Lunch is the big meal of the day here, and school lunches have been a problem. To have the kids eat at school would be one 10th of Troy's income, so Tristan takes tangerine, Wyatt takes a sandwich, and Winston takes leftovers. A staff person ambushed me at school and said that for the kids to use the microwave, we should be paying $45 per child per month. I smiled and nodded while thinking ?!#%*?
But as soon as I calmed down I wracked my brain for what we did when I was a kid. We had a metal lunchbox with a thermos.
Winston loooooves his thermos and folding spoon.
He heats the water in the electric kettle and adds the chicken noodle soup. He does it himself while I drive Troy to the metro. And voila! Hot soup at lunch.

That is crazy that they want you to pay that much to use the microwave -- at that price you could buy your own and keep it at the school. ;) I love hearing about your life there. So interesting!
