Tom, that is quite a "manly menu." It would cause a riot in a sorority house! Ground bologna or hot dogs...girls just don't eat that!!!
Back in the day, our cook was simply fantastic. The things Leetha Mae could do with chicken...wow

. One of our favorite things was to see what our new pledges from the north did with collard greens...LOL!! I never got her recipe for a crumbled Oreo cookie dessert because I figured I'd have to make it every day the rest of my life!
Daughter frequently complained that her house served too much chicken...and she was right. Her housemother told me she'd LOVE for the girls to suggest recipes. And certainly money is a major constraint.
Starfish has some VERY good info and advice.
