Every 24 days we are responsible for bring "Refugerio" or lunch for the 24 kids in Lyle's kinder class.
We've done Spaghetti- big hit.
Chicken and rice- not such a big hit-we didn't cook the rice correctly and is was mushy.
This time my husband and I thought we'd do PB&J sandwiches on whole wheat, apple slices and carrot sticks. Yes, before you gasp about the peanuts, I talked with the teacher peanut allergies, she'd never heard of such a thing as an allergy to peanuts.
We show up with our lunch and served it up. Only 2 of the 24 kids opted for the carrot sticks and one was our kid!
Conclusion- Kinder kids in La Manzanilla don't like carrots and you are not going to make any friends by serving them.
When I shared this story with a client, her advice, "Twinkies, baby!"
WE'RE DONE HERE!

I had lunch with about 20 high school classmates. (We graduated in '67.) We talked about this odd development of food allergies among American children. None of us could recall a single person with a food allergy -- and most of us knew one another from kindergarten through high school. What has happened? I don't have any answers. I'm just asking.
You might try serving a giant cake, as well. I find that works as a great stomach filler. But, I guess that is simply a variation on the Twinkies suggestion.
LOL. My Youngest Son loves carrots!
I read somewhere that most counties eat raw or boilded nuts but in the US we roast them and the roasting process is what creates the allergic reaction.
