I still remember the excellent grade school lunches we had (’58-’64) cooked by two little old ladies from scratch. Oven fried chicken, mashed spuds, green beans, biscuits, spaghetti, mandatory fruit cocktail, the works. A fast eater could get seconds if there was any chow left.

You’re way ahead of this Texas garden. There are a few small green tomatoes but none close to harvesting. Yes, greens are all that’s ready here. hussein must have signed an EO for climate change in her garden.
I remember our wonder lunch ladies, too. You couldn’t concentrate in class due to yeast roll smells floating through the halls, yum. Those were the days of government peanut butter. There was some form of pb on every tray every day and no one died.
Fight for French bread pizza on Friday or GTFO, bi-atch!
I hope she chokes on a carrot.

She needs to get down to the Texas border and bring some salads with her. I’m sure those kids will be very happy.
....and Russian planes are off the California coast.

My Texas garden is about finished. The green beans put out one picking and died. I’m fixin’ to pick some purple hull peas. I’m getting a few cucumbers and some okra. The tomatoes are doing good. I almost lost them but some powdered milk buried next to the plants gave them a shot of calcium and now I’m in tomato Heaven!
If we get any tomatoes at all, we have enough to share with the birds.
every school in the country should have to follow the menu of Sidwell Friends.
