Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 I remember one time I invented a way past eating the red beets we'd be served; I figured if you crushed them they'd look enough like the remnant sauce that it would pass inspection. Yes, remember having to take your food tray to the window and have it okayed to return? If you didn't eat all your food you went back and sat down until you did. Those were the days when we gave a damn about kids and nutrition.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Oh, you were clever! *lol* I hated those beets, and we also had two strict women that would have to inspect our plates before we were allowed to discard anything. I was given to hiding food in my empty milk carton. Three items I found particularly repulsive: 1. overcooked spinach, 2. those nasty beets, 3. apricots in heavy syrup. Not sure now why I disliked those apricots, but once I tried to avoid them by telling a fib that I was allergic; of course they called my mother and she told them I was full of it! Food, glorious food! ~ feral ~ People think love is an emotion but love is good sense. ~ Ken Kesey ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~> , The Stewarts <stews9@c...> wrote: > I remember one time I invented a way past eating the red beets we'd be > served; I figured if you crushed them they'd look enough like the remnant > sauce that it would pass inspection.
