i don't know if i want to buy any meat. i am going to school for cullinary
and i can cook meat, i just prefer not to. if they want to bring it and cook
it that is ok, but i wanted to be able to provide them with an alternative,
i see your point about not lecturing but half my family is married in
italians, so food and heated disscussion goes hand in hand.
