What Was Your Favorite School Cafeteria Food?
At my rural southern Virginia school, the lady that was in charge of the lunches for all three elementary schools, one middle and one high school had several recipes for homemade bread that were staples on our menu - delicious rolls/buns for hamburgers, hot dogs and most other meals, Italian bread for spaghetti days, and the weekly treat of her yummy homemade cinnamon rolls.
How's the Restaurant Biz Near You?
In Asheville, NC, there are definitely more reservations and more bargains to be found. The bar scene and local music scene seem to be suffering a bit lately. I've read on Chowhound that a couple of restaurants have 'closed temporarily' or have changed their hours, but hopefully that will change when tourist season picks up in the spring/summer.
One positive thing is that the local restaurants I frequent seem to be doing well. Our favorite locally owned (cheap) mexican restaurant is getting ready to open a third (big!) store in a different part of town. A couple of new bakery/cake shops have opened up in the last few months and seem to be doing OK. Our favorite restaurant (dive bar with upscale menu) is still reservations-only for dinner unless the weather is nice enough to sit outside.
As always in Asheville, it's hard to find a job anywhere. But, I think I only know one or two people who have lost a job in the last few months, and they weren't restaurant jobs.

What would be the correct proportion (and any change of procedure) if using fresh tomatoes from the garden and not canned? It is that time of year!
