Description

📕 Get the full cookbook - The Lunch Lady's $3,600-a-Year Grocery Cut (175 recipes & tricks, scaled for 1, 2, or a family, $27): http://dorislunchlady.com/ Second grade. The girl next to me asked what was on my sandwich, and I said ham. It was mayonnaise, and I kept it half inside the bag so nobody would see. I am Mrs. Doris. I was the oldest of five in Scioto County, Ohio, and I spent thirty-five years behind a school steam table, where I could spot that folded lunch sack from across the cafeteria. These are twenty-five foods from the 1960s that told everybody what your family had before you ever opened your mouth. Number two I never told my mother about. Number one is the woman who noticed. #1960s #nostalgia #lunchlady
