The Lunch Bunch

I eat lunch in our staff lounge every school day. I have ventured into the MPR (multi-purpose room...I know, we add a stage and all of a sudden the lunch room has multiple purposes!) once each year to have lunch among my constituents. These are fun days because I am basically a rock star in the cafeteria. I'm not going to lie, it makes me feel great to have 130 sixth graders screaming my name. I just smile and wave as I glide past...

Anyways, I eat lunch with the other sixth grade teachers, well, most of them. A few from the other team don't come in with us. In December, Amy and I decided we should have a taco bar during our lunch. I know, cool! We all just really enjoy each other, and we wanted to celebrate our unity by eating the same food on the same day. Plus we like tacos.

As the year is drawing to a close, I reinstituted our potluck idea after Kevin got a little nostalgic over tuna boats served at PLU while he was a freshman there. Maybe I am taking more credit than I deserve, but this is my boring blog, and I can do that!

The point is, we had Tuna Tuesday. The menu included the following items:

Tuna Boats (hot dog buns with prepared tuna and yellow cheese broiled in the oven, add pickles).
Tuna casserole with potato chip flakes atop
Tuna casserole with an oriental feel and cashews atop
Cesar salad (which has anchovies in the dressing and is easy for Chris to make)
Mixed fresh greens salad with avocado (because Amy eats that every day and it was delicious so it should be a big part of any meal, that's why!)
A cake in the shape of a tuna fish compliments of The Cake Queen of Sixth Grade Lunch (I maybe just gave myself that title, but again, my blog!)




It was a magical and smelly lunch for all!
