hungryyyyy?! hungry jack! they gobble 'em up and the plate comes back...

mom, please for the 6th grade potluck tonight don't bring any weird food like that time you packed me those yummy brownies you make with the greek yogurt and walnuts mixed in. my friends now think you are the sort of mom who would hide carrots in their kids' cookies or brussels sprouts in their apple pie.

i wanted to come back with an alice b. toklas remark but restrained myself.

so, for the 6th grade potluck tonight we'll bring a couple dozen vietnamese spring rolls - rice paper skins around steamed tofu, glass noodles, bean sprouts, cilantro, lettuce and mint with exactly zero chocolate chips or reese's pieces hidden inside. peanut/plum sauce optional, of course.

soup's on, little travis academy and vanguard 6th grade food police. eat up.
