Hybrids are those who want to *feel good* and proclaim to the world that
they own one and are doing their part in conserving energy.........as you
just did...as you will not likely recoup any savings in the long run by
owning one.
The price of cars like the Prius are becoming more competitive. The
chef at my daughter's school just purchased an 08 for a few bucks less
than I paid for my 06.
I liked to know what school you daughter goes to. We only had lunchroom
ladies, no chef's allowed.


Holy crap, the lunch line at my school used to be like that, although
I did like the food.. Anyway, now my kid has windows to go to, there
is usually a salad window, a pasta window, a sammich window, at times
a taco window, a pizza window, a gyro window, etc, and a desert and
fruit window.. Each window has several things to choose from.. most
pretty healthy when taken in the right combinations... it is frekin'
amazing..


What, NO SUSHI !!!!!


Maybe in Berkeley - if they keep their government subsidies after
dissing the Marines! Excerpted from an oped piece at

"One earmark provides gourmet organic lunches to schools in the
Berkeley School District. While our Marines are making due with MREs
of Sloppy Joe and Chili with Beans, the organization Chez Panisse is
getting federal tax dollars to design meals that promote
"environmental harmony." Chez Panisse's menu features "Comté cheese
soufflé with mâche salad," "Meyer lemon éclairs with huckleberry
coulis" and "Chicory salad with creamy anchovy vinaigrette and olive
toast."

"Are we to understand that the city that has been home to many of the
country's most rich and famous cannot afford to pay for its own
designer school lunches?"

The guy at my daughter's Montessori school (here is Sacramento) is a
trained chef. He works at a restaurant too. Cooks just cook, the chef
creates menus and recipes. Granted this is a little kids school - His
job is to make the pizza as healthy as possible, etc. They have a
"cook" that schleps the food around to the classrooms and measures out
the pretzels.
