*We're fed lunch.  I was asked if either of us had food-allergies or food-prohibitions, and replied that the Young Neighbour likes individual foods separated by broad expanses of empty space, and the only food-combination I have witnessed him enjoying (so far) is pizza dough baked with mozzarella cheese and no tomato sauce (oh!  yes!  I remember now!  he does like mango smoothies), which is to say, he comes over faint at the sight of a tuna-fish sandwich.   Ham and cheese on rye with mustard and tomato is my idea of just fine, but he'd rather starve.   Carrot sticks separated by an inch from raw broccoli spears separated by an inch from a whole- wheat roll (no butter!) separated by an inch from a square of fine Ontario cheese, with a carton of 2% milk on the side is perfect.   They say this'll be a whole lot easier to accommodate than their usual food-prohibitions, which I can easily believe, only we might still take along a few apples and a bag of unsalted peanuts, just in case of egg-salad (*gasp*!).
