Not Your Average Lunch Lady

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 11:59:22 -0400

Here's a piece I wrote with Pamela Enz:

I’m a public school kid, a “Cement Baby,” Brooklyn born and raised. I was a late comer to school lunch though, always being sent off with a brown bag or more likely running home for lunch since I lived close to my school, could see it in fact from my bedroom window. It was that kind of neighborhood, a thorough network of moms, friends, front stoops and kitchen tables.
