Blogging from the School Cafeteria

I have a new favorite blog to share this week. A 9 year old girl in Scotland blogs each school day about her mid-day meal in the school cafeteria. She posts a photo of her plate and a brief review of the meal du jour.

Included in each post are a list of categories she describes, as:
Food-o-meter- Out of 10 a rank of how great my lunch was!
Mouthfuls- How else can we judge portion size!
Courses- Starter/main or main/dessert
Health Rating- Out of 10, can healthy foods top the food-o-meter?
Price- Currently £2 I think, its all done on a cashless catering card
Pieces of hair- It wont happen, will it?

As you can imagine, it has attracted a large audience, including the hungry media.  Please click here to visit NeverSeconds.

A Cautionary Tale of a Reusable Grocery Bag

Miss Phage loves to be green. She happily carries reusable shopping bags.  She even collects the prettier ones.  But, truth be told, she uses them to tote just about everything except food from the grocery store or farmer's market. For transporting raw and uncooked food, Miss Phage is a little squeamish about re-using these bags.

Miss Phage is sharing this news story with her dear readers who thoughtfully carry their tote bags and adding a note of caution. Regularly clean your bags in the washing machine, or wipe them down, inside and out, with a diluted bleach solution.
