Yes, that is a paper plate--at our family reunion we do run out of the real thing! Chipotle Pork from the April 2012 Cooking Light, with the Grilled Corn Poblano and Black Bean Salad from the July 2012 Cooking Light. And we did a reprise of the Pasta Salad with Melon Pancetta and Ricotta Salata from the August 2012 Bon Appétit. The pork gets a 4 (it really wants to be part of something like a sandwich or an enchilada), and the corn salad gets a 3--it needs more salt if you are going to use no added salt black beans. The pasta salad still gets a 5!  Dessert was strawberries and fresh Colorado peaches, with a little sugar added.
