With my new relaxed summertime posting schedule, I realized that I actually forgot do a Friday Buffet last week! An unprecedented lapse in over a year of blogging! (And I’m sure you all were lying awake last Friday wondering about it. . . . You were, right? . . . Anyone? . . . [crickets])
Anyway, just a few small items to round out the week:
Jamie Oliver Season Finale Tonight
If you’re part of the TLT Watch Party, be sure to catch the season finale of “Food Revolution” tonight at 9pm EST on ABC. I’ll have my usual recap and review up on Monday. And then, mercifully, there will be no pressing need to talk about school food reform for a while, a subject that I find fascinating but more than a little taxing lately. ;-)
TLT Summer Book Club – I Haven’t Forgotten!
The poll results are in and “food literature/memoir” is the winning genre for the book we’ll be reading together this summer. I’ll round up some good titles in that category and post them in another poll next week so we can make a final selection, and then we can start reading. I’m secretly relieved that “food policy” and “school food reform” didn’t make the cut — just not as fun to read on the porch with a glass of lemonade, you know?
Some New Faces (Er, Voices) on The Lunch Tray
One aspect of my plan to relax a little this summer is offering more space to guest bloggers on The Lunch Tray in the coming weeks. We had a great guest post today from Consume This First‘s Cat Delett, another one coming next week from Kia at Today I Ate a Rainbow, and more guest posts in the pipeline. I hope you enjoy hearing new voices and perspectives on the blog as much as I do!
Have a great weekend everyone! More Lunch Tray on Monday . . .
Get Your Lunch Delivered and never miss another Lunch Tray post! Just “Like” TLT’s Facebook page or “Follow” on Twitter and you’ll also get bonus commentary, interesting kid-and-food links, discussion with other readers AND you’ll be showing TLT some love. ♥♥♥ So what are you waiting for?

Bettina – you mean no more school lunch reform debates? Whatever shall I do? I am already beginning to feel the withdrawal symptoms kicking in…
Anyway, my latest (and last?) post on the season (and series?) finale of Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution has been posted over at the Chronicle’s Tubular blog (http://blog.chron.com/tubular/2011/06/jamie-oliver’s-food-revolution-dont-cry-for-me-angelenos/). I hope you all enjoy reading it, and I have really enjoyed getting to know you (and your viewpoints on the subject) during these past months.

Ed – it was so great having you here and I hope you’ll continue to comment on TLT — you have a colorful way of putting things . . . LOL!
Bettina – is there some reason you closed comments on your post on the finale of JO’s Food Revolution? I do have some comments (totally respectful, of course.)
~EdT.
Ed – I didn’t close comments – I don’t even know how to do that!
Will investigate!
Should be fixed now.
