Lessons from the Lunchlady: I only wike gween beggies
I've been kind of off the grid this week. I'm so busy... And now I really don't feel that great.
Anyway, here's what I learned in the cafeteria.
Ask and you shall recieve. When a little kindergartener told me that he would wuv some beggies but he only wiles the gween ones I just had to fill his cup with cucumbers.
PB&J is missing today. So there was a large voluntary peanut butter recall this week. LARGE. if you eat it, you should google it. Anyway, I actually had to destroy Smuckers uncrustables by dumping bleach on them to protect anyone who might be dumpster diving. Um.. If you're eating out of the dumpster aren't you assume a certain amount of risk??
Broccoli dippers vs green beans. It's official. No one likes green beans. If raw broccoli wih a little cup of ranch dip can beat you, than you're pretty pathetic.
Milk... Oh how you vex me. I can't seem to order the right amount of milk to save my life. Just when I think I've got it figured out our breakfast count doubles and all those kiddos take white milk. I was told that if I only offered white milk they'd just keep walking. Um... That, my friends, is not true.
Expect the unexpected. Sometimes you a blessed with student writings declaring that if they were the principal they would demand NO MORE BROCCOLI and other times you get cards thanking you for the awesome Mac and Cheese.

I learned that friends are my true family, and I am a very blessed man :)
oh, yeah I wuv green beans too ;)
Wow! I had heard about a Trader Joe's PB recall; hadn't heard of an even larger one. And, yes, it is ironic that you're required to make dumpster food inedible.
Love the amazingly lifelike drawing of you. Did you really where your orange dress with your red shoes???

Wow! Where'd you get the orange shoes to match your dress? ha ha!
What's with the peanut butter scare? I must be living in a cave!
Some interesting lessons this week. I know I'd take broccoli over green beans too. Beans are just not one of my veggies, but broccoli, totally love it!
This week, in fact yesterday, I learned that my so is more like my husband than I every thought. I guess it's really just his artistic eye, but it just surprised me.
I just love your lessons! I learned that no matter how many emails I send, stating in great detail how something will happen, there will be no less than 3 people tell me that they had do idea what was going on.
Oh I love the card! How sweet! And I better look into this PB recall...
The dress is very fetching. I like green beans, by the way, and no, I hadn't heard about the PB recall. As a regular PB consumer, I must check this out. Thanks for the heads up!
Cool insights. Personally, I like my broccoli cooked at least a little and will skip the raw.
