Could you share some of these -- not the actual recipes but the menus. 
We have some members who would like to do this but we've gotten into 
splendiferous meals that take days to prepare and everyone signs up for 
so they are crowded noisy intense feast days. Other than Pizza Fridays 
where everyone pays $2 a slice for delivered pizza, meals are such a 
production. The simple meals we've had have been poorly attended. And 
they tend to be starchetarian. We also have vegan, vegetarian, and 
multiple allergies to contend with.
