Food and mourning
Hi pornistas, this is a sad post I'm afraid. A good friend's brother died last week and she's back at school now, trying to graduate college on schedule. I don't think she's doing well on the food front...she mentioned that she ate cookies for dinner last night because there wasn't anything else in the kitchen. It makes me sad that her house isn't full of casseroles brought by friends. I don't think my generation was brought up with mourning traditions that used to be standard practice.
So. Vegetarian casserole recipes/pasta dishes/etc? Short prep-time would be ideal given that it's midterm time and everyone's sleep-deprived. I sent out an email to friends about arranging a food schedule (making sure someone brings a dish every 2 or 3 days). If you have any other suggestions on what to do for a friend in mourning (food or otherwise), I would be incredibly appreciative.
Readily available ingredients (although don't feel limited to just these): yams, rice, black beans, big block of cheddar, tons of onions, bulk spices (I'm in a food co-op so most everything is bulk...)
