At my church job, we rehearse for an hour, then have a breakfast snack
before the service. We take turns bringing in the treats. Everyone
always knows when it's my turn because I've taken to bringing in hard
boiled eggs, colored appropriately for the season (last fall I brought
in red, orange, chartreuse, yellow, gold and brown eggs). This is
because I have developed food intolerances to wheat and dairy
products, so the average coffee cakes, bagel and cream cheese, etc.
are not a good idea for me to eat!

I miss pizza. :(
