Posted by: foodguy: Some of you had asked if I had any more of my Mom's recipes, other than the "School Chicken", from when she was a "Lunch Lady". Over the weekend I found another of her most popular recipes from school. Every Wed. was "ice cream and cookie day", these being the dessert that came with the lunch. This was one of the favorites of the school lunch program. She cut this down to make for us at home, too. Thank you for letting me share these memories-as I've said, Mom, now 80, is an Alzheimer's patient. She loved working at the Cafeteria and seeing the children everyday. Many of them called her, "Grandma", which she just loved.
