School Lunch

Last Thursday, I enjoyed eating lunch with my son at his school. I had wanted to do this for some time but had worked to find a day when my schedule would allow me to eat a school lunch on Pizza Day.

Interesting thing. School pizza, rectangle and all, is just as you remember it. But pizza was just the main course of the meal. I enjoyed my rectangle cheese pizza with a side order of mashed potatoes, cheesy broccoli and cantaloupe. I topped it off with a chocolate milk. For the record, I usually would not eat mashed potatoes and broccoli with pizza. As it turns out, once you worked through the thin layer of film on the scoop of potatoes, they were actually quite tasty. Same goes for the broccoli.

Two other items of note:
1. School lunch for an adult now costs $3.75.
2. My son eats lunch each day at 10:35! But, hey, to eat lunch at school with my son and to get to eat rectangle-shaped school pizza, you do what you have to do.
