Fuss of The Day 3

For once, this was a fuss I fully took part in and supported whole heartedly. We had ramen (thin noodles in a soup) for school dinner yesterday...we've never had them before and they were a NIGHTMARE to serve...it took me and two other teachers around the big pot, one for holding the bowl, one for scooping the noodles with one of those sort of wannabe-ladel half spoon half fork things and me with a normal ladel scooping soup up. Serving it took twice the time it normally did and towards the end there were simply no actual noodles left and just soup...everyone was pretty excited about getting ramen for the first time, so serving some people ramen without any ramen in it would have been a bit of a slap in the face...cue wannabe oversized ladel being used to scoop a few floater noodles out of some small bowls and into the ones that had only soup. One guy still wound up with a bowl of ramen that didn't even have one noodle in it!! If today is anything to go by, that could be a joke that lasts the rest of this year!
