Plenty of Carbs

It is our recollection from childhood the hot lunch at school typically included a fairly well-rounded, balanced meal. It wasn’t too heavy in one food group versus another (protein, starch, etc). Well, the last few weeks Juliet has begun to eat hot lunch a few times a week. Each night this week, Scott has asked Juliet what she had for lunch.

Monday:
“We had Grilled Sausage … and Rice”

Tuesday:
“We had Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes … oh yea … and Rice”

Wednesday:
“We had Cheese Pizza … and Rice”

Sensing a trend, the following conversation occurred this evening:

Scott: “So do you have rice everyday?”

Juliet responded with a touch of sass: “Uh yea … Last week we even had Rice with Spaghetti, but I usually only eat a few bites because … you know … It doesn’t taste very good.”

Scott: “Is it Fried Rice or Steamed Rice?”

Juliet: “You get what you get and you don’t throw a fit!”

And that was that.
