Starting with a sandwich

January 19, 2010
Test lunch #1

Tasters: Lisa and Mr. H

Menu:
Egg salad sandwich on homemade bread
Carrot and celery sticks
Cubed kiwi and mandarin sections
Chocolate Chip Cookie

Recipes, notes and feedback:

Egg Salad: 4 hardboiled eggs from our hens, 2T mayo, 1T chopped green onion, 2T finely chopped celery, 1/2t dijon, 1/2t mustard, 1T lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Egg salad needed more salt and pepper, sandwich needed lettuce/sprouts/excitement, most folks don't like/want egg salad, eggs should be chopped smaller

Bread: this recipe
Large loaf should have cooked 30 rather than 25 minutes, was a touch soggy.

Carrot and celery: boring but acceptable and seemed healthy. Should have used farmers' market carrots. Maybe include dip?

Cubed kiwi and mandarin: very popular

Chocolate chip cookie: Ina's recipe. How could that go wrong? It didn't.

Other accomplishments:
Made my first lunch!
Made two, lined lunch bags.
Purchased some reusable containers

Goals for next week:
Better menu planning (before farmers' market)
Remember to include silverware!
Make cloth napkins to include
Layout menu attachment for binder clip
