That does sound rough. A++
Iffin’ you wash your hands. A++
Too much risk of a brawl. A++
Perfect.A+++
Because "Tiffin at Breakfasties" didn't sound quite right ....
LOL A+++
Good morning - hope your Thanksgiving was a happy one!
It was. Good morning to you.
But over the years it became cheaper to buy from Sysco the premade dishes that just had to be heated. When my daughter was in elementary school the district built on a brand new kitchen and as PTA members we were given a tour - big ovens for reheating the chicken nuggets or potato wedges that the kids didn't like. Roasted potatoes in place of tater tots didn't go over well. I saw lunches, even back then, just going into the trash.
But the new restrictions are unreal - the photos look like mush or so meager I can't imagine a teenage boy having that meal for lunch.
School lunches have always been
More like food for your pets-
But Michelle’s idea of tiffin
Is about as bad as it gets
Canned veggies, mystery meat
Cooked beyond a positive ID
With instant mashed potatoes
And packaged bread for free
That unhealthy, meager mess
Is only for your kid’s platter
What she and her offspring eat
Just makes her big butt fatter...
School lunches have always been too heavy on the starch/grain-mostly because of that stupid and wrong food pyramid-that plate isn’t much better. But at least they really used to cook in the cafeteria kitchen-I liked the meatloaf, too...
My mom packed our lunches of real food, except on the days the menu offered something we liked-I did the same for my cub. I loved egg sandwiches best-a seasoned poached or fried egg on whole wheat toast-usually with some raw veggies and an apple or a tangerine from my grandmother’s trees.
Thunder thigh’s idea of “lunch” is a new low, though-not only processed and unhealthy food, but damned little of it.
My mom dragged me to that movie-she always took me to a mo9vie on Saturday afternoon as part of our mom-and-daughter time. She seemed to enjoy that movie, but I thought Holly was insipid and a bit unhinged-I was not a big fan of Hepburn...
‘Never got to be much of a movie buff – the Abbot didn’t let us out of the monastery very often in those days ;-)
From what I have seen, A.H. always struck me as a class act; but to each his/her own, I guess ...
I’ve never paid all that much attention to who actors were-just the usual cursory interest in scandals, so I don’t know if she was class or not. I just didn’t relate to the characters she played-they always seemed limp-I’ve always liked strong, assertive female characters.
Were you able to sneak past the abbot now and then?
I’m going to take the bid I just finished to the customer-they are impressed enough to want it now, so maybe I can give the contractor an edge on getting the job-back later...
Sorry if I missed some aspects of the discussion on your bid, but good luck with the proposal.
But check out those toned arms. /s
A+++ Excellent.
