[recipe] Cucumber Wraps & a story...

[Guest guest]

My daughter got in trouble for dressing too outrageously

punk-rock to school and had so many write-ups over it that

for the last 2 weeks of her 8th grade year she was forced

to leave school 1/2 days. Well, i thought they were just being

intolerant idiots that were denying her right to be an individual

[that's how i raise both my kids].... so i made her 1/2 days a

celebration by packing fab-veggie picnic lunches. This wrap

was one of our favs.

She is 15 years old now but still has fond memories of all the

easy recipes we tried together from out of this little

kids cook cookbook trio we had given to us by my Grams.

Rock on!

Oh Beautiful for smoggy skies, insecticided grain,

For strip-mined mountain's majesty above the asphalt plain.

America, America, man sheds his waste on thee,

And hides the pines with billboard signs, from sea to oily sea.
