OK, so my mom's school district is all embroiled in crazy crises- trying to rescind the contract of the super because he fired my high school's principal (who is beloved by the community but politically at odds with the super) last week and got him banned from entering the school after he gasp told the staff *his* contract hadn't been renewed. So there is screaming and shouting at the board meetings and morale is in the toilet and there are angry letters in the paper, etc.
BUT! It is teacher appreciation week:
Teacher appreciation week is going to make me fat. Chocolate chip muffins for breakfast yesterday and enchiladas with all the trimmings for lunch. Today was "western" theme and we got a chuckwagon style meal: brisket perfectly cooked, half an ear of corn, baked potato, salad, roll and cheese cake bites in three flavors for dessert! I dread the breakfast they are putting on tomorrow (not really).
At least the community is stepping up. I LOVED teacher appreciation week. We ate so freaking well.
I miss enchilada dinners and brisket dinners. This stuff is homemade, not cafeteria generic.
