We started a discussion awhile back about school lunch room meals and food from our childhood. I found these cool bright red lunchroom trays at Tar-jay and we were off. We selected Chicken A'la King, a plain iceburg salad with 1,000 Island Dressing, whole kernel corn and a nice moist, chewy brownie. This was fun. There'll be more Retro Food/Lunchroom Meals in the future. Stay tuned.
