Himself chose last Saturday to be the day he takes his teaching assistants out to lunch to thank them for all the work they do helping him in the chemistry lab.
Our friend, Elaine, owner of the UxLocale started a lunch service so that's where we decided to go. Elaine never disappoints.
We ordered some homemade potato chips with an onion dip as an appetizer. I ordered meatball sliders, and I had a glass of unsweetened ice tea with lemon.
Himself ordered The Mac Daddy: shredded mozzarella, ground beef, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed pizza. Did you sing the jingle? I did.
Usually at the lunches some of the students are shy and there are lots of awkward silences. I understand it's hard to talk to strangers who are old enough to be your grandparents. Not this time around.
The two students were bright and funny. We had lots of laughs and lively conversation besides a great lunch.

It was the second option, Pizza!
DeleteBoth of your lunches look amazing. I'm trying to be "good" today, but I think your lunch has changed my mind. :) And I did sing the jingle. It's great when kids talk too. It sounds like you had a whole lot of fun. I hope you're having a great T day and enjoying this sunshine.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see the sunshine. I went out to the sunroom, but it was still too chilly. The kitties had a good time sunning themselves out there and watching the birds.
DeleteHow very nice to have lunch with the teaching assistants! I love to connect with students and much younger people, they have so much energy. I teach adults and mostly older ones, but one year I had three teenagers in my class - it was the best year! We had so much fun and laughed a lot. The energy and ideas of the kids really moved the class along in a very different way. It was fantastic. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteThey were very charming and entertaining.
DeleteLooks and sounds a good lunch.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
In one word: yummy
