The only thing that bothers me is that those sticking closely to the lenton 
feast don't get a lump o'protein anywhere.  sure, I know that they don't 
need it nutriionally at that meal--there are bean dishes and they can get 
protein at another meal.  But could you slip a cheese or egg based dish into 
course 1 or 3, or a fish dish?  Canned fish would do and, Bear, I think, 
said Wal-Mart in your area has frozen herring.  Some sort of pie or other 
made dish.

Then again, you are in the middle of the continent where people 'don't eat 
fish' so not bothering may be best.  You are experienced enough to know.
