LUNCH: Meats and Sauerkraut

On these kinds of days, when you're in the classroom for six hours a day, lunch really does become the highlight of your long day. Today was a green salad, choice of dessert, and sauerkraut and boiled ham, sausage and potatoes!

If you go outside to eat sauerkraut and boiled meats at, say a brasserie (remember the one we ate at in Paris), a well-done sauerkraut (or choucroute, in French) can set you back 10 EUR or so.

The past few days at the school cafeteria haven't been extraordinary, but I suspect they conserve the budget for that one time a week when the meal is just fantastic. Like today!
