[Sca-cooks] Pennsic Blood Drive

[margali]

Hm, iron rich.

spinach and cheese pasties [using the ubiquitous dim sum presses=)]
some beans are iron rich, chick pea cookies? also solves the celiac problem.
spiced nuts [atkins, celiac]
candied orange peels [just yummy, and a sugar boost]
prinzbiscuits or fine cakes from digbys
uncommon, but beef jerky and peperoni for us atkids as well...

sekanjabin and other syrups as drinks work well

and of course, the ubiquitous gatorade, orange juice and dry cookies for 
the peopel who dont want the nifty new stuff...
