Bonding Over Gravy

When you were in school, did you hate school lunch? If you did, I pity you because lunch at my school was awesome. Luckily for Mia, it's still awesome and this conversation from last night proves it.

ME: Sis, what'd you have for lunch today?

MIA: Chicken.

ME: What kind of chicken? Chicken nuggets or chicken patty?

MIA: Chicken patty!

ME: Ooh! With mashed potatoes and gravy?

MIA: Yes!

ME: The yellow gravy?! You know I love the yellow gravy!

MIA: No, the white gravy!

ME: Ugh... with hot rolls?

MIA: Yep! And butter!

ME: Did you take half of the butter and put it in your potatoes?

MIA: No, I put half on my roll and a little blob on top of my chicken so it got all melty!

ME: Oh yum! Gosh I miss school lunch!

MIA: Mommy, it's kind of funny that you remember everything they serve...

Seriously though, that yellow gravy is the stuff dreams are made of - not quite 'cinnamon roll on taco salad day' dreams, or 'toasted cheese sandwich on soup day' dreams, but still fantastic!

  3. Who can forget our school lunches! We actually have a dinner night that we call school lunch. Steak Fingers, Mashed Potatoes with the white gravy, corn, and hot rolls. Only thing we are missing is the chocolate milk. I don't care what anyone says, The milk cartoon makes the milk taste better, I swear!

  4. I miss those little octagon shaped taco pizzas...usually served with hot corn,rosy applesauce and milk.Royals day was the best! Frank White milk..cuz you always got to choose white milk or chocolate milk.Guess the ACLU might have had a fit about that one.....and yes,the yellow gravy was the best to dip your roll in.

  8. Do they still do their burrito and taco day on Thursday? Don't ask me why I remember that but every Thursday was either taco salad or burrito. That was may favorite day to eat lunch. Their spaghetti sucked though!

  9. I loved taco salad day w/cinnamon rolls, and veg. soup w/the cheese sandwich too! Plus, their hamburger, chili dogs, and rubens w/homemade buns, along w/taco salad and cinnamon rolls! Pizza was pretty good too! You'll never find anything like it!

  10. I must add the only time I would drink white milk was when we had those "yummy" cinnamon rolls, nothing like dipping it!

    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many
    months of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any methods to stop hackers?
