    ISO help/tips on cooking with a teenager

    Whenever my sisters kids (aged 11, 14, 15) come for a visit, I always do a "make your own pizza night". I make the dough ahead of time, and let them slap out the dough and choose the toppings.

    Do you really want calorie labels on menus?

    Most major restaurant chains have nutritional data available on request anyway...or posted on their website. Does it really need to be on the menu? Mom and Pop restaurants might have a little more trouble...I guess they'd just have to add up the calories listed on each ingredient.

    Help with a chocolate pie or something for company?
