Many years ago I walked out of a sandwich shop. The place had it's usual lunchtime line but seemed to be short handed. They asked one of the employees from the kitchen to pitch in on the sandwich line, which he did. Assembling sandwiches with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. A number of us left.

I also had always heard that the inspiration for the Swedish Chef was Chef Tell.

Hydrox cookies and Funny Face drink mixes.

I don't care if it means spending more, I won't shop in Wal-Mart for anything. Don't like their forcing jobs out of the country, their corporate philosophy or their 'Amway' style of motivation.

Setting and clearing the table

Anything with hard boiled eggs. I just don't care for the texture.

Having always been a pretty coordinated individual the, one of the few things that I have tried, but have never been able to master are chop sticks. I have, however, mastered fork, knives, spoons and fingers.

Grape Nuts with fresh blueberries, strawberries or peaches. 2% milk. Good for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

The only three things I remember about school lunches were:

buying 2 slices of buttered rye bread, a scoop of tuna and making a sandwich

the lousy rubbery pizza they served

a good friend who everyday ate the same lunch. Two pints of milk, an ice cream sandwich and two Ring Dings!!! Everyday for the three years we had lunch together.

I drink 2-3 cups of of black (no sugar) coffee everyday. Not a fan of flavored coffees or coffees with cream/milk. Much of my coffee comes from a local shop which has an excellent selection of coffees from different parts of the world.

Hellman's Mayo

I'm the type that used to make almost everything on a roll or between a couple of pieces of bread. Unfortunately I can't do that any more. But my favorites were meatloaf (home made), chicken salad or a good old PB&J with Jiff creamy and Hero Black Current Jelly.
