Are we going to bring a million plastic containers for the chopped fruits/veggies between meals? I like the idea of all these options! Do we think it will all get eaten? In the part with all the exclamation marks, when you say leftovers, do you mean wasted or tossed food? It looks like there will be endless leftovers. Will there be any salty type snacks? Chips/crackers/pretzels, or popcorn to go with our endless movie showings? And it looks like there is dessert for the bday girl, which is wonderful. Will there be dessert any of the other days? Or any popsicles or frozen stuff? I hear it will be hot. Just a few thoughts. Excellent work...it doesn't look like you included what Aaron Murphy wanted (according to Emily) to do. Will you still have time to enjoy Nauvoo with all this cooking?
Carne asada is not pork...
