  • Big Pile of Roasted Vegetables.

    Buy a bag of potatoes or other cheap vegetables. Peel (if needed) and chop into bite-sized chunks. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast at 400°F. Check for doneness/brownness after 30 minutes, and 10 minute increments if they need longer.

    Hits all the notes of cheap, easy, tasty, healthy, and filling. Toss with more spices if you want, or add more sauces after. My current favorite is just potatoes with hot honey. You can improve the texture of potatoes by par-boiling them, then tossing them to rough up the exterior so they end up way crispier after roasting.













  • Close! You’re confusing Luke 18:15-17 for one of the Beatitudes.

    "15 One day some parents brought their little children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them. But when the disciples saw this, they scolded the parents for bothering him.

    16 Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. 17 I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”"



  • Coffee shops (but who hangs out there?)

    Growing up during the Starbucks boom, coffee shops were absolutely a place to hang out after school. There was probably one a short walk or drive from school, and for less than $5 you could grab a sugary drink or a pastry and hang out in a comfortable indoor space with a few friends. Heck, one of your friends probably worked there. It worked great for high schoolers because there wasn’t any alcohol (so minors could be there), you didn’t have to be as quiet as a library, and you could head there regardless of the weather. COVID has probably changed a lot of that as coffee shops focus more on drive throughs and mobile orders, not to mention inflation.
