your mission completed: raise up the maize Last week we challenged you to celebrate corn season. From that kernel of an idea, you bit into some interesting dishes. While some of you embraced the perfect simplicity of corn on its own, others tried some amazing new maize ideas. On these pages, Twitter handles are in blue and Instagram in brown. Caryn

Go Go Go! The logistics of lunch often weighs on our minds, perhaps especially when the school year starts anew. Your mission this week is to share a lunch you make or eat on the fly. Show us your packed work lunches, cafeteria meals, the nibble you grab during a day of errands and shopping, and so on. Prove that a quick meal can be a delicious one, too.

Gastroposter Maria Zychowicz suggests a great idea for completing the Lunch on the Go Go Go! mission with her mason jar sushi salad. “Glass jars are the new brown bags,” she says. “This easy, no-roll sushi salad is my lunch on the go, and the jar is just the perfect container. It’s made with usual sushi ingredients, including pickled ginger, wasabi and soy sauce.” If you have some interesting ways to eat your lunch on the go, why not share them with the rest of the Gastropost community as well?
