Here's today's menu:

Super chewy chunk of pork(?), not very flavourful

Miso soup with tofu, sweet potato, carrot, and spring onion, nice and comforting

White rice with furikake (salt, seaweed, flavour granules, and bonito flakes, the previous contents of the pink sachet)

Radish, burdock, and carrot strips with mushrooms. One of my favourite Japanese side dishes

Milk in a glass bottle (200ml)

This meal gets... 8/10. Perfect rainy day food (it's been drizzling and grey for several days and will be until Tuesday, also my favourite type of weather). Points off because the pork was pretty chewy and I prefer to cut up my meat with a spoon rather than gnaw on it. To each their own I guess?

For those who don't know, I'm an assistant language teacher in Japan. I get to eat the school meals as part of my job. Some days the food is hard to identify. I have written a FAQ and responses to other frequently-made statements which you can find at the end of this post: http://imgur.com/gallery/1qsrEY3

Today's project! This is incomplete, but kept me very entertained most of the day. For those of you who can write Japanese, yes I know my handwriting and letter placement leaves something to be desired. For those that can't read Japanese it says "please wear a mask" and is aimed at my elementary school students so I didn't use kanji.
Yes, one of my students did try wearing his mask like on the right-hand side.

Next I will be colouring the masks in blue. Any and all suggestions welcome! I'll be making more too in the future :)

The view on the way home, quite grey but still beautiful.

Welcome back! Beautiful pictures as always. Hope the project goes well

Welcome back @OP. How was your time off? Since stuff seemed to be fairly rough before you left.

It was ok, still quite unfun but at least I got to choose what time I could wake up for a month which was nice

Welcome back! That’s a beautiful view. It looks a bit like some parts of Virginia in the US.

It had its ups and downs, like everything else in life :) but lucky me, I don't get paid this month because I didn't work during... vacation

Basketball in that pink sachet?

Apparently yes! Didn't taste like basketball, the sport or the object though so not sure where it came from ??‍♀️

@OP why are you tasting Basketballs frequently enough that you know it didn't taste like them?

Err... When I was a kid I tried to eat anything and everything...

Sorry, I've still not sorted out the tag list like someone suggested. Any help would be gratefully accepted

4 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Do you mean like automating it somehow? Also, can I join please?

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yeah, like an automatic tag where I can just tag like @japaneseschoolmeals for example and everyone gets a ping. Of course you can join!

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

That would be cool. If I find anything I'll let you know. Also, I'm trying to learn reading and writing, so did I mess up writing this (1
