Geography 101: Steak Your Claim

Today was one of the rare lucky days when we get served steak. We even get to grill our own meat, so we can prepare it just how we like it. (In my case, that means medium-well.)

With about 120 steaks getting grilled at the same time, the cafeteria gets pretty smoky, but that's part of the fun.

Also, since only half of the students, the high- schoolers, got steak today (the junior-high kids get theirs tomorrow, for whatever reason), the other half of the kids had to sit there, jealously looking over at us lucky ones while eating their less-than-comparable meals. (You'll see what I mean tomorrow.) Sure, some students don't like meat, but they are in the great minority, along with the Japanese who don't like rice.

Anyway, as I've grown to expect from the cafeteria food, just because the main dish is great doesn't mean the rest of the food will be worth a lick. Just check out that meager-looking salad, for instance. Oh, and what's up with that ridiculous excuse for a soup? Give me break.

Yeah, so even though I'm lovin' the steak, the lunch lady blew it with the sides, so even this meal won't score too high. Ugh!

Anyway, since there was some extra steak, I was able to get seconds, which was awesome, even if my share was just a half!

Check it out, too: My first steak looks like Afghanistan (or a backward Iran) and my second steak looks just like the United States!

Holy cow!

(Should I have sold them on eBay?)

Total points: 7 (strictly based on the steak)
