[Sca-cooks] lunch ideas- feedback

[Susan Lin]

The budget should be completely doable.
Depending on your kitchen facilities I would keep things simple.  Bear gave
you many great ideas.
I like making sweet breads (banana, zucchini, pumpkin, etc.) they're not
particularly period but they disappear whenever I make them.

Back in the East I wasn't allowed to make a meal or a sideboard without
honey butter for the bread - I think it might have been a rule or
something!!

Tarts work exceedingly well and can be served at room temperature.

Good luck and have fun.  Planning is key and making whatever you can in
advance to make the prep closer in time more manageable.
