La Nourriture

The food here at GLA is nothing to complain about. It's quite phenomenal, actually. The people running the kitchen could really open a very successful restaurant.

For lunch, we eat the same thing as the kids are eating. Haitian food. These meals rotate on a weekly basis, and they are as follows:

Monday is noodles with meat sauce. Also served with bright pink radish and potato salad that is surprisingly delicious.

Tuesday is beef stew with lots of veggies and garlic, served with white rice

Wednesday is fried plantains, seasoned rice with beans, and more beef stew, though the flavor is different than Tuesdays

Thursday is the most delicious soup with beef, potatos, plantains, carrots, and green leafy substances. The flavor in this is soooooooo good, and like nothing I've ever tasted before.

Friday is rice with bean sauce and fried vegetable root (the fried veggie roots are SO good, slightly spicy, crunchy, and very very delicious)

All the meals are also served with very yummy buns (bubble bread, as a matter of fact, for those who are acquainted with the term!) and there are always fresh cinnamon rolls for the taking as well.

Dinner is usually American food. Tonight we had sausages cooked with onions and cheese, cheesy mashed potatoes, pineapple, and avacado salad. Friday is usually pizza night, and it is good pizza.

On another note, happy birthday to my sister. One of the nannies that I've become friends with has a daughter whose birthday is today as well. She's on her shift, though, so we celebrated the birthdays of our sister and daughter even in their absence.
