A School Bus Driver Recipe for Fun and easy for family meals. 

School Bus Driver Blog - Meatball Plater

Meatball Plater

 Make like a meatloaf, 4 pounds of  ground turkey is a good start,  adding your favorite spice packets for the short method or for the long method add onion, oregano, chopped pepper, chopped garlic, two eggs, and breadcrumbs and anything elce for flavor, then make into  meatballs the size of golf balls.

  Brown in a little oil on top of the stove, put on a baking sheet,  bake in the oven at 350 for about 40 minutes.

 Serve in fresh rolls (wheat are more filling).

 Prepare your rolls as you like, putting in the meatballs, add a little extra sauce and sprinkle on some Parmesan cheese.

 You can make your own sauce (click here for our low calorie version), or if time is a problem you can use your favoite pasta sauce. 

 Freeze the leftovers. It is said that the frozen ones are better because the spices are blended through the meat and the flavors have time to greet each other .

  To freeze use quart size bags, double bagging. Squeezing out the air, mark the date then put in the freezer. They freeze good for up to six months.

Enjoy, Brother Beno, Cheif Cook and Bottle Washer

At School Bus Driver Video Blog we have only the best we can put our hands on and that is the case here. Randi Mueller at Independence, MO  gives us this story.

The Story:

School Bus Stop

School Bus Stop

I noticed that one of the middle schools and student coming toward my bus struggling with a load of books and keeping his pants up. Sure enough, he approached the stairs of my bus and proceeded to climb the stairs. Gravity was taking over and sure enough, when he let go of his pants to grab the handrail for the stairs gravity took over and his pants drop some. He did catch them before any pride was lost and kept climbing.

As I approached his stop. The first one on the route sheet, with fully loaded books he made his way down the aisle. When he was next to me. I offered to assist him while he carefully climbed down the stairs. But as you all know, when dealing with middle-age school kids you were talking a foreign-language.He managed pretty well the first to stairs, but the third one was due. He cut himself before hitting the pavement and managed to maintain a hold on his riches, but the books went sprawling.

By this time, the whole bus was in motion with hooves and howling as I tried to calm them all down. So we could move on, he had pulled himself together, and strolled across the front of the bus to make matters worse, as he moved smack dab in front. He lost hold of his pants and down they went in full view of all the kids. But the most unfortunate for everyone. He had no underwear. It took some time for us all to recover and continue on.

Driving for the Independence School District #30 for years School Bus Driver Blog found out that Larry has been performing in the Kansas City area since the mid-80′s at Libraries, churchs, coffeehouses, bar & grills and festivals. It’s usually his guitar, and harmonica. But he has considered forming a duo or trio with friends, but his music is typically very personal and often on the dark or bittersweet side.

He thanks GOD for the Blessing of his WIFE (who is always there), THE SONGWRITER’S CIRCLE OF KANSAS CITY AND A SPECIAL THANKS TO DAVID HAKAN for his years of hard work. Othe influences are Johnny Cash (The Man), Ian Tyson, Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Emmy Lou Harris (who he thinks she sweet?), Lefty Frizzell, Gordon Lightfoot, Bob Dylan, and once more, JOHNNY CASH.

Hope you enjoy the song here. You may purchase his CD below.

school bus driver telling story
Robert Hall

Robert Hall is a driver I met on a field trip and on his way back from going to the restroom past my bus, I waved him down and had him come join the conversation between me and another driver.  In the process, we started discussing various things and found out that he was a country School Bus Driver, whereas I was a suburban driver and the other driver that was in the conversation was a city driver.  So we of course discussed the differences in techniques needed to drive in the various locations.  I unfortunately did not have my camera out at that time, but I did manage after he told a few stories of some of the things that he saw out in the country. I did grab my camera, set it up, and then got his permission to record him telling the story.  And this is it.

Robert is a fellow driver of mine in the Independence School District.  His route at the present consists of picking up homeless children at various shelters and taking them to the schools they are enrolled in before they became homeless until their families can get settled again.  And then if they need to they may attend a different school.  This allows the children to still have some form of normal life and school life despite the turmoil that is happened.  With his route there is a lot of temporary students that he picks up at established shelters, both in and out of the school district.  He has to go pick them up no matter what how far out thus leading him to some long days.  In that process he had a family member that became homeless.  And this is the story that is related because of that.

Bill Welliver, School Bus Driver

Bill Welliver, School Bus Driver

 Bill is a driver that I met while on a field trip.  We got into a discussion about the various things concerning driving a school bus and I found out that he has a special way of entertaining his HeadStart children with songs that he remembered from his past. 

 Not knowing how far into the past or from the what year.  A song would come into his mind and he would sing it  Then they would sing it and for sure it was an improvement over ‘The Wheels On The Bus Go Round And Round’ for untold rounds.  So in this video Bill gives us an insight as to the songs he sings and how you can pick some to teach your HeadStart children.
