Alex needn't be versed in classical history to understand the power of bread and circuses as a tool to gain favor. In March, he discovered that his school library had a cooking section, and not only found cook books, but polled his classmates as to which were the best (gathering buy in), and promised to make these recipes for them. This was a Thursday, on Monday he delivered them beef tataki with lettuce wraps and orange tea served in an authentic tea pot from Japan. Of course he did not do this all on his own, he enlisted the aide of his mother, delegated, if you will, part of the preparation and the service of the banquet.
After all, while they were eating their bread he need to be giving them their circus; her discussed the items, their intricacies and touched upon points of Japanese culture as the cult of Alex grew. Our young Caesar's empire is growing within the 3rd grade, but he does not have a Cleopatra. Instead, he has two female friends, that are not girlfriends, who compete for his attention and like to be around him all the time. Hail Caesar!
