Jan Eliot's funny and irreverent Stone Soup follows the saga of an extended, blended family, starring two working-mom sisters living just across the fence from each other. Val and Joan share life with their opinionated mother, a middle-school diva and 10-year-old tomboy, a reclusive teenage boy, a wild preschooler and his new baby sister...and of course Wally, the ultimate nice guy who steps into his stepdad shoes with grace amid the chaos. Working-parent hassles, pre-school tantrums, middle-school angst, love and the single mom... it's all here in Stone Soup.

Having been a working mom with school age children, my response to these ungrateful teenagers would be, “If you don’t like the lunch I make, please feel free to MAKE IT YOURSELF!”

I don’t know that they’re complaining so much as qualifying the origin of the sandwich. One does not want ones schoolmates under the impression one was raised on chili waffles and pork rinds for breakfast.

Aren’t these kids old enough to make their own lunches?!

Sounds perfectly serviceable to me.

Baloney on an English muffin sounds like the best option so far.

These aren’t little kids they are middle schoolers at least.
I made my daughter’s lunch in elementary school–and I still make her little sister’s lunch.
But at almost 14 (I’m ALMOST a grown up, Mom) she can make her own lunch or eat school lunch!

When my dad was still home my older brothers only got to buy the school lunch once a week and take sack lunches the rest of the week. But after he left just as I was entering Jr. High where you could get school lunches I got to have the school lunch every day since my mom didn’t have time to make me one. I guess there was one advantage to his leaving but that would be the only one.

Once when I was in the 2nd or 3rd grade, I wanted to have my favorite beverage with my lunch. So I poured some cold milk and 2 heaping spoons of Quik into my Barbie thermos.
Well, this was in South Texas and my lunchbox sat in my cubby in a classroom without a/c until lunchtime.
So… don’t ever try that kiddies.

This assumes, of course, that the house has reasonable ingredients to work with. My house often didn’t. Thus the mad scramble for whatever surfaced, no matter WHO made the lunch.

When my son was this age, I wanted to make lunch, but buying lunch at school was way cooler. The baloney on the english muffin sounds pretty good.

Fenyugreek Tubbsbottl how sweet of you to say. This was many years ago when I was a teenager, my dad died a couple years ago but I know where he is and I will see him again!
