After writing that yesterday’s lunch menu had a greater variety of soups and entrées (3 and 7 vs. 2 and 6) than the dinner menu from the day before, today’s dinner menu has three soups and seven entrées. The entrées included sole chicken a la king; lamb casserole; broiled ham; broccoli and fried egg; beef tenderloin; and cold lamb and turkey. The orange meringue pie and arctic roll desserts sound especially tempting.
