Back during the holidays, Gal Smiley made her own lunch and was pretty proud of the care she took “plating” it (I should mention that Sir Monkeypants had a major hand in it by cutting the cheese into artful triangles). That led to a discussion of food bloggers and what they do, and she thought that was pretty cool, and asked if I would photograph her lunch and blog it.
So I present to you, Gal Smiley’s first ever foodie blog post – Ham and Cheese with Crackers, Juice with Umbrella. Featured on page 3 of her new cookbook, “The Best Snaks.” (Cooking: yes, Spelling: no.)

Ah, like mother like daughter! Careful, she’ll be on to pies next!
That’s my kind of lunch! I’ve never been a fan of sandwiches so my mom would make me a “plate” for lunch – cheese, crackers, hard boiled egg, carrots, lunch meat etc. I do it for my own kids now sometimes and we call it “itses and bitses”.
Sir Monkeypants likes to call it “hodge podge.” My favourite kind of lunch, too!
that’s so cute. before you know it she will be whipping up reductions, roulades & amuse- bouche for the family ;
Every drink is better with an umbrella in it. Good job, Gal!
Adorable!
Move over Gwyneth Paltrow!
