At our dinner at the Senior Tally-hos' house on Saturday, the Young Relative reported that his father has developed serious lunch-packing skills. His school lunch this past Thursday consisted of (he remembered every detail) a sandwich, on sourdough bread, of Muenster cheese and tomatoes; chocolate pudding with strawberries; pretzels; and his favorite peanut butter crackers.
"That lunch," declared the YR, "is legend."
The YR's awesome lunches have not gone unnoticed among his Patton cafeteria peers. Always one step ahead, he sees the potential to use Dad lunches as a bargaining chip in trades -- and not just for Butterscotch Krimpets like in my day, but for desirable Fantasy Football players.
At the end of our dinner, the Senior Tally-hos brought out some Asher's pretzels covered with dark chocolate, and the YR eagerly bit into one. He loved them and immediately convinced his father to include them in this week's lunch: "With these I should be able to get Aaron Rogers!"
By the way, the YR says the start of his school year, aside from the intrusive school-construction project, has been the best he can remember. Good news.
