School lunch today
(Like most days. In MN school lunch is free as long as you get 1 each of food groups. Staff can get it too but we have to follow same rules)

Orange Chicken/Rice, Peas and Carrots, small bag of sliced apples and chocolate Milk.
(They also had egg roll and salad. I don't eat either. They have salad daily with a half dozen items to put on the lettuce and usually apples or carrots). As long as they have the apples I'm happy.

The nice thing is if the lunch I don't want I can get a Turkey or ham sandwich (each day varies…it's one or the other) or an uncrustable.

Edit: I was partially wrong on how much we have to get for it to be free. 5 components are offered each day. A student must take a fruit or a vegetable plus 2 other components to make a reimburseable meal. If not, the meal will be charged ala carte prices.

Funny thing is kids take apples then give it to someone or there is a 'free table' for items like that.

One other note from the other day….something I never had before
They apparently make the smiley fries like emojis. I have had smiley fries many times but each one (we got 6 of them) was a different emoji. I guess the schools can order them but I've never seen the emoji fries in the store. The ones I see they all look the same. I just thought the ones at school were 'defective' When the first one had a huge smile and an eye closed
Smiley fries vs emoji fries

As long as they have the apples I'm happy.

I have apples coming out of my eyeballs. My tree wasn't looking too good during the hot/dry summer. But as soon as the monsoon rains arrived the tree was bursting with fruit.

My total yesterday would have been $1.85 plus the drinks...

 

[Mr Tony]

Beef hot dog, Garlic mashed potatoes, Green beans
Bag of apples, Juice slushy thingy, Chocolate milk

 

[Mr Tony]

Chicken Alfredo, dinner roll, blueberries, pudding cup and chocolate milk
Could have bought a big rice Kristy treat but no cash on me and I don't have an account (they just log on a notebook how many adult lunches they do) so that was ok. The Alfredo was yummy

Grilled chicken, shrimp and squash spears

I was going to make burritos for lunch but my tortillas had mold spots. Those carnitas look tasty.

 

[dfergie]

Cooked in slow cooker from 9 pm till 10:45 am on low, added coke, orange juice and chicken stock cut into thirds (big pork butt).
Shredded added fresh lime juice and spices (mix of Slap ya mama, garlic and onion powder, chicken, beef and tomate bouillon and black pepper in a shaker) put in air fryer at 450 for 8 minutes, tossed and gave 4 more to crisp up.
I was going to cook on disc but saw a slow cooker video and sort of followed.
