Ah... so maybe you need to suggest it to the cooks there... ;)

True.  He (and the rest of you) will be in our prayers... :)

A good thing.   :)

The wedding was somewhat low-key, with the reception held at their
favorite watering hole, Harvey's Tavern.  We had the second floor to
ourselves, and they supplied hors-d'ouevres of basic bar food... cheese
pizza, quesidillas, barbequed (I think) shrimp, and garlic bread topped
with steak, along with crudites platters... The bride (my new
sister-in-law) had been hanging out there for many years, and they
thought of her as family... :)   The food at the retreat was pretty
typical, tasty and filling...  :)  One meal they had apple crisp for
dessert, but they found a slice of gluten-free chocolate ganache for me
(which they had on hand for the gluten-intolerants attending)...
