NOW that we're near-
ly into September,
families everywhere
are switching from
summertime to back-
to-class time, right
along with teachers,
instructors, custodi-
ans, administrators
and professors.

Even those with no
apparent tes to the ¢duca-
tion system go through a
change as September rolls
around, with clubs starting
up regular mectings again,
associations gathering mem-
bers together, and the main-
stream vacation period of
the year over.

Beaches look more
deserted, ice cream parlours
consider closing for the sea-
son, and hot dog carts fold
up their wings.

Food-wise, many people
start to use the oven and
stove inside more than the
barbecue as the weather
cools off.

And, it's the start of the
dreaded return to ftunchbox
lunches.

Cheer up, though.

Lunches don’t always
have to be boring.

chocolate chips to your

that without causing that
versatile dough to refuse to
rise to the occasion.
