Peyton asked Shawn and I if we would eat lunch with her at school, so we trekked over there today. Now, for those of you who grew up in the Laramie County school system, you know that there was always one lunch that stood out better than the rest. It was the one hot lunch that almost everyone ate and they only had it once a month. You know what I'm talking about......chili and cinnamon roll day! And they STILL do it! (Only now my daughter is fortunate enough to have it TWO times a month!) I don't think the recipe has changed in the 20+ years they've been doing it. The only thing different is the cinnamon roll is now a wheat cinnamon roll.
I thought it was really funny when Shawn (who did NOT grow up here) looked around, saw several other parents eating with their children and asks, "Is this the only day they allow parents to come eat with their kids?" No, foolish one, it's just the only day that kids still LIKE eating hot lunch!
I totally remember Chili and Cinnamon roll day! They don't do that here! Sad.
ReplyDeleteThat does bring back memories of elementary school lunch! Haha!
