Yup. When we got back from Japan, Charlotte hated the school lunches.
They were too 'different' from what she'd been eating for the past 7
years. We packed her up stuff she liked.


Charlotte was pretty popular to sit with at lunch because you never
knew what would be in her bento box and she'd share tastes about. Her
thermos was filled with dashi miso soup with little bits of green onion
or chives for example. Go-gurt was popular then so I'd get it at times
and add one.
