school lunches

Today the smell wafting down the hall at work reminds me of school lunches. It reminds me of bean burrito days, one of my favorites. A weird mix of warmth and veggies and something that can't quite be placed-something not as natural or healthy as Mom's cookin- that fills the nostrils, not quite sure if it's good or bad. But this is the Department of Nutrition; what unnatural food could find its way here?! When I was little we got to pore over the lunch calendar and choose a day every month or so that we could buy a school lunch. Rarely, on the occasion that I forgot my lunch, I'd get a bonus school lunch and if I was lucky it would be a burrito or pizza.

Who, I wonder, got a school lunch today?
