At the rural school district I last worked at, we had 1500 students, of whom 1,000 were free lunch and 500 were not. The cost of personnel (an entire department!), computers, and software for vetting students to make sure those 500 didn't get free lunch cost more than the cost of simply feeding them, already.
The GOP jihad about preventing those 500 from getting free lunch is not about taxes or expense, it's about being mean to children. #gop#antichild#school#lunch#meanness

Thanks to my handsome husband, this is my #MakanApaToday: sambal tumis telur which he made for the first time, with step-by-step instructions from Che Nom.
I had a blood sugar crash today, so my #lunch had to be a bit of a #ComplexCarb bomb. What better way to do that than to have #Wuhan's most famous #StreetFood: 热干面 ("hot dry noodles"). (Note: famous, not best! That honour falls to 豆皮 in my considered opinion!)
This dish is a relatively recent innovation and consists of extruded (not cut or pulled) #alkaline#noodles (this gives it a very different mouthfeel and a completely different reaction to sauces used on it) which have been briefly cooked, ideally, in a complex chicken broth, pulled from the water, drizzled with sesame oil, then rapidly cooled to room temperature. The noodles are then, at the time of serving, dipped briefly into the broth again to heat them up before being dumped in the bottom of a bowl, with sesame sauce and soy sauce (only a tiny amount!) thrown on top before garnishment. (Most restaurants these days put out the garnishes in a buffet so you can decide what you want in your noodles.)
Before eating you mix the noodles, the sauce, and the garnishes together and eat with great delight. (The final three words are mandatory!)
My garnishes of choice today included: marinated seaweed, chili oil, pickled daikon radish, coriander leaves, and the omnipresent green onion.
Despite the awful start, I made it to work and was even a little early!
Chinese for lunch!
Hyundai corporate was not at all pleased at how we were blown off by the dealership about getting a loaner or rental while they have our car for 4-5 months. Mom was told they would get an answer for us ASAP, so we might have a car by next week!

Two fried eggs sauteed green and red peppers on top of sliced cheddar cheese
I'm wondering if my dumplings steamed faster than I expected or if I just was distracted, making it seem like it took less time. 🤔 #TemporalPhysics#Psychology#lunch
