  1. I realize there are various positions on the parenting aspects of my question, and I assure you I have considered them. But assuming I am wedded to the idea of offering a better alternative, I'm still hoping to get some great ideas.

    Oh, I have no doubt you are wedded to your idea of a building a better cold pizza or its alternative. I'm only offering my perspective as the sister of three boys and the mother of three boys. Believe me: boys will be boys. The day will come when you'll thank your stars it's only cold pizza he wants. In the meantime, I like your idea of foccacia with cheese and a pizza-type sauce. Does he like olives?

  2. I think the stumbling block here is that he wants to eat cold pizza with the boys. You want to show him that there's something better but if it doesn't look something like what his buddies are having, it probably isn't going to do the trick no matter how tasty.

    That's what I was driving at, too. He wants to be like the other boys.

  3. You could do some kind of crusty rolls with a soft cheese like meunster or fontina. The lunches are not refrigerated, yes? It'll soften up for him by lunch time.

  4. Are there microwave ovens at his school or is that out of the question? Soft breadsticks, cheese sauce in one container and pizza sauce in another flashed for a minute might do the trick.

  5. Now, see here. You are thinking of what youlike, not what PJ, lover of cold grilled cheese likes. Embrace the challenge and be glad he is an adventerous eater the rest of the time. He wants to be like his little friends now.

  6. Pizza has a half life of about one week when sitting out on the kitchen counter. At least it did when I was in college and my college attending son says this is still true. Send the kid a slice of your homemade pizza and be a hero, Steven.

  7. So do HIV positive moms not breast feed their children? I didn't realize that was the case (but I didn't do any research). Either way, I think transferring of the virus via breast milk into custard cooked and ingested by another person would have to be damn close to zero if not zero.

    It is funny this topic came up because I know a new mom and she was wondering what to do with the leftover milk and drinking it crossed her mind. Not everybody thinks it is taboo.

    HIV positive moms are discouraged from breastfeeding their infants. It is not only the virus that is of concern, it is the drugs that are used to treat the virus. This is an area that is under research at the moment, but there is an issue of the child developing a resistance to the drugs used to treat HIV if they are ingested in the mother's breast milk.

    As to your friend, what Jaymes said. Tell her to freeze it, save it and have someone else bottle feed it to baby. That way she will actually be able to get out to get her hair cut or shop without dad calling her every two minutes about the screaming, starving baby. This doesn't always work, though. My youngest wanted the real thing and had lungs of steel. He's rather scream himself sick than take a bottle.

  8. Walking through the busy kitchen of Oklahoma City's newest Chick-fil-A restaurant at Memorial Road and Pennsylvania Avenue, Dan Cathy, president and chief operating officer of the Atlanta-based fast-food chain, demonstrates how to make an Icedream cone. He chats with a customer and recommends honey mustard as a dip for his sandwich, bringing the patron the sauce himself. In other words, he doesn't shy away from restaurant work of any kind.

  9. Yes, annabelle does have scientific information about HIV since she is a clinical laboratory technician. If you want to take your information from wikipedia or other pedestrian sources, go right ahead. And there is no need for you to ask a question of this board and then turn around and lecture others when their responses are not to your liking. If you have read thouroughly, I never said that your family member has HIV.

    Many women on this board have breastfed their children, myself included, and have merely stated our opinions that it is out of bounds to consider using breast milk for novelty purposes. No one is stopping you from doing so. As for milk banks, they are for at risk infants and not adults who are seeking a new flavor experience.

  10. Add me to those who do not love basil and cannot see what all the fuss is about with pesto. Yech. I just reread my first post on this thread and I meant to suggest that you use your usual and try the clam juice or clamato with it in lieu of wine and squeeze some lemon over it, as well. I also don't like to cook with wine, either, since one of my boys gripes whenever I do.

  11. Add a bottle of clam juice or Clamato and reduce it a bit before you toss in the clams. Or give the clams a rough chop and toss them in some cream of potato soup with bacon scattered on top for a quick chowder.
