Today's Feast of the Day doesn't sound very exceptional, but bear with me. There's a brunch at school, to which boys, with their huge manlike appetites, are invited. So they run out of food just as the last people get to the tables. Instead of going into the kitchen and asking the cook for more food, the heroine and her best friend go upstairs to their room and see what they've got; they keep a box outside the window (it's February in New England). They come down with scrambled eggs, bacon, rolls, coffee, potato salad, and chocolate cake, which are gratefully received.
No, seriously, seriously - these two roommates keep bacon and eggs in their cold-box, just on the off-chance someone might want some? No idea where they cooked these things so quickly, or brewed the coffee (the chocolate cake was sent from home). But wow - for a feast that was completely unplanned, that's pretty lavish.
