Wow! We must be headed for a landslide, because someone at the DNC has time
to worry about having colorful plates of food at the convention!

A 28-page contract requested by Denver organizers that caterers provide food in “at least three of the following five colors: red, green, yellow, blue/purple and white.” Garnishes could not be counted toward the colors. No fried foods would be allowed.

Is there someone on the staff that used to book rock groups, is this a standard request to caterers, is this someone's way to keep an inept staffer busy and away from the important stuff or what?

2. It's not uncommon in gourmet cooking.
I'm not sure what that has to do with the convention.

3. If your not already doing a spreadsheet on your Income vs Expenses...
(in detail) it might be time to start. Maybe there are other things out there that you can cut down on.
