[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Green eggs / Dr. Seuss

[Denise R]

The eggs WERE scrambled, and a lovely mint-green tone, with food coloring of
course, and they didn't read the book until AFTER lunch, which of course was
too late, the more (need I saw ethnic) students in the class took one look
at the eggs, and said, "I'm not eating those--yuck!".  Of course, my son dug
right in!  (I even made said eggs for breakfast this morning....)

If I remember correctly, I tried doing eggs and ham earlier in my life, and
the ham refused to turn green.  The school ham was pink.  They didn't even
try it.

The beets hit the trash.  The biscuit, though was perfect, soft yet flaky.

Grins.

I saw the biscuits in the bowl (everything gets served to the teachers in
bowls, and they dish them out to the students), and immediately thought of
Neil!  I wish I could have packaged and shipped one, but I doubt it would
have survived the journey, it was flaking into pieces on my tray! :)

Once we get more folks over at the other group, I'll transfer talk of food
there, promise!  Grins.
