Today we had somewhat different lunches. It was beans (K)/bean soup (me), green beans with ketchup/asparagus with no dip ’cause I forgot mine, one slice buttered WW bread, 1/2 banana. K liked her lunch; I discovered that if you pack half a banana and a cup of asparagus together, you will get both asparagus-tasting banana and banana-tasting asparagus, both of which are unspeakably foul. To make up for it, I treated myself to a diet Coke from the Deli.
No lunch tomorrow; we’re going to Subway! (That is my one regret about K staying for lunch at school; we’ve eaten lunch at Subway once a week since I was first pregnant with her and the only thing I could keep down was their VeggieMax subs. Now we all eat lunch alone, and that’s kinda sad.)
Hm. Apparently half an hour “isn’t long enough” to eat more than three green beans and four raisins. I may call the teachers, but I always hesitate to do that. I always feel like when I ask, “what’s going on with X” they hear, “why aren’t you doing something about X!” and I never can find a way to phrase it that can’t be misinterpreted. This could just be me, however. I never know.
Maybe I’ll get Aaron to call.
Anyway, today’s lunch: Cowboy Food (chili and cornbread), green beans (w/ketchup) and orange raisin salad, yum. Eaten, the aforementioned three green beans and four raisins, although everything else was devoured after school, so it’s not the food… I don’t know what it is.
I’ve gotta say, it’s nice to have a fridge again.
Still no fridge. Today’s lunch: rice, beans, blueberries, beets. She did eat everything, so at least that’s good. I cleverly left my lunch at home, so I had hummus veggie sandwich combo. And then I went 2-for-2 by leaving the extra hummus I bought at work! ARGH. Tomorrow’s lunch will be rice pilaf and fruit. Stupid refrigeration.
The last of the refrigerated food. Butterbread, cheese stick, peas(K)/broccoli and carrots(me), large cup of thawed frozen strawberries.
Eaten - everything except 1/2 the peas and a small crust of bread. Not too bad. Not a very good lunch, though. (It’s not easy when you don’t have modern food-fresh-keeping techniques.)
So… not a hit. Butterbread, string cheese, candied squash (for a given value of ‘candied’ which is probably pretty far from what you’re thinking if you’ve ever eaten those horrible canned yams), banana. Eaten: bread, cheese. One half of a banana peeled, claims of bite taken, disbelieved.
One half banana
Peeled, flesh bare, smallest of mice
Nibbles claimed, unseen
Sorry, it’s been that kind of day.
