February 25th

Like an 80's School Cafeteria

Remember the awesome school lunches as a kid?  The rectangle pizza, the neon yellow gravy, the little cartons of chocolate milk.  I loved getting the menu for the month and anticipating what was being made for us in the cafeteria.  The best was on holidays like Halloween when there would be "special" foods like witches brew or broomsticks.

Kids nowadays probably have to eat things like organic tofu scrambles and gluten free quinoa bakes instead.  How sad that my daughter might never get to look forward to that amazing rectangle pizza.

Chicken Fried Steak
recipe from: http://www.beingabear.com/2013/02/mr-bear-redefines-geography-chicken.html





This seems like something that would be served in a cafeteria.  Or in a country diner.  When I served it I thought, "This looks like a real 80's Midwestern meal."  And it was perfect because we watched the movie Heathers while eating it.  Just like being transported back in time.

Grades:

Megan - A- (I thought the gravy had good flavor and pretty much anything fried and soaked in gravy tasted good.  No wonder why my diet isn't working.)

Doug - B+

Noelle - A (Noelle ate a lot of it without much to say.  She mostly just wanted to make sure I knew that she didn't want to eat it with a fork, but instead wanted to "pick it up and take bites" because chicken fried steak is always better when you eat it with your fingers.)
