I'm a little bored and a little lonely (Someguy's at work and Somekid is out playing).

So what is/was on the supper/dinner menu tonight?

I haven't had supper yet, it is still cooking.  I'm having porkchops with home made coating, potatoes and peas.  I also have a batch of home made granola bars cooling.  I sure hope that they turn out, it is my first try.

   This is a very interesting site. It tells you how long to leave in fridge or cupboard and other interesting things.

What do you make when the days are really hot and muggy?  I know lots of us lose our appetites and don't feel at all like spending time in the kitchen, but you can't have bbq every day -- or can you?

I love potato and pasta salads, but it heats up the kitchen to cook them on the stove top.  Can you successfully microwave pasta?

I'd like to hear what you make and recipes for easy meals that don't require the stove or oven.

I like to pick up a bbq chicken from the store once in awhile.  Lasts for a few meals.

Sometimes I can't believe the food that I used to think of as supper back when I was single and childless. Some examples:  a bag of microwave popcorn, one or two bowls of cereal, a pie (it was a fruit pie), KD, and my absolute favorite Stove Top stuffing and a can of corn.

Come on now, I know that there are Wondercafers that have eaten or are eating things for supper that wouldn't pass muster being served to your parents.  How about it?  And if you don't do it anymore, do you miss it?

An interesting article from Alternet.org about the organic health food industry and who really is running the show.  It is long but well worth the read....

Burt's Bees, Tom's of Maine, Naked Juice: Your Favorite Brands? Take Another Look -- They May Not Be What They Seem

Have you ever been hungry?

No, not the craving for

chocolate or chips

But the stomach roiling,

noisy gut emptiness that comes

from hours and days

without food

your stomach full

of pain

your body shivering, cold

and then alone, you are left with

dull ache, cloudy mind, desolate heart

because a small number have it all

and there are no leftovers for the rest

Have you ever craved justice?

so that each has not

more and more

but just enough

so all are fed

in body

in spirit
