It's good to be back in the routine... Kind of. Being on vacation always makes me want to quit working. Anyway, here's January's school lunches. I also (finally) remembered to take a picture of the whole month's menu, in case you were wondering what that looks like.

My main elementary school is a "self service" type lunch. This means there is just pots of food on a cart, plates on the table, and you just help yourself. This is nice sometimes, because if you're hungry then you can take more food, and if you aren't going to eat it all, you can take less. However, there are a lot of people who eat school lunch from the teacher's room, so it can be difficult rationing it out when it's self serve.
It's the responsibility of the first people to set a precedent, because the next people will judge how much to take by how much they see the first people taking. Unfortunately, there have been times where it wasn't rationed properly and the last people ended up getting only about half of what everyone else got... My secondary school isn't like this, though, because I eat with my students. It's all pre-served, which takes the guesswork out of things.
