This afternoon we stopped in to visit a fairly new resident of the Ware Presbyterian Village outside of Oxford and found him sitting on his front porch, reading a detective novel. During our conversation I asked him how the food was at Ware, and he said it was "very good" and said he'd tried dishes he'd never had before in his life. He showed me the printed-out menu that all the residents receive, and I was amazed at how appetizing it was: just a few of the offerings were fried calamari with marinara sauce, chicken with mango, rainbow trout, chicken salad on brioche, BBQ ribs, all with the calorie count and nutritional data spelled out.
As we were leaving, we saw a few of the senior citizens already heading up the hill to the dining hall.
