Lunch lady

First off, if you are this gal, don’t read.

Second of all, if you are said gal, I not only know you’ll read this, but know you’ll rejoice in the mere fact that we are about to discuss your baby shower.

Because you are about to become a mother.

(Insert shout of glee.)

But we’ve got bigger issues to deal with right now than the best way to swaddle or crying it out v. cuddling it out. Because we must discuss the food to be served at said shower, which I will be flying into town to attend.

A little background: This gal is a school teacher. And while she will be retiring from her honorable profession to become a full-time mother/mentor, I think we should pay tribute to her former career.

So I’m contemplating a “School Lunch” menu theme.

But I need your help. I want to turn typical school lunch items into bold brunch fare.

Think macaroni and cheese but made with Gouda, rolled into Panko-crusted balls and lightly fried.

All served on a divider plate, of course. (With gourmet juice boxes, perhaps?)

But my lil’ noggin’ is too pooped to ponder all the pb&j possibilities.

So do share with me some of your ideas.

And if you don’t have any, get some.

And if you can’t get any, then at least tell me whether or not you packed a lunch or loved lil’ smokey links day.

As for me, I lived for French bread pizza day.

Hmmm … some prosciutto, maybe a pesto sauce …
