Yes, I used to formulate menus for cookbooks when I was Associate Editor at The Foodie Monthly.

They tended to be more elaborate, though, and often . . . better-balanced than what one might come up with for a Friday night in front of a computer screen.

Appetizer
The last quarter of yesterday's ham-and-cheese sandwich, eaten rather furtively in the car on the way home

Main Course
Rice Krispies, consumed on the couch with a laptop right behind it, propped up with a pillow

Side Dish
Cheese-Danish-style Coffee Cake

Salad
Fritos, which really do contain corn, and therefore must have some nutrients; please? O sweet my reader; cast me not away!

Beverage
Red table wine

Dessert
An extra glass of that red table wine, which contains Valuable Antioxidants

One could argue that my standards have fallen just a little over the past six years; I believe I've merely learned to think outside the culinary box.
