I picked the little Smiths up from school today, and the car was immediately filled with the usual sounds of laughter and chatter as they reviewed the day's events. Because I'm just always curious and/or anxious-to-be-in-the-know about what my children are eating, I asked, "What did you have for lunch today?"
Ni'ke piped up and announced that she had a "sloppy Jones" sandwich and she liked it very much. (insert mother's giggle here.)
Rea then casually mentioned that she had rotten pasta.
"What do you MEAN you had rotten pasta??!!" I asked, absolutely horrified.
"I don't know," she said. "It was just rotten."
"Well, what did it taste like?" I probed, imagining the worst, and planning a u-turn at the next stop light to go back to the school and "inquire."
"It was really good."
HUH???
After a few more questions, I discovered that Rea actually had a delightful meal of ROTINI pasta at school today. (sigh) Thank goodness. :)
Speaking of delightful meals, the Ortho Unit at work last night rocked a seriously awesome potluck dinner!! The theme?? "Ethnic Potluck Night" - bring a dish that's common or a favorite from where you grew up. Imagine the diversity!!! Bay Area melting pot of amazing cultures, right HERE! (On a funny note, one of my favorite nurses thought it was "ethical" potluck night, and was offended she wasn't working to participate! :-) hahaha!!!)
We had (to name a few): Puncet (tasty dish from the Philippines), beans and rice - Mexican style, rice and curry - Fiji Islands style, brats (from our Iowa native), and last but certainly not least was tiramisu from our lovely Italian nurse! :) What did I contribute to the pot luck, you ask?? Ham and beans and cornbread, my favorite childhood meal!!
Gotta love left-overs!!!!
