted me to use TWO bags of lentils and a whole bag of barley?! We have lentil-barley mush to last a week of lunches.

I suggest PB&J for dinner, but R9 said, “Mom. . . please, something hot!? You can make stir fry with no meat?” Ah, my pseudo-veggie kids and their decent eating habits and attitudes. *grin*

Hubby, on the other hand, had calamari and beer for lunch–went fishing with all the men in the family.

lentils and rice–to get my children to eat them, I need to hide them in large quantities of ketchup. Either “snobby joes” or lentil-rice burgers. Then, we add cucumber chips. Those salty sweet crunchy chemically pickles we buy in bulk at Costco. I made homemade pickles, but to no avail. The Costco chips are the winner.
