[ROFL2] Forgot about those, another lunch mom excelled at. Open can drain liquid, hope links didn't drop in trash.Quote:

Salisbury Steak, Sloppy Joes, & Cole Slaw were some of my faves.
Straw hats were my favorite in elementary school, sloppy joe mix on top of frito chips. When my kids were in elementary school I'd stop by for lunch with them on the days they were serving them.
As I recall, I had to make my own lunches since I was in the 4th grade. I didn't get to choose what I got, other than to refuse something I was allowed.Quote:

4 - slices of canned peaches (in a reusable container), or 1 piece of fresh fruit
SOMETIMES, and I mean sometimes, we got a snack cake (never brand name like Hostess), or 4 cookies - unless the cookies were homemade, then we only got 2 cookies.
1 - 1/2 pint of school milk. Dad was pissed when they raised the price to $0.12
I envied the kids who got to buy school lunches. I don't know if we were eligible for subsidized lunches or not, but even if we were, my folks were too proud to ever take advantage of that. I graduated HS @ 6'0" and just 138lbs. Within 3 months of graduation, after lots of working out and controlling my diet with 10x the calories I was used to, I'd gained 25lbs of muscle. It appears my body was craving lots more food.
PB&J&Bs! When I got these it was a treat. Liverwurst was a regular staple, as was lunchmeat.
But NOTHING could shake a stick at Grandma's...
Wait for it!
FlufferNutters!

My 3 favorite food groups
ARTIFICIAL Flavoring, coloring and sweeteners.
FlufferNutters! Mmmmmmm... PB&J for most days, in the winter it was tuna. I'd always sit with a kid that bought school lunches and 2 ice cream sandwiches. He'd usually only eat 1 and would offer me the other one. Those were good lunch days.
PB & J sandwiches were a favorite for my little brother and myself. It was usually Skippy creamy peanut butter, and because we had plum trees in our yard and at our neighbor's house, it was usually homemade plum jelly. YUM!
I need to make a FlufferNutter Beer.
