Keep it Simple- Learn from Apollo 13

Plastic bags, cardboard and duct tape were simple elements used to solve the large and complex problem of getting the crippled Apollo 13 back to earth.  Dinnertime is the simple element which could and should be used in everyone's day to solve many of our country's complex problems.  As NASA Flight Director Eugene Kranz said: "Okay,people!  Listen up!... From this moment on we are improvising a new mission..."  Start a cooking co-op ASAP as your new mission to ensure 4 or more mealtimes with family/ friends every week, every season, seated at your table, at home, TV off.  The magic of the dinner table has worked throughout history.  Start this summer by exchanging a main meal such as chicken pot pie, chicken caesar salad, hamburgers with all the fixings etc.  Remember 4 families work best.  Order my video and you will see how it all works.   Then in the fall, fill in the main dish with 2 sides.  Work your own ingenuity and dinnertime engineering to solve life's problems.
