[Sca-cooks] soooooo...

[Ian Kusz]

Well, either vegetarian or or not.  I do have, on hand, 44 ounces of goat
cheese, a large container of greek yogurt, and 2 or 3 packages of cream
cheese.  It should be something either that can be kept warm in a crock
pot, or can be served cold or room temp.

Something that requires minimal additional purchases.  I don't know how to
make couscous....is it easy?

As for rice, well, I'm afraid to provide a starch; 2 years ago, everybody
brought bread, and that was a disaster.  Unless it's something more than
just rice.

I do have a small box of couscous on hand.
