[Sca-cooks] Non-Period Food for Non-Vigil

[Susan Lin]

I am a huge lover of sushi.  It can be done without raw fish and it can be
made a little in advance (morning of) and brought in the coolers.  Rolls
work best.

Also, if you're not inclined towards period foods pecan tassies (individual
bite sized pecan pies) are yummy.  Bruschetta bits can be made in advance
and then assembled on site.  Zucchini or banana bread is a good option.

Good luck.
