Day Fourteen: Turkey & Gravy

Today was mashed potatoes with shredded turkey and gravy.  It's one of my favorites, but the lunch line went so slow today! It was well worth the wait.  It came with a roll, and I also got some carrots and ranch :)  While I was waiting patiently for the kids to get their lunch, I heard a few of them say, "I just want ice cream!"  They thought the mashed potatoes were ice cream because they were being served with an ice cream scoop. It was too funny.  I'm not sure how they felt when I told them it was mashed potatoes. 

Day Nine: Oven Baked Chicken with Roasted Potatoes

Wow, are you kidding me?!  I couldn't believe it when I saw the drumstick and potatoes on my plate.  It was like I was eating dinner.  I was impressed, one of the other teachers thought I had brought leftovers for lunch.  The chicken was very good, and the potatoes were good, except I don't enjoy rosemary that much, and they were seasoned with  it.  I also had a side salad with ranch, some carrots, mandarin orange slices, and chocolate milk.  Today's lunch was really good, I'm not sure how much the kids liked eating it though, I'm sure it was a surprise to them.  I'm also betting a lot of chicken got left on the bone! I know I left a lot when I was a kid.  Tomorrow is Friday, so I know it will be pizza again.  Good thing I like pizza!
