When school is 'over' you eat.Its just what you do. One day might be Egyptian food,another Indian, and American of course.Every year we serve the same. Breakfast.And every year has been the same.We could never figure out why they wouldn't eat the breakfast outside of the fruit and donuts. So we always made sure that was available since we knew they'd eat it.
This year we prepared the new teachers and I expected there to be so much food left over. Im pretty sure it has something to do with the fact that we have an English teacher who is muslim and speaks Arabic....but they tasted the food!They really liked the pancakes and we had to explain what it was made of, how you cook it, eat it, what you can serve it with,etc. The amount of syrup they put on them was laughable.not even a spoonful! They wanted to see the box it came in and wanted to know the steps.The principal even sashayed to the room wanting to know who brought this thing she was holding and eating like a burrito,lol.For her to come down,it was obviously good.If they ever go to IHOP,its over!
These pancakes excited even the secretary bc she gave me money to bring something for all the teachers to eat the next day.Leave it to me to exceed the amount she gave me but thats neither here nor there.Those who tasted the dip and bread pudding loved it and some took it home for later.I guess food is good for bringing people together.At least until the plate is clean.
Two more weeks of childless school.No eating because Sunday starts Ramadan.I mean,you can eat in your room.Just not with muslim teachers.First working Ramadan,we will see how it goes.
masalama!
