189 And Done!

I really wanted to go out with a bang, but that was simply asking too much. Indeed, this was mostly just another give-away meal.

The giveaways included both the main dish (that slop in the bowl on the right) and the soup. As usual, HVC was happy to take the food off of my hands.

At least I had rice to eat, and at least it wasn't plain rice. This time it was "gomoku sushi" (五目寿司), which is basically sushi rice (rice with that vinegary flavor) plus a bunch of other ingredients.

The rice was fine, but all I remember tasting was the vinegar.

I guess I'd have to say the best part of this meal was, yet again, the dessert.

What surprised me the most about the dessert was that we were allowed to take a second strawberry-flavored crepe before we even sat down to eat. I probably should have passed, but when it comes to desserts, I have a hard time saying "No."

I even got a third (!) crepe, when, after I jokingly grabbed one off of a student's tray, he said I really could have it, since he didn't like the crepes, anyway.

Score!

Crazily, all three girls I was sitting with gave me their crepes, too, because they were in a hurry and didn't think they'd have time to finish their food.

If I had been like HVC, I could have had a record(?) six(!) crepes, but there's only one HVC, so instead of pigging out, I gave the extra 3 crepes away.

The next-best thing about this meal was the pineapple juice that I got.

I'm so glad that over the course of this year I went from giving away my milk every day, to getting a grape(?!)-flavored yogurt every day, to getting a variety of beverages to drink over the last few days, because variety is the spice of life.

And so ends a year of Gokase School Lunches. You know you miss it!

Total points: 5

Note: This is the 189th and final school lunch of the year. Although I will continue to take pictures of my school lunches until I leave this school, I would like to advise all of my loyal readers that I have decided to retire this blog. On April 2, the start of the next school year, I plan to start a new blog. Please stay tuned for details. Until then, I'm Yama and I'm out!
