First Day Back at Work

Today, our lovely lunch lady said to me that we were having Japanese style "risotto" for school lunch.

In a complete insult to the concept of risotto, I was served tasteless (like, not even salted) rice porridge that had seven different kinds of leaves (daikon leaf etc) chopped into the mix. The only plus was that it was served hot, unlike the cold rice we normally get. Not that I ate it.

The salt was rubbed into the wound when I got a side serve of crispy deep-fried-whole midget fish (gaping mouth and all) tossed in some lovely sesame seeds.

Why, God, Why!?!

More to come: watch for photos of Washington D.C up next!
