• White sandwich bread brushed with melted butter, cut in triangles
• Tossed salad (iceberg, peppers, onions, tomatoes)
• Ham slice with optional brown sugar glaze
• Mashed potatoes (instant)
• Peas (canned, swimming in buttery water, slotted spoon necessary on the serving line)
• Dessert selection: donated day-old cookies, puff pastry tidbits, miniature cupcakes

We kept explaining that the ham glaze wasn’t gravy but some people wanted it on their potatoes anyway.
