A funny email exchange

A wonderful email thread on preparations for a family lunch over Easter:

Subject: Lunch


So....
How about sandwiches onSaturday and Cuban (black beans and rice, yuca, plantains, and whatever else - maybe even a dessert for just us for Sunday lunch?  Yes? No?  If yes, what can we add to make Saturday lunch special?  Thought we'd get Cane's again, how about mushrooms or roasted vegetables for those that don't like meat?   Also, thoughts on side dishes?  Anything else?

I think sandwiches sound fine.  We can make it special by having fancy breads/cheeses/sauces rather than just regular sandwich bread and sliced cheese.  I can make a couple of veggie side dishes.  How about a pasta salad, a lentil dish, a couscous salad, and some roasted mushrooms?

Love you!!!!

And a bonfire of money for the center peice!

How about potato chips in a cacophony of flavors?

Also, this cuban thing mentioned, I assume there will be pork (that was a nice way of saying I demand pork, in case I was too subtle)
