How did your family get cafeteria trays?! The ham buns bring me back to my days in rural South Dakota, where whenever there was a church function late enough into the afternoon to necessitate the name "luncheon", all the church ladies would gather together and slap ham into rolls. They only used butter, no mayonnaise, but the amount of butter made it delicious. I couldn't figure out why they were so addictive, but I would always end up overeating when the circular tray piled high with ham buns materialized. Wash it down with some red punch which you try desperately not to spill it on the industrial brown carpet.
i have no idea how my grandparents managed to get cafeteria trays, but i'm guessing it had something to do with this thrift store chain. i know my grandma is a regular shopper there because every time i see her she talks about how hard it has been to find stirrup-ed stretch pants EVEN at "d.i." where she bought her last pair sometime in the mid 90's
also thanks for reminding me about the red punch. i really should have included that in the original post
