This is called snacky dinner (or lunch) in my house and it was a lifesaver when I had picky toddlers. It’s also great when it’s hot and humid and nobody wants to actually cook.

"We"? My grandma did

We don't want to be adulting anymore, back to being girls.

Words are rough stones of our culture war. Crude, dull, easily available weapons.

We call these homemade lunchables in my house, and we have it for dinner once every couple of weeks when we can't be bothered to cook or go out. It's basically a cheese board - cheese, crackers, some kind of cured meat, fruit, usually some kind of dip and cut veg.

Aged cheddar, crackers, pre-sliced soppressata, nuts. Maybe hummus and pita. Another easy one is frozen dumplings with gyoza sauce.


Same! 😂

Just had canned dolmas, hummus, cherry tomatoes, and toast. My spouse and I both had it but we’re lesbian, so I guess it counts.
