Amy Orchard 7/10/2019 7:08 PMSad but happy day. I'm away from home for the week eating in a cafeteria. They offer real dinner wear! Happiness! I've made friends with the chef and he knew I loved his crustless quiche so he saved me a piece in the fridge. Happy day! But it was in a styrofoam container. Sad day. We can not control everything we use, can we? -
