[Sca-cooks] a Lenten question-

[Susan Browning]

I did it last year as an experiment.  I am not Catholic, but wanted the 
experience.  It certainly was interesting, and we have much more access to 
non seasonal food, and vegan items that make it a little easier.  Did you 
know that all but one of the major brands of margerine contain milk 
products?
