All of the parents brought in a dish from their culture and set it up buffet style. There was so much food, it filled 3 cafeteria tables. There were little signs to tell you what the ingredients were and what the food was called. So well organized, I couldn't believe it. I can't even imagine this working at my morning school. Although the schools are only 2 minutes apart, the communities are completely different.
Below is a picture of the dessert table. Craziness! I finally got to try these little gelatinous ball thingies that are filled with red bean. M and I were just looking at them at an Asian grocery store on the weekend and I've always wanted to try them. They were pretty good!
Usually I am a germaphobe and don't like to eat food that is made in other people's homes (that I don't know), but I tried hard not to think about that. I was so happy not to make a lunch today! We are having a pot luck at my morning school on Thursday.. oh dear, not the best week for clean eating! But I did lose 2 pounds last week!

The food looks so awesome. Just like you, I'm not one to try food that has come from a home that I don't know. It's just a weird thing... everytime a student offers me something homebaked at school I take it so I don't hurt their feelings but then I always throw it away when they have left my office. I even have to lie sometimes when they ask me how I liked it. I give you credit Jill for trying some food today. t looks like a nice school... I'm anxious to see how your other school makes out.
ReplyDeleteYes Michy, it started on Monday! I have Chloe, so I've secretly been asking her what she's craving with her pregnancy! hehe - ketchup chips!
ReplyDeleteI think that Justin has me - he regifted a gift that I had regifted for the Christmas exchange. Does that make sense? Anyway,so now I have my old gift back and I guess I'll regift it at next year's holiday party :)
J...are you doing secret valentine's this year? I always loved that! The lunch looked like a lot of fun...what a great idea! I miss seeing you everyday at school...it's just not the same :(.
