SC - Day Boards

. . . and, while we're mucking around with changing menus. . . .let me put
in a word for those of us on non-normal diets - diabetics, low-sodium, 
vegetarians, and the like. It would be occasionally nice to have a variety
of dishes available for lunch other than nameless stew, a set of apples (usually
Red Delicious, which are Foods of the Devil, so I always, always buy
ones that taste good like Fujis, which are pretty comparable in price), and
white bread. Have a meat thing, a vegetable thing, and a carb thing, and put the salt in
a nice shaker so people can add it if they like rather than putting it all
in when cooking. It's not all that difficult, and provides something
that nearly anyone can eat. And those who can't eat even that usually
bring their own. . .
