Today is another birthday menu day. Everything was pretty good. The school I was at today had extra everything so I’m pretty sure I had a whole field of spinach. The Japanese Popeye would be proud. The last time I tried to simply grill salmon I failed so miserably, so I just let the lunch ladies do it for me.

Although I put “green apple jelly”, the actual Japanese is “blue apple jelly”. This isn’t because Japanese apples are blue, it’s because there’s a national problem of naming clearly green things blue. I can somewhat understand (but not condone) naming bluish-green items blue, but green apples are quite green. Some are closer to yellow than green. Though English is far from perfect with words like “near-miss” and “compassionate conservative”.
