    Thanks for posting the menu, Charlotte! This year we're holed up in Coronavirus mode in VT. I gestured to Grandma's tradition at lunchtime with veggie Italian sausage (added a little catsup for red accent), gouda cheese, bread and butter, and, of course, hard-boiled eggs. I've been thinking of Grandma and Grandpa a lot in these weeks of quarantine and making do. It feels good to at least nod to tradition at a time when things seem quite unstable and uncertain...
