Mac&cheese is always so comforting. Too bad there are no good lunch counters anymore! Did you ever hear of Woolworths? They used to have a lunch counter. I only remember the grilled cheese sandwiches! Jett

Oh yes, we had a Woolworth's! I'm 10 years older than you and remember lots of things! We had drug store lunch counters too. I guess the fast food industry closed up most of the lunch counters but they had great food at very reasonable prices. When my kids were young and I was a SAHM, I used to take my mother to work on the day she started at noon, and she and I and the children would go early and eat lunch at the lunch counter before she went to work. Great memories!
