My sentiments exactly.  As I've said before, I do a 5 day camping food group
annually and I try to be as period as possible. There are, however,
liberties I take just to ease the saner side of my brain.

I still take the time to publicize the menu way, have it posted on site and
still list all ingredients. It is a courtesy and sinse these are, for the
most part, my friends, I would really hate it for someone to anticipate one
thing only find out at the site that they have to go out for pizza for every
meal.
