Some who read these words were once little, playing mindlessly without camps and projects through a lazy summer that ended after Labor Day. Not so these days, when an action-filled summer ended for many local students this week. The lunch menu now includes lunchbox-size treats, but the cook still is at work morning and night.

Some of this week’s recipes may help.

But also on the agenda are this week’s requests: ideas for using cotija and queso fresco cheeses in recipes, where to purchase such cheese and favorite pressure cooker recipes. The man who makes these requests remains anonymous, at least for the time being.

Since we couldn’t tell the whole name from the sender’s email address, we will simply sign the recipe that follows with the initials R.W. Mr. or Ms. R.W wrote: “Thanks for your column each week, and thanks today for the reminder of a great salad recipe I discovered years ago in Celia Marks’ ‘Come Into My Kitchen.’ Hadn’t thought about it in ages; plan to make it today; it comes straight from her treasured 1969 cookbook.”
