Biking and the Naked Chef

Flipping through tv channels while riding my bike (on the trainer), I found a show on TLC about Jamie Oliver's quest to reform British school lunch programs. While I think it happened a year ago or so, it's fun to get to see some of the tape for myself. The kids are cute. Yay for a fun show on Monday nights! Better yet, it's only four episodes long, so I won't watch too much tv. And yay for fun accents.

I went through a phase in college where I totally wanted to be a chef who revamped school lunch programs. Even before Jamie Oliver. It started when I read Food Politics, then learned about the Edible Schoolyard program, Jesse Alper (son of Noah, as in the bagel), and about difficulties regarding access to fresh, quality produce in inner cities. Then, like pretty much everything else I do, I lost steam. I would still love to play with vegetables though.
