Today was either Breaded Fish Nuggets with Green Beans, or Macaroni Au Gratin with potato wedges!! Hmmm…I can tell you, a whole lot of students were not choosing the green beans!! Fish Nuggets first…
Finally, green on the tray!
Good ol’ Mac and Cheese…. a little carb heavy today….
Yes, those are potato slices, not apple slices. Or I should say potato wedges.
Playing with food…
It’s going to take a long time to eat it like this!
mmmm….that was good!
Strawberry Cup!
Sliced Pepperoni Pizza (of course!) and Vegetarian Sweet and Sour with Brown Rice. But only one entree again today…and guess which one?!…..pizza!
folded….
Frozen Chocolate Cup….
non dairy delight!
oops!
chocolate pools
fun with grapes…
Deli Turkey Submarine was scheduled to appear today, but was a no show! The only choice was my favorite…Deluxe Meat and Cheese Sauce!
A layer of cheese skin has formed…
Maybe this is a bit healthier….
A smile says it all….especially when it is made with ketchup!
Glad to see kids making their meals fun! I’ll have the burger with a side of Froot Loops please….
I just found this tray all by itself. Where did the eater go? I guess they had to leave in mid squeeze!
Our weekly toasted cheese…
Yikes! What????
Deconstructed pepperoni pizza…. I kid you not, I saw a little kinder student eating their pizza after they tore it up into little bite size morsels!
One of our teachers brought these two older lunchboxes to show me, since I too, use a metal lunchbox to bring my food. But mine aren’t nearly as cool as these….
It’s Green Bay vs Chicago!! In nice shape! Embossed pictures with all the NFL team logos around the sides!
check this out….
orbital food container…awesome!!
look at the inside of the top cover….safety instructions!! so cool….like any kid would really ever read them!
does anyone remember this show???
Thank you for sharing, Mr. Power!
The menu reads “Cafe LA Chicken and Cheese Enchilada, Bean and Cheese Burrito” but there was no Chicken Enchiladas today! I wonder if they know that in advance or if they have to decide at the last minute to not serve something?! Well…. here is the Bean and Cheese Burrito in all it’s glory….
not so pretty…
notice the size of the baggie of hot cheetos in comparison to the burrito….
not sure if this was a leak or on purpose?!
one of my students wanted to show me how he poked the straw right through the eye of the cow…..only from a six year old 🙂
Parmesan Lasagna and Toasted Cheese Sandwich and PB & J, three things on the menu. Ohhh…the Parmesan Lasagna is new….looks kind of like the frozen entrees from the grocery store…doesn’t look too bad…
I love to photograph the Toasted Cheese Sandwich!
PB&J…
fun with fruit….
with hot cheetos…
Today was Beef Chalupa and Bean and Cheese Burrito. I think chalupa means small boat.
Bean and cheesy burrito…
sweet and savory…
it was a cold and drizzly day…and they were serving these fruit ice triangles…brrrr…
they were also serving oranges that were sliced and served in plastic cups….very wasteful…could have just served it on the tray.
Looking forward to tomorrow….supposed to be Coffee Cake day!!!!
Ok…I must veer away from the topic of lunch for one moment, because today they had LAUSD or, pardon me, Cafe LA Signature Coffee Cake! This is, by far, the best thing that has come out of our cafeteria and yes, they do bake it on the premises!! It has that really yummy, buttery, sugary topping…nom nom!
back to lunch, which was not too exciting today…Italian Calzone with Turkey Pepperoni and PB & J Uncrustables….
Clam chowder was the soup du jour for the teachers…it’s pretty tasty!
I was told that the cantalope that they were serving today may have been past it’s prime….lots of kids getting sick….hmmm?!…when melons go bad….
Whatever it is…ketchup or catsup….kids sure love it on most everything…and that would definitely include the Breaded Chicken Patty Sandwich today! It was supposed to be Spaghetti & Meatballs! The Yogurt Trio Plate was there, as promised on the menu!
this sandwich makes me happy…
Oh, the poor Yogurt Trio Plate….nobody really likes it…it’s hardly ever chosen…:-(
broccoli with a side of ranch dressing….
more tasty goodness…
kids like to inflate the milk bags….
