Yum!

The Hispanic families at Highland always prepare and host a traditional meal for all staff.  It was delicious!  there were many different sauces, lots of cilantro, homemade refried beans, gorditos, soupa, burritos, tostados, ensaladas, and two different kinds of tamales.

I couldn't try everything but I did make a vegetarian plate of nachos with the refried beans, lettuce, and guacomole.  One of the sauces with cilantro was spicy and delicious!

Leftovers

I ate a bowl of brown rice today for lunch.  It was the only thing I could grab quickly out of the refrigerator.
It was good and I chewed slowly but I'd like a piece of chocolate now.  If I had one, but I don't.

Boring...

I always manage to plan meals for dinner, but rarely have enough leftovers for myself for lunch. Aaron takes some (better than paying for takeout every day), but I'm usually left searching the fridge. Today was hummus and carrots. Not fulling and really boring, but that's what there was! Time to go grocery shopping...

Working At The Preschool Lunch

Lunch today was just sad. I was working my co-op shift, with both kids (the 3 year old who attends the co-op and the 18 month old who rides along). My older daughter pulled her pink lunchbox from her cubby and we pulled out everything I had put in there: 2 sun-butter-and-honey sandwiches, 2 lemon yogurts, 1 Odwalla snack bar that I thought would be sufficiently gross that neither kid would want it, and some crackers, which for some reason are like cigarettes in jail for these kids. I ate bites of everything in between referee-ing their manic lunch eating, which involved dancing, growling like baby lions, and flinging yogurt hither and yon. And they BOTH wanted the gross snack bar. By the end of it I actually had yogurt in my hair. And somehow managed to NOT make the salty jokes on that subject that I was tempted to make. Appropriate for once!!!!

Fruits and Grains

Work has been crazy busy, making me work and eat at the same time so today I ate a banana and a peanut butter oatmeal bar.  It did the job though and I was able to keep working right through until 4:00!
