Today is the Mabo/Shumai combo menu.  It is always a good lunch.  The ham and nira salad was great.  Loads of bean sprouts, sesame seeds, and tons of flavor as well.  The mabo was fine, hot, and loaded with meat which was hearty and filling.  The shumai were little explosions of flavor that really went well with the tofu.  A yummy lunch today!  Warms you up on the rainy and cool day we are having.

Curry Udon and Baked Chicken!  Today’s lunch is another interesting combination and today is also known as Marmalade day!  The tuna salad is a home run as always and has excellent savory and sour flavors from the tuna and dressing as well as nice textures.  The curry udon was excellent today and the spices were really kicking which was nice.  Curry is always good in school lunch, but the level of spice varies greatly and today was super good. For me, the oven baked chicken is the main event today because it is the perfect size for making a little chicken sandwich.  I rip my bread in half and then split it again to make two buns and enjoy a chicken sandwich.  It is delicious, the chicken is crunchy and cheesy, but the inside is tender and nice.  Perfect chicken today!  Finally, the marmalade.  I used the second half of my bread today to enjoy a little marmalade bread dessert and it was great.  The orange flavor was on point and there was even some zest as well which was super tasty adding a little sour and bitter flavor as well which was a nice addition.  Great lunch today.

Niku Jaga Vs. Natto day!  Always mixed feelings on this lunch day.  I plow through my natto quickly and it was fine today.  After that I quickly eat plenty of the daikon and cucumber salad as well as rice to clean my chopsticks of the sticky strands as well as begin the long road to restoring my mouth to a state where I can enjoy the nikujaga.  Today’s nikujaga was a work of art.  I love the flavor and textures of nikujaga, the sweet and oniony broth and delicious juicy meat and yummy soft potatoes, onions, carrots, and beans as well.  Always this menu feels like a battle between the delicious and too good to be true nikujaga and one of my very few kyushoku nemesis, natto.  Still, every lunch is a good one even if there are one or two things I don’t like!  Thankful as always.

Today is an interesting lunch menu with a variety of items but I don’t really know the theme.  Unless the theme is delicious food items because today has all delicious menu items.  The flowering-veggie salad is one of the best of all time because of the choice of dressing, the subtle variety of crunchy and soft textures, and the fact that these veggies soak up the dressing perfectly making for super balanced and very flavorful bites.  Seriously one of my favorite salads.  Coming off of the salad I jumped right into the clam chowder, another favorite of mine as I have stated before, any and all kyushoku stews are delicious and today is no exception.  The texture of the veggies was perfect and the clam bits were yummy too, but overall I felt like it had more liquid than usual and wasn’t as thick and stewy as I was expecting.  Still, a really delicious stew.  The tomato omelet is a new spin on a classic menu item.  This omelet is always changing depending on when and with what it pops up with. Today is the tomato version.  The egg itself is actually flavored pretty strongly which is nice and has a light hints of salt and maybe even garlic mixed in.  In the center is a little surprise burst of tomato sauce, which had a nice flavor as well and even chunks of meat and onion too.  I think so far this is one of the best versions of the omelet to date.  The honey bread was delicious and had a light sweetness to it which was nice as well.  I ate most of it with the milk as a lead up to the dessert besides the portions that I used to clean my soup bowl.  Today’s dessert was acerora jelly and it was a nice sweet finish to the meal.  Great lunch today!  One of the best so far!
