N'importe

On that hungover day where I thought I had lost my purse.  The school lunch was:
1st course:  A container of beets.  Totally bizarre, but I was super excited and thought that someone must be watching out for me because apparently beets are great detoxers!  (Justine had informed me the day before when I told her I had been loving beets lately/eating them for breakfast...which shows that apparently my body does know what it's doing).
2nd course:  A plate of french fries, plus grands que ma tête!  Which I was kinda disappointed about because it did not go along with my whole health-day plan...but I immediately warmed up to the idea.  They were my favorite kinda fries, very potatoey :)  and I realized that this meal could not be more perfect for 'the morning after'.  It comes with both detoxifying elements and grrrrease.  Thank you France.  I was also entertained by how 'ravi' all the kids must have been.  A plate of french fries for lunch?  Yes please, Merci.  It also came with ham in another little container, but that's gross so I left it.
3rd course:  yogurt (the french always put sugar in it which is strange)
4th course:  An orange!  They decided to add some vitamin C to top off this oddly appropriate meal. 
I was as amused as my sore brain allowed me to be.

Also, did you notice that French schools get 4 course meals at lunch?  And I'm even in a ghetto one!  Although this isn't very representative of what they usually eat.  Usually it's some type of salad, then fish or meat with a vegetable, then cheese, then yogurt and fruit.  Infinitely better than corndogs.

  1. Wow! You weren't kidding about those French lunches. At least their lunches aren't annoyingly mini-sized
