Your (usual) clues: Milk instead of my yogurt drink; a straw for the milk; a plate for my bread; and a fork instead of just a spoon.
The reason for those "mistakes?"
Whenever we have a family meal, my "sons" get my food for me.
As for the food, well, as always I dipped my bread into the "soup" of the main dish, so that I could give it some flavor. (Once in a while, when we are served bread, it actually comes with a spread, but more often than not it doesn't.)
After I finished my bread, I scooped out the bits of meat (pork?), potatoes, and carrot from the main dish, because they seemed pretty edible, and then gave away the rest.
I did eat my salad, and, thanks to the cheese, but no thanks to the cucumber, I actually enjoyed it. Oh, and you probably already know that I gave away the two pieces of ham that were in there.
(My family's "father," Mr. S., proudly pointed out that his salad had no bits of ham in it, although that was pure coincidence, so I told him that I usually try to grab salads that are ham-free. His funny response: "You need to do a better job of that.")Anyway, all that was left was the dessert, which was, according to the menu, "chocolate pudding."
Indeed, it was made of chocolate, but I wouldn't exactly call it pudding. It was more like, "chocolate surprise."
Since I noticed that some of the kids actually had a strawberry "pudding," and since I was in no mood to be surprised, I traded my chocolate version in for the strawberry. (Luckily, I noticed that there were some leftovers, so I was able to pull the switch.)
Good move. The dessert went from probably not being very good to being very good indeed!
Although the meal overall was pretty much a disaster, the dessert saved the day.
The only thing about that was, it came one day early.
Lunch Lady: Valentine's Day (not St. Valentine's Day, as they love to call it here in Japan) is on February 14, not February 13.
Got it?
