At the beginning of the school year we had been asked to participate in a school meal program – even though Jenna does not currently attend in our district. At first meals were being delivered on a daily basis. At 9:30 in the morning they would drop off a breakfast and lunch. Now they drop off just once a week. Watching Jenna bring in a grocery bag full of treasures is certainly fun to watch as she is like a kid on Christmas morning. Every bag has included five snack size packages of baby carrots. She enjoys most breakfast and chicken items.
Lately
some of the selections have been weird – well for school cafeteria or with most
children in general I would imagine. She
has received snack size packets of radishes.
What child enjoys radishes? Whole radishes. Jenna and I both thought it was weird.
On Monday most of the items she removed from the bag seemed colder than refrigeration cold. Oh, a frozen bag of clam chowder –
That is not cafeteria normal. We’re not complaining mind you. It’s just . . . unusual. Jenna doesn’t like anything that contains any form of fish although she will eat tuna fish sandwiches on occasion. But NOT clam chowder. Roland and I had some today and enough there for tomorrow. We have several nuggets and at least two chicken patties that Jenna will be eating.
Yesterday Roland and I had a pizza that was not part of the school lunch. I had never tried Amy’s pizza before but the pizza looked good on the box. The pizza looked NOTHING like the picture on the box.
Oh,
wait. It did have mozzarella cheese seen
on the box. The tiny green specks did
not appear to be spinach but perhaps oregano or basil. The pizza was not bad – sort of a tomato Florentine
shall we say. But my mouth was not
satisfied as it was hoping for what my eyes had seen on the box.
I should have added some spinach before I cooked it. After Roland and I had eaten half of it I decided to add the spinach.
