Food Fight

I've been making it public what the lunch room has been feeding the kids lately and caught the attention of one of the school board members. This just doesn't seem adequate or lawful to feed 11, 12, 13, and 14 year olds.

This was what was served on 3 separate days.  

Interesting to note that this is what they have on the school website, though not as the meal served, just an example.  

Also, parents have not been allowed in for lunch because of the pandemic so they really don't know what the trays actually look like.  That was supposed to end today, however, I did not see any parents come to eat with their students.  We had another ice storm which is what they claimed caused not getting product a couple weeks ago when the 1st pictures were taken. However, lunch never looks like the photo on the website.  Not even half the items on the menu are even made or served.  We will see how this goes as I have made it 'the hill I will die on', to quote an old friend, to make the school accountable for better meals.

Sleet Again

 Man, another ice storm.  This one closed schools for 3 days.

This is all sleet, no snow.

Canyon slowly losing his mind being stuck in the house for 3 days.

But the icicles were pretty.

Winter Storm Landon

AKA The Groundhog Storm hit us and shut down Arkansas for 2 days.

 

We got almost 2 inches of ice / sleet and then 1/4 inch of snow on top in the night the 2nd day.

  

We ventured out for a walk when it stopped sleeting and our ears froze.  It was 26 with a wind chill of 17. We should have worn hats!

Sunday the street was starting to melt and schools were mostly back open throughout the state for Monday.

Of course the 3rd day we had to take a trip into town and spend some money.  😁

Even though I had just bought new pots and pans exactly 2 years ago, they were not holding up like I had hoped.  Lots of chips, nicks, and the outside paint rubbing off and discoloring.  

So I got this set at and I love them!
