The school librarian, who was a student at the school a few classes a head of me, told me to avoid the pizza.

Katie, yep, those are corn dogs! Worse than hot dogs for the health, but I still think they taste so darn good.

Gill, in middle school I used to love those mayo-soaked turkey sandwiches on French bread. Mmm. I’ll FedEx one to NOLA so you can reschool yourself in mayonnaise eating.

Are those CORN DOGS they’re serving at lunch in the top picture?! Oh my, Baby O is going to have to take brown bag lunches to school…

At my school we used to get pizza, too, with the inch thick crust and too much tomato sauce. Ew.

Oh, this takes me back all right! I remember looking forward to pizza Fridays all week! It was one of the few days I would get hot lunch instead of eating the healthy bag lunches little Mom would prepare for me. I’m glad to see there are at least some healthy options. I’m really interested to see what the choices are when you get to junior high– I recall greasy pizza, sandwiches soaked in mayo (that might be where my hatred began) and bowls of tots (which I ate wayyy too often).

Thank you! Eating lunch with dozens of kids certainly engages all the senses, all at once. Hope the description brought you back to those days of chicken nuggets and wilted iceberg salad.

Now that I’ve read the rest of the article, I have to comment on that last paragraph: it is great writing- calm, observant, wry, sensual (as in you were using all your senses!) and so connected to the reader. Excellent.

“Method lunching”- as in method acting? Clever.
