[Sca-cooks] Dayboard anxieties

[Generys ferch Ednuyed]

IMO, STC should be eaten on BREAD, not evil veggies...;-)  and thus it's a
much much better thing when it's NOT on the veggies in advance... :-)

| Why so much STC?  When you planning on making it?  If it isn't served up
| soon after preparation it separates.  What are you thinking it will be
| served on?  I don't see any veggies except carrots and cabbage, and
frankly,
| I can't imagine STC on cabbage.
