butterscotch hot dog bun?; fruit salad with yogurt; ramen with pork, carrot, cabbage, and bamboo shoot; milk.
Damn wednesday school with their hot dog buns. This was like a yeast-risen cinnamon bun kinda: buttery light airy dough, rolled in cinnamon and sugar. Tasted like butterscotch. Pretty good actually but bizarre.

The fruit salad/yogurt thing was funny. The kids giving out the food ran out after giving out like half the bowls, so everyone have to come back to the table and give back half their fruit/yogurt. I was towards the end of the line, so I took very little so the kids after me could take more. I took another whole bowl of ramen the same size though.

Salmon, wakame, and carrot rice. milk. onion coleslaw-type salad. stew with pork, carrot, onion, tofu.

It's not much to look at, but lunch today was very tasty. they use a sweet, mild onion in the salad.
