When i used to go to classes i took some pretzels because i used to love two vodkas and a little dish of pretzels as a friday treat for 10 syns. Most other people took larger dishes but people were interested in snack style food too.

Hya. I made a quorn spinach, and chickpea curry. I have insulated serving dishes, bit like thermos flask. So didnt have to worry about heating it up. Everyone loved it as a change.:jelous:
